Trump’s Attempt To Impress Navy Turns Into Confusing Lecture On “Old Water Science”

During a recent address aboard the USS George Washington, docked at Yokosuka Naval Base, President Donald Trump made headlines with an unusual remarks about magnets before approximately 6,000 sailors and naval officials. Trump veered off-topic, advocating for the return of steam-powered catapults and hydraulic systems for elevators, insisting that water can disable magnetic technology. He proclaimed, “You take a little glass of water, you drop it on magnets,” showcasing confusion regarding the physics of magnets and water. Further in his address, he lamented the $993 million spent on catapult systems, asserting the reliability of steam and hydraulic technology. Trump's comments sparked incredulity, particularly as he repeated misleading claims about magnets and their functionality. Social media lit up with reactions, questioning his understanding of magnetics and expressing frustration over his remarks. Just days later, Trump spoke about undergoing an MRI during a routine physical, raising further questions about his cognitive and physical health amid ongoing scrutiny. (Photo: Wikipedia Commons)
