Donald Trump’s bizarre marketing campaign rally tangent about magnets attracted mockery on social media.

The Republican 2024 front-runner on Friday complained to a crowd of supporters in Mason City, Iowa, about electrical catapults and magnetic elevator techniques for U.S. plane carriers.

The four-times-indicted former president polarized with this line: “All I know about magnets is this, give me a glass of water, let me drop it on the magnets, that’s the end of the magnets.”

On X (née Twitter), a video that was shared of Trump’s remark was fact-checked with a neighborhood be aware.

“Magnets work underwater and are not affected by water. Magnetic fields are not the same as electrical circuits,” learn the reader-contributed context.

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell referred to as Trump’s remark “relentlessly stupid.”
