The man has obviously never served a day in military service!

Without evidence, he painted Air Force Gen. David Lyons as a proponent of his hardline immigration policies after Lyons said US troops are fighting in Afghanistan to prevent terrorists from reaching "our shores again."

"Large numbers of people are forming at our border and I don't even have to ask you, I know what you want to do, you want to make sure that you know who we're letting in. And we're not letting in anybody essentially because we want to be very, very careful," Trump said, speaking to Lyons over the phone. "You're right, you're doing it over there. We're doing it over here."
I'm sure our troops stationed in Afghanistan are happy to know their work is just like keeping a caravan of unarmed refugees from reaching our border! :eyeroll:

Nice try, Trumpelstiltskin. US National average gas prices are actually higher than they were this time last year. Not much higher, mind you, but gas prices have certainly not dropped due to any effort on your part.
Actually, they did drop, due to Trump lying about Iran. He threatened to block all oil sales from Iran. So Saudi Arabia, Russia, the United States, and others ramped up production to compensate. The recently they granted waivers to half a dozen large countries to still buy oil from Iran, so now there is a glut on the market. Prices are falling like a rock, from $76 per barrel at the start of October to $54 currently. Energy stocks are in the toilet, and the whole stock market has dropped about 10% as a result. If oil prices stay low, many people in the energy industry will be out of work. It doesn't pay to drill for oil when the drilling costs are higher than what you can sell it for.

Actually thanks to the Cocaine Import Agency - CIA - the Opium fields in Afghanistan are just growing like crazy.

Less sarcastically: since America went into Afghanistan, the Opium production there has reached several all-time highs, going for record after record.

Probably the most important reason for the continued stay: literally million tons of suspected resources of minerals. American geologists think the combined value of lithium, gold, copper, cobalt, iron and rare earths is over 1 trillion US$, and possibly making Afghanistan the biggest exporter of Lithium world wide, if mined properly.

Maybe I should post this in Health, Science and Tech...

Siri thinks Donald Trump is a penis
Given the statements about him and toad it may not be someone editing the page, it could be a quirk of the algorithm.

Then again, something like that would have shown other issues before now so yeah, I will go with page edits. Someone can just look at the page history to see what is going on.

If you're ever in doubt about technological issues, just ask Mr Trump. :rolleyes:

Trump questions technology central to Pentagon’s plans for launching aircraft at sea

In a call to service members on Thursday marking the Thanksgiving holiday, Trump asked the commander of the USS Ronald Reagan, a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier deployed in the Pacific, whether he supported using electromagnetics rather than the traditional steam system to catapult aircraft off carrier decks and land them safely back on board.


“Steam is very reliable, and the electromagnetic — I mean, unfortunately, you have to be Albert Einstein to really work it properly,” Trump said. “What would you do?”


Trump has repeatedly criticized General Atomics’ Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS), installed on the Navy’s newest carrier and slated to be used on other new ships. The debut of that system, the culmination of years of testing and development, has been plagued by delays and technical problems.


Capt. Pat Hannifin, articulating the Navy’s view, responded by telling Trump that EMALS would lessen the burden that steam-powered systems exact on carriers and was within sailors’ power to operate successfully.


“You sort of have to be Albert Einstein to run the nuclear power plants that we have here as well, but we’re doing that very well,” Hannifin said.

You know Trump Tower, where you used to live? Con Ed has nuclear reactors, that make steam, which turn electromagnetic generators to send power to it. But you only have to flip a switch to turn on a light at home. An electromagnetic catapult is activated by flipping a switch. Even you could do it.

Found a book you might want to pick up: Talking Donald Trump A Sociolinguistic Study of Style, Metadiscourse, and Political Identity, 1st Edition, by Jennifer Sclafani, an Associate Teaching Professor of Linguistics at Georgetown University.

Talking Donald Trump examines the language of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign from the perspective of sociocultural linguistics. This book offers an insight into the many stages of Trump’s political career, from his initial campaign for the Republican nomination, up to his presidency. Drawing from speeches, debates, and interviews, as well as parodies and public reactions to his language, Sclafani explores how Trump’s language has produced such polarized reactions among the electorate. In analysing the linguistic construction of Donald Trump’s political identity, Sclafani’s incisive study sheds light on the discursive construction of political identity and the conflicting language ideologies associated with the discourse of leadership in modern US society. Talking Donald Trump provides a crucial contemporary example of the interaction between sociolinguistics and political science, and is key reading for advanced students and researchers in the fields of sociolinguistics, language and politics, communication studies and rhetoric.

He probably misheard it as emails and ranted against it based on that. His personality disorder would not let him admit the mistake. Or if he did that he was not the world expert in whatever topic was being discussed.

He's playing dumb on purpose again, to keep his even dumber voters, who e.g. believe in creationism and wanted to get the theory of evolution out of schools, happy - finally one of us!

And never give Trump some old peanut butter, he fears it.

Translated into Trumpspeak:

This book says I have the best words, but you all knew that! So obvious! Bing bing bing!

Don't underestimate the ignorance of basic science that many people, not just the narcissist in chief, have.
