President Donald Trump thinks no one knows what a magnet is. The polarizing president was in conversation with Fox News about the economy when he veered off track to discuss China and magnetic trains. President Xi was willing to do the railroad thingsthats magnets, he said. Now, nobody knows what a magnet is. If you dont have a magnet, you dont have a car. You dont make a computer, you dont make, er, televisions and radios and all the other thingsyou dont make anything. Its a 30-year effort to monopolize a very important thing. Now, in two years, well have magnets, all the magnets we want. Because of tariffs, listen I called, I said youre going to play the magnet, were going to play the tariff on you. His confusion over magnetism is well documented, and the record suggests he was being sincere when he said, No one knows what they are. During his diplomatic tour of Asia, Trump,79, stood in front of servicepeople of the U.S. Navy and said, You know, the new thing is magnets. So instead of using hydraulic that can be hit by lightning, and its fine. You take a little glass of water, you drop it on magnets. I dont know whats going to happen.

Trump continue to shows signs of not being mentally fit for the job.

the fact he didn't follow up with that statement by rambling on about how much he knows about magnets and how its such a big accomplishment that he knows so much when nobody else does and did you know that his family has many fine sciency people who actually invented magnets really exemplifies how humble our god king is.

Trump is a magnet.

Attracts some, repels others with very little in between.
Also, if you know anything about magnets of a certain large enough size, they're dangerous as all hell to their environments and living creatures in them.

Magneton was one of my old faves.

We are reaching levels of stupidity that no one could have seen coming. By 2028 Trump will be openly masturbating in the oval office while talking to reporters. Fox News will show him ejaculate in slow motion.

trump and his administration have weaponized the firehose of falsehood so successfully that nothing he does really raises eyebrows since its just a constant tidal wave of bullshit. that plus the fact that the media is much more willing to make fun of a man dying of cancer instead of upsetting the guy who might get them banned from broadcasting.

The bigger problem is so much of the media is now owned by Trumpists.

Nooooo. This was a song they made because they hit 40 something and they were like "Dawg, there's a lot a crazy shit out there if you think about it". They were both born in the 70s in Michigan.

A TON of their other stuff is about the circus, Faygo and fat chicks, garish crass "humor", and telling people to fuck themselves. They also have a song called "Chicken Huntin'" where they talk about "chopping chicken necks", except they're talking about Red Necks from the south who are racist.

Not 100% sure if serious, but its a reference to a specific clip from the song Miracles.
I would link the specific clip, but it is NSWF language and I am not 100% sure off hand what the policy for linking that is. If you go to youtube and search for "ICP Magnets," the second hit should be a 10 second clip of the relevant part.
