No surprise he guy that asked if they should nuke it to stop a hurricane.
Or inject disinfectant to fight Covid. The guy is full of great ideas. If I'm not mistaken, his last great idea to prevent forest fires was to rake the forest floor.
My comment from just this morning:
The whole thing was, if possible, even dumber than people think.
Can't find the video any longer, all you can see now is Trump on the podium saying stupid shit, you miss the context.
Trump's taking the stage, ill prepared as always, when he stops for a few moments to read a CDC infographic on ways to sterilize surfaces. Then he just turns on his mouth and lets it run.
God help me, there's nothing more I can add to illustrate how idiotic it all was.
Oh, I remember, he also suggested somehow getting powerful light inside the body. The Covid briefings should have left no doubt amongst the populace that Trump is a blathering idiot that gives no thought to what comes out of his mouth or the potential consequences. That was mostly fine until he became the leader of the free world. That republicans are satisfied with him representing them is damming. Believe it or not, there are smart, articulate people with conservative politics. Trump is not among them.
*nuke
Thanks missed the typo.
This guy is so detached from reality, it's surprising he's not suggesting that California asks the Jews to use their weather control device to create rain where needed.
Conservatives don't have enough backbone to actually defend this nonsense, they'll just slither away when confronted about it. Oh, but they'll still back this goddamn moron either way.
So, when I read a headline about a politician talking about something, and what they say sounds so far beyond ridiculous and stupid, I imagine there is probably some level of context that makes it less stupid, but just poorly stated, that the particular article has no incentive to show.
Apparently not this one, as Trump went on to blame the Governor of California for not dampening the forests, and suggested the water falling in the north is "free."
That is honestly one of the dumbest things I've read from an adult, and people cheered for it.
I mean, his last big idea for the entire world being on fire was "rake the leaves," so if raking and watering isn't gonna work, what do we do? Nuke the forests? Draw a new fire map with a sharpie?
As Carlin once said- “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realise the "leader of the free world" was stupider than that.
Me too. I'm always looking for the context, what really happened. Nope, nothing else to see here.
And this won't even make national news. Meanwhile, Dan Quayle was too dumb to be VP because he spelled potatoe wrong.
Will the media never learn not to give this moron a platform ? We do not need to hear his every "thoughts" on whatever topic. People who have not grasped at this point that he is as stupid as a sack of corrugated plastic will never be convinced. Stop giving him exposure for pity's sake.
Spoken like a guy who has never seen the vastness of our national forests.
Spoken like a guy who doesn't put more than 5 seconds of thought into anything before spewing out his dumbass ideas. He just says any bullshit and his followers will clap and cheer no matter how insane it is.
You can see him looking around like "are they buying it?..." then the dumbasses cheer, then he commits. It's just a feedback loop of stupidity.
I suppose we should stop hurricanes by drying up the ocean.. just install a drain, really horrible ocean management.
Or stop earthquakes by putting rubber feet under cities, very poor city design....
Just put big fans on the coast to blow them away.
yeah! back to Africa! we should only support locally sourced hurricanes.
No, you stop hurricanes with nukes.
I remember when Trump suggested raking the California forest would prevent wildfires.
He was our president then, elected by the US. It was a very embarrassing time for the USA. The world laughed at us. I didn't vote for him but he still made me feel shame for our country.
You seem to have forgotten that he suggested to build a wall all along the US/Mexico border, have Mexico pay for it, then build a moat, and fill it with alligators.
Honestly after he suggested injecting lysol or bleach directly in to your veins to cure covid I will never be shocked at the slander that comes out of this idiot.
Good idea, let's do that. Except there's no way to do that manually, so we'll have to use some sort of natural process...how about rainfall? All we'll have to do is reverse climate change, and then we can increase the average rainfall in California, and then the forests will be "dampened."
And it was all Trump's idea; to repeat, "anthropogenic climate change is real and we should reverse it" is now Trump's official, stated political platform.
All right, shh, nobody say anything, let's see if this works
Excellent work. Really indicative of a guy who spends his life indoors.
My solution: jail Drumpf and wet the forest with conservative's tears... they seem to cry so easily
there's already enough toxins in the environment.
The moron cannot imagine a solution that doesn't involve throwing some money at. Because all his problems are solved by lawyers and/or a few million dollars, it's outside his ability to understand the scale of real problems
Of course there are forest fires in Austria. The climate of the northern Alps is not conducive to fires, but the south is more vulnerable.
“They say that there’s so much water up north, that I wanna have the overflow areas go into your forests and dampen your forests,” Trump said. “Because if you dampen your forest, you’re not gonna have these fire forest fires that are burning at levels that nobody’s ever seen before.”
Absolute dumbass shit.
‘You have very poor land management,” he continued before recalling a conversation he had with an Austrian official about forest fires in that country. “He said, ‘Sir, we have more flammable trees than you do on your coast. We don’t have forest fires. We have land management.’ They take care of the land. They pick up the dead trees. You know, a tree doesn’t burn very easily unless it’s dead. Then it gets dry and it burns. The leaves on the ground – they’re five feet thick over here.”
Stuff that might be true (I'm never going to look into this) but isn't funny. Goddamn Trump sending mixed signals here.
There's no mixed signal here. The signal is "America bad, I fix", and millions of idiots will continue to fall for it. The details of the 'bad' and the 'fix' don't matter.
Love that the example is Australia, because just 3 years ago the whole freaking country was on fire.
Edit: lol, am dumb. He talked to the European “Austria”, not the kangaroo-laden “Australia”.
Austria. A country who’s about the size of a county in California. Not Australia. California has forests probably 4x the size of that country.
Lol, thank you for the correction xD
Do Republicans know the story about the king who had no clothes on? Do they understand what it is about and how it is a metaphor? Do they know the word metaphor? Who am I kidding....
But he hates the same people they do, which is the most important thing to them.
Quite to the contrary, they know that he's naked, that's the whole point. They get off on people pointing out that the emperor has no clothes, because they've built a shared identity around defending the emperor and his very stable genius choice to be naked.
"Of course he's naked! That's why we love him, because he triggers the libs!"
Yes. Moisten your wood, California. Moisten your wood.
You know what the saddest part is? Trump voters will try every trick in the book to convince everyone else they’re mentally ill, yet they will vote for this or any other dumpster fire, to keep from looking in the mirror.
