Because he's deaf and can't read. He got a hurricane briefing once and tried to correct the drawing with his personal hopes and dreams. That was the last time they gave him a hurricane brief.
People who support this dude are weird for not seeing he's not fit for office. He should step down and let someone younger go, like Biden did. He has way too much ego to admit he lost an election, nevermind stepping down, but it would be the play
Him being unfit for office has little to do with his age, to be clear.
Oh cool, another unenforced law.
Add this to the list
Pepridge Farm remembers this. He used a Sharpie, and wanted to detonate a nuclear bomb on American soil.
Well I don't think that's the real problem here - if you could nuke a hurricane out of existence, it would be a feasible option. The area of effect of a nuke is a lot smaller than media has led us to believe, and if you detonate it at the right height there's not much fallout. It's a totally reasonable option... If it worked
The problem is, it wouldn't work. For any competent president, this was just a bit of brainstorming. It's creative out of the box thinking, I bet previous presidents have asked the same thing
And that's the problem. The conversation should've gone "can we nuke the hurricane? Have we looked into that?" "Yes Mr President, we've looked into it and it just doesn't math out". And then they continue on with disaster preparations like a sane person
The problem is: why did we even hear about this? Even the most harsh critics couldn't make brainstorming look bad, throwing out any idea that pops into your head is the point.
But he had a creative idea, and where most people would feel a moment of disappointment and move on, or maybe even task people to reevaluate the option, he bragged about it in public. He turned "the science doesn't work" into "they wouldn't let me"
And honestly, it's probably one of the best ideas he's ever had..."if sunlight kills the virus, can we use that?", "if bleach kills the virus, could we inject bleach?" - it shows like understanding of biology, but a president doesn't need to know biology. They just need to hear "this wouldn't work" from someone who understands the science, and move on
But the damaged little snowflake he is, he doesn't let go of the weirdest of ideas, because they made him feel smart for a moment and he's deeply insecure. He brags about his brainstorming sessions, which is weird, and then he presents his ideas in public as "they wouldn't let me" instead of "this was a neat idea, but unfortunately it wouldn't work"
And that's far more disturbing. Having a creative idea is good, having it turn out to be impractical is fine, but holding onto it and pitching it to the public is deeply worrying
You'd think he'd remember given he blocked aid to Puerto Rico after Maria – a Category 5 hurricane.
He just remembers throwing paper towels at the people from that country of Puerto Rico
Well perhaps the president of Puerto Rico ought to have done something about that.
He also flew to the Panama City Beach area after Hurricane Michael in 2018 (Category 5, I was working there at the time) and Trump only wanted to hang out with the GOP Mayor charged with felonies charges for misuse and stealing hurricane relief funds. (Lynn Haven). She just finished court cases... 1 month prison
What? How can you forget after the whole sharpie thing? That was kind of hilarious. Just draw an arrow on map and redirect Milton towards some immigrants or something buddy. Your succubus hag seems to think weather control is possible and you think highly of your own abilities - give it a try!
He wasn't aiming the hurricane, he was trying to make himself retroactively correct because he didn't know the states names.
The best part about the "they control the weather" theory is that they are posting an old military patent on social media. What's funny about it is that, American patent law being what it is, even if it was real it would prove nothing. I could file a patent for a working dragon; that doesn't mean I have access to a fucking dragon. It just means I have ownership of any dragons that work like the patent I submitted. A patent is only to show ownership of an idea and nothing more.
With military patents, it basically has to reach the "there is absolutely not a snowball's chance in hell this will work and you're only going to use this to con people" level to be denied a patent, and even then...

Idk, maybe we're sleeping on him just being stupid.
Lil bit of both I imagine. Probably a lotta bit of both.
We've always known he's stupid, but he probably has dementia too.
Having heard the man talk, it really does sound like cognitive decline, especially compared to older recordings of him.

I want my Leader to be PROUD of his Lack of 5th Grade Education Level!
wipe tear from your eye
I should give myself a cheat day and do the things internally that would allow me to be a trump supporter. I'm not sure what that is. I guess allow myself some racism, sexism, somehow christianity, selfishness, full confidence in any thought that goes through my head. I'm getting nauseous thinking about it.
Edit: Like what about Christiany jives with this guy? I know it's probably something you had to grow up with to understand. I did grow up in a Christian family though. Probably werent religious enough? Seriously, thinking about this stuff makes me so uncomfortable. Like you want to punch 10000 people immediately but know that's impossible.
It's not the Christianity people like, it is the racism. Christianity is just a cover up
You can hurt yourself trying. You might have already, I know I've done it.
His simple framework of "if it's a bad thing, it's 10x worse now vs the past so you need me in charge" that he has used forever (including 'American Carnage" in his acceptance speech) really fails when it comes to weather.
First, no normal human is blaming the Biden admin for the strength of hurricanes these days.
Second, if hurricanes are getting worse that implies climate change is real and we need a Democrat in charge to try to stop it.
It's a goddamn tragedy that a plan that stupid actually works on so many people.
First, no normal human is blaming the Biden admin for the strength of hurricanes these days.
glances at Biden's Senatorial record on climate change
I am. All those windmills built, and they can't even put them to use to push back against the storm? I mean what was the point gahd
People who support Trump post things Trump said. People who support Harris post things Trump said.
You're not wrong, but that's no reason to stop calling trunk on his shit.
Of course, it just reminded me a little of the "a vote for Bart is a vote for anarchy" gag.
Trump says that every time. Clip from Kimmel.
I knew he said it before... but 5 times?! lmao he is truly a sad ridiculous man
He's so dumb.
From the stand point of water
Is this hurricane also one of the wettest?
At least a concept of what people are calling "water"
the vacuum between his ears is almost as strong as the field of a black hole
On the inside of his head his speeches are concise and coherent. Unfortunately they get spaghettified as they travel across the interdimensional gap between Trump Land™ and the rest of the universe.
When was that video originally taken? Was this during his presidency? I remember him asking why we couldn't nuke hurricanes but I don't remember him saying he's never heard of a category 5 hurricane lol.
He's LARPing president.
Go home, you're senile!
