In a recent Fox News interview focusing on the economy, the former President Donald Trump displayed a lack of understanding when he made perplexing statements about magnets, claiming that “nobody knows what a magnet is.” This assertion, disregarding basic scientific knowledge, drew attention for its unusual nature, as Trump suggested that tariffs could somehow ensure an abundant supply of magnets, almost as if negotiating with the North Pole.
This incident is not the first time Trump has made questionable remarks about scientific concepts. During a previous trip to Asia, he cautioned US Navy personnel about the dangers of spilling water on magnets, indicating a fundamental misunderstanding of the properties of magnets.
At 79 years old, Trump’s explanations of scientific phenomena often come across as rudimentary, akin to a person proudly discovering a simple object like a paperclip for the first time. In a separate incident, chaos ensued in Mississippi when a truck transporting research monkeys accidentally led to a false alarm about the primates being disease-ridden and aggressive. However, it was later revealed that the monkeys were not a threat but were being transferred for research purposes from Tulane University.
