Trump seems to think Thomas Edison is alive, and an American invented the wheel

Trump Seems to Think an American Invented the Wheel
THE MORE YOU KNOW?
“We have to protect all of these people that came up with originally the light bulb and the wheel and all of these things and he’s one of our very smart people,” Trump told CNBC.

Expressing awe over the fact that Musk’s rockets don’t have wings, Trump explained that the United States needs to “protect our geniuses” like Musk.

“We have to protect Thomas Edison—we have to protect all of these people that came up with originally the light bulb, and the wheel, and all of these things, and he’s one of our very smart people,” Trump added. “We want to cherish those people. That’s very important. He’s done a very good job.”

1. To be kind

He's an idiot

[The Genealogist]

2. Bizzare gibble gabble as usual

Cherish Thomas Edison? I Don't know, respect his contributions, but not cherish him. Either he needs to up or lower his meds, this dose isn't working for him.

[Bob Loblaw]

3. Cherish the cabin

Honor Thomas Edison and the guy that invented the wheel (some guy named Wheeler).

[Ilsa]

4. That guy that discovered how to find fire is pretty cool, too.

Trump is so simpleminded, even a caveman is a contemporary.

5. repugs hate smart people

The elites

[Scarsdale]

6. That explains why their party

is full of low I.Q. family members of previous fools from the gop. Gaetz comes to mind. Gym Jordan is not exactly "smart", Rand Paul makes an ass of himself every time he opens his mouth. Devin Nunes looks like a deer caught in the headlights. He is shocked he got caught running to the WH with notes of the days meetings of the intelligence committee. To some of these people tRump is a JENIUS, just like his middle name! Most of the gop members qualify to be "Space Cadets" in tRump's new (money wasting) space force.

8. yes

7. I hear that Fredrick Douglas is becoming more popular, too.

Trump’s brain is barely functioning enough for him to speak, but it doesn’t function well enough for his speech to make sense. He has been worse lately, so the logical question is whether he had a stroke when he was taken to Walter Reed a couple of months ago.

18. Walter Reed attended to him personally.

And his views of Douglass inspired my avatar.

9. Sometimes I think it a deliberate use of confusion for political ends

because they could never get what he's done from a coherent politician

[wnylib]

23. Bingo. Not so much for Trump being

deliberately incoherent. I believe that is natural.

But R's clung to him for exactly the reason you gave. They could not achieve the same things with a coherent politician.

Raygun was a foggy-brained hit with the people who achieved great things for the 1% with his trickle on economics.

Bush the Elder was a coherent one-termer, even after a successful war.

So they turned to blathering Bush the Younger for popular appeal, more 1%er tax breaks, more privatization of public services, and more ME wars engineered by daddy's old advisors.

After 8 years of sanity and good leadership, they were at a loss for a winning candidate until another village idiot came forward to carry the banner primarily for himself, but acceptable for their agenda.

And for both Bush II and Trump, they still could not win without cheating.

10. And here we thought Sarah Pallin had mastered the art of the word salad. n/t

[gademocrat7]

11. His stupidity is embarrassing and dangerous.

[SergeStorms]

12. I just saw this on 'Morning Joe'.

Incredible. He always talks down to people, like he's the world's greatest authority on everything, when in actuality he's the world's biggest moron. He is, without question, the most excruciatingly embarrassing buffoon in the United States of America.

[Botany]

13. Please he was only off 5,500 years

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/a-salute-to-the-wheel-31805121/

Evidence indicates the wheel was created to serve as potter's wheels around 3500 B.C. in Mesopotamia—300 years before they were used for chariots. (Jim Vecchi / Corbis)

[SergeStorms]

24. 5,500 years.....

in Trump time is slightly over 350,000,000 years in human being time. Each minute we have to endure Donald Trump is roughly equal to 7.25 years of human life, or at least it seems that way.

14. Musk was born in South Africa

[rpannier]

17. But he's white

That's probably what il douche means by our people

[IronLionZion]

19. White immigrants are considered Americans

while brown Americans born in America will forever be immigrant job stealers who need to leave this country.

[johnnyfins]

15. Um, what exactly do we have to protect "these people" from?

Musk seems to be doing quite alright. WTF is Trumpo talking about? The light bulb, originally?

[djacq]

16. Outrageous Claim;

21. Quick!

The armed branch of the GOP followers need to find Thomas Edison and the inventor of the wheel, and form a protective ring around them!
They need to be cherished and protected! The Dem Deep State is sure to want to do them harm!

And don't forget that guy with the kite, who invented lightning. And that honest boy who invented the axe and chopped down that cherry tree! All potential Deep State targets!

Better put Colonel Sanders and Mickey Mouse in that protective circle too. And Donald Duck. All American heroes! You can never be too careful!

/Intentional sarcasm is intentional.
