For some reason known only to him, failed one-term former president Donald Trump decided he’d start discussing the subject of magnets and how they work during a Friday campaign rally in Iowa.
In a video shared on Twitter/X, the disgraced ex-head of state tells supporters, “They had an almost billion-dollar cost over on the magnetic elevators. Think of it. Magnets. Now, all I know about magnets is this: Give me a glass of water, let me drop it on the magnets. That’s the end of the magnets.”
Water on a magnet makes it stop working? Um…no.
As a matter of fact, water is almost completely non-magnetic, so magnets work underwater the same as they do in air or in a vacuum. Cold water has absolutely no effect on the field or on the magnet. Hot water, however, can reduce the strength of the magnet and therefore potentially weaken the magnetic field.
As several people pointed out, Trump continues to show signs of serious cognitive decay.
Remember how Trump once called himself a “stable genius”? Clearly, he’s neither.
