Donald ‘Dunning-Kruger’ Trump. The fact that he says such stupid, incoherent gibberish and doesn’t really hear how idiotic he sounds is embarrassing.
Is it just me being bad in English or did you other also weren’t able to understand what the fuck he tried to say there?
See? Even this cow has a better grasp of the English language than trump. “Cows_are_underrated” don’t think I didn’t see through your pro-bovine propaganda.
Basically, he’s talking about rerouting the water coming from the Rockies that go into the Pacific and moving it into the drought ridden bits of California… I think.
He’s doing this with the phrasing you’d use to explain how the water cycle works to a toddler, mind you. So, if that’s how he’s trying to explain it to adults, that would suggest it’s the only way he can understand it.
Okay, you say “phrasing,” but what he said is there is a giant faucet. Given the other retarded shit he has said, how do we know he doesn’t literally mean a physical object that turns?
We don’t. I’m giving it the best possible interpretation and even then, it makes him seem like severely mentally stunted
Neurosyphilis is wild
Nah, don’t give him, or his voters that credit. Motherfucker has been this dumb his whole life.

Please don’t give him any ideas. Though I have to say that sounds intriguing
Still couldn’t be worse than Moonfall.
The depths of his stupidity and the continual display of his complete lack of knowledge or curiosity about how anything works or ever could work makes me so irritated with his immovable, enabling moronic “base”.
That he even has a good chance in hell of winning shows how far gone this country is.

We really need to mark if Trump memes are real or made up. I hadn’t heard that he said this, but I can totally believe it. I just don’t have time to fact check every meme to know if I should be laughing or terrified that there’s a potential or former leader who believes stuff like this.
Granted, both options are valid with Trump.
Here you go. Skip to roughly 1:30 mark for this quote.
I kept scrolling in Lemmy, saw a post in politics talking about it, but thanks. I can’t say I’m surprised, but I’m amazed that people are willing to vote for someone so obviously stupid. I understand there’s a certain element of anti-intellectualism, but this is gradeschool knowledge we’re talking about.
Oh, he’s making a metaphor.
OK it takes a day to open the dams and for water to travel.
Wait, the faucet is as big as that wall? He’s talking about an actual faucet.
I’m out.
This dipshit is the most accurate representative conservatives could come up with. He’s be re-affirmed as their most accurate representative time and time again over the last decade. This moron is who conservatives are, and they are proud of it. Remember this when you talk to conservatives in your daily life. They are as profoundly unintelligent as they are evil.
Conservatives like him because he’s racist.
That’s it. It doesn’t matter.to them if he doesn’t know how rain works. They don’t care if he couldn’t tell you how hurricanes travel.
All they care about is that he hates immigrants.
That’s it.
Now, now. To his rich backers, it’s not the racism so much as maintaining the status quo of them not getting taxed.
he’s not the most ‘accurate’. He can just get people to agree with him. He says everything with 110% confidence. The thing is, he always needs an enemy so people don’t realize he’s an idiot. Anything pointing out hes not logical is “what the liberals want you to think”. He gets people against the Immigrants, the Haitians, etc.
So you’re telling me:
There’s a giant pipe that runs all the way from Canada to Los Angeles, with a massive valve that takes a day to turn. Its current configuration is set to dump all of that water into the Pacific. To solve the water crisis we merely need to spend a day to turn this massive valve, the size of that building behind you, the other way so that the water goes to Los Angeles instead?
Truly very stable genius stuff here.
Hes talking about the mile wide Columbia river, which meanders through Canada, Washington and Northern Oregon. At no point does it even get close to touching California, much less LA.
To do this would be one the most gigantic and intense infrastructure projects our country has ever undertaken, which would take decade’s at an unimaginable cost.
He lists this as “a big valve you just turn.” Absolute moron.
You give him way too much credit. I doubt he even knows the Columbia River exists. He just says random shit.
“And Canada will pay for it!”
Canada here. Sorry bruh, but we are all tapped out.
S’okay - if he says it’s going to happen, you can pretty much bet it won’t happen
I think that’s also pretty much universally true with all our politicians
Sort of true - trump takes it to a whole new level though.
He lists this as “a big valve you just turn.”
Even stupider than that he calls it a fucking faucet.
He’s got to be the most extreme example of Dunning-Kruger effect out there.
Thinks he’s a certified genius, meanwhile all his handlers have to break down concepts for him in such simplistic terms, he ends up literally thinking injecting bleach or putting powerful UV light inside the body are the solutions to COVID, or raking a forest is an actual solution to preventing widespread wildfires.
Seems like all the competent people went to finance and justifying war think tanks, and we are left with these type of clowns for politics

I don’t know how people can hear him say shit like this and respect his opinion on anything
They don’t believe “the liberal interpretation” of what he says. They “know” what he “means”.
It’s easier to understand if you have any experience around batshit evangelicals. A lot of Americans do, sadly.
Because they themselves are idiots. Either because they hear what he says and believe it, or because they only consume the propaganda that omits this word vomit entirely.
It’s got to be the latter. While I’m lucky that I don’t encounter people who worship at the altar of the orange weirdo, I’ve been wanting to ask them “have you ever listened to one of his speeches?” I don’t understand how you could listen to him and still support him, regardless of your political leaning
Yeah. Seems like listening to speeches and debates in their entirety, or a basic understanding of past actions, should be a prerequisite for anyone to hold a strong opinion for or against either side. But we know that’s not the case for the vast majority of people who hold very strong political opinions. And they’re also reliable voters.
I still don’t understand how we got here. My mom is a Botanist by education, with a graduate degree from a respected university. She lives in a small community right in the center or some of the most extreme wildfire risk in the country.
She brought up one day that if only her Governor would make sure the forests were raked up, the wildfires wouldn’t be a problem.
It’s so baffling.
Wow.
She’s not a fire fighter, so I can kind of understand her thinking that’s even remotely plausible or effective.
But as a botanist, she should absolutely know that the undergrowth needs that decaying leaf litter to support the complex ecosystem that keeps the soil fertile.
I wonder if he’s thinking about that diversion in Chicago that connects the great lakes to the Mississippi and thinks all rivers work that way.
Most of Trump’s brain is a neuron firing based on a thing he saw long ago that might be related to the topic in some way. The rest of the conversation is backfill to connect those dots to whatever the main topic is.
A single neuron… Are you sure? That seems like a lot given what we’ve seen and heard from him.
To be fair, the adderall and double dose of ephedrine is doing some of the work there.
Im pretty sure it’s a lot more straightforward than that. There are already pipelines bringing water from the mountains down to Southern California. If there’s a lot of excess water in mountains farther north, how different can that be?
