Trump embarrasses himself with his ignorance yet again in call to Navy.

[Julian Englis]

Everyday he shows why he's the stupidest president ever. He makes Dan Quayle look brilliant.

Trump: “Steam is very reliable. Electromagnetic – unfortunately you have to be Albert Einstein to really work it properly...” Navy Officer: “Yes sir. You sort of have to be Albert Einstein to run the nuclear power plant that we have here as well, but we’re doing that very well.”

2. Just once...........

wouldn't you love to hear some person that has become a part of his dumb-ass photo ops look at him and say, "Sir, do you have ANY idea what the f**k you are talking about?"

[A HERETIC I AM]

16. The problem is, his answer would always be "I know more about this than he does"

He has said as much on multiple occasions. He is convinced he is the smartest person he knows and if you don't agree, you are a very low IQ individual.

His malignant narcissism knows no bounds.

[PatSeg]

22. "No one knows more about

nuclear than I do, believe me."

[3catwoman3]

60. Most people know the difference between an adjective...

...and a noun.

[PatSeg]

62. Hey

no one knows adjectives better than Trump. He also knows the best words.

[MarieG2]

75. IQ

Just listening to him lowers MY IQ... FFS, he sounds disabled...have you read transcripts of his interviews or “speeches”?!?! I don’t recommend it...it’s physically painful... NO disrespect to the disabled here, I realize the comparison is insulting to the truly disabled...

[Cha]

69. And, ask him what his latest LIE

is on Why he didn't go to Arlington Cemetery and to visit the Fallen Soldiers in France?

[Sneederbunk]

3. Did he wonder aloud about subs in the Rio Grande?

[burrowowl]

50. LOL!!!

Reminds me of a joy my sister would pull on newcomers about the submarine races at Bridge street over the Rio Grande!

[Me.]

4. Sigh

[RockRaven]

5. The Dotard isn't just ignorant, he's f*cking boring. Even his ignorance is tired and monotonous.

He babbled vapidly about steam vs electromagnetic catapults during the campaign. That was 2 years ago. Get some new material, you dope.

But it's the only thing he can think of to talk to a Navy person about, because it's the only thing he can apparently (mis)remember about the Navy. In 2 years as POTUS he hasn't come across anything else about the Navy -- even wacko conspiracy theories or the like -- which stuck in his brain.

[RKP5637]

9. The damn fool can't remember what he said 2 years ago. To him, it's brand new material. Hell, he

can't even complete an intelligent sentence.

[Power 2 the People]

31. +1

[libdem4life]

6. "Well, at least they're doing what they're doing"

It's Laugh/Cry time. Which one for this one????

[RKP5637]

7. The damn fool would probably like steam powered subs and lots of coal on board. n/t

[dixiegrrrrl]

36. He should have picked Romney for VP then.

Romney knows a lot about how navy should work.

[Turbineguy]

8. Trump does not embarrass himself.

Everything he says is wonderful. He's a stable genius. He doesn't embarrass his doltish supporters either. Ok, he embarrasses us, but we didn't vote for him.

[NurseJackie]

10. Oh brother! What a moron!

[lpbk2713]

11. "Well ... um ... keep the decks swabbed.

And weigh those anchors."

[TeamPooka]

32. "Do you guys still dance with cartoon mice?"

[dawg day]

12. Did you hear that inhale from the officer?

He's thinking, how can I put this without actually calling the CiC an idiot?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

13. Did he bring up his scientist uncle?

He always does that whenever he talks about “nuclear” because somehow he thinks it makes him sound like an authority.

[ooky]

14. I bet the people at Wharton school of Pa cringe

every time he mentions he is a graduate of their school.

Poor Wharton.

[watoos]

33. Actually he lies about that,

I would like to see his diploma because one of his professors actually called him the dumbest student he has ever had, but back to Wharton.. Trump claims he went to Wharton Business college when in fact I believe he only went to Wharton undergraduate college. Maybe someone can verify that?

[PJMcK]

45. You're correct

Trump's lie has always been that he got his MBA from Wharton and he was the top of his class.

In fact, he spent two years at Fordham, (an excellent school, of course), then he transferred to Penn where he finished his Bachelor's degree. While there, he took business classes at the Wharton school. When he graduated, he was not listed as having any honors whatsoever. He did not earn an MBA.

Trump lies.

He's an idiot.

[SMC22307]

59. Wharton "undergraduate college" is part of the business school.

Or at least I think it is. Dirty Don attended Fordham for two years then transferred to Wharton. I think he "managed" an undergrad degree but not an MBA... I gotta verify that.

[jmowreader]

63. There's only one Wharton

Wharton is the business school of the University of Pennsylvania. They award bachelor's, masters and doctoral degrees. Trump has a bachelor's. (Exactly how much of a degree do you need to become a landlord like Trump did?)

[ooky]

65. My belief is he had to cheat to get that.

I don't believe he has ever done anything honest in his life, and he doesn't appear to be smart enough to earn a bachelor's degree from anywhere, much less Wharton. Plus, he's too lazy to do it without cheating.

[dlk]

15. Good Grief - The President of the United States is as Dumb as a Box of Rocks!

[MyOwnPeace]

17. Dumber.................

rocks know to keep quiet.

[lark]

18. Woohoo, Navy guys slaps back hard and effectively at Cadet Bone Spurs!

[brush]

19. That was diplomatic wasn't it, while at the same time being slyly snarky.

I like that officer.

[Cha]

67. Yes, Well put!

[Nasruddin]

28. He'll be keelhauled

Next assignment: supervising the row boat flotilla in the Aleutian Islands

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. Does that nincompoop have any idea what "electromagnetic" means?

Of course not; that was a rhetorical question. But he's holding an electromagnetic device in his tiny hand. Speakers, hard drives, household appliances, motors, generators, doorbells, fucking garbage disposals have electromagnets in them. All of them work properly and you don't need to be Einstein to operate them. Maybe he's thinking of maglev technology? Like he thinks there are maglev ships or something?



Weapons-grade stupidity. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it.

[watoos]

34. Well, I'm still trying to understand covfefe.

[brush]

71. Certainly not in a president. We are so screwed until this bozo is out.

[SammyWinstonJack]

72. ROFL!

[spanone]

24. he knows more than all the admirals, of course

[SMC22307]

25. I'd like to think the Navy Officer hung up the phone muttering...

"what a fucking moron" and everyone in the room having a good laugh.

[mobeau69]

41. Like Germany at the UN

[SMC22307]

55. LOL Oh, right... how could I forget!

He actually showed some self-awareness, which was quite rare for the Narcissist-in-Chief. Of course, he spun it afterwards to save face, but he knew...

[Leghorn21]

47. No doubt, S! - Remember the meme about Comey's contemporaneous notes re: dumbfuck45?

I’ve repeated this line endlessly for the last three days...it’s all I got left!!! LORDY!!

[SMC22307]

56. LOL! Somehow I missed that one...

PERFECT.

[brewens]

26. The stupid may not actually burn, but that was hard to watch. n/t

[Eliot Rosewater]

27. The 50 MILLION Americans who support him are equally stupid

[world wide wally]

30. But that ain't enough to win elections!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

29. He didn't embarrass himself; he's impervious to embarrassment

because he thinks he's the smartest person in the world. He embarrasses his country on a daily basis, though.

[RHMerriman]

35. How to tell the alleged CinC he's an idiot with a smile...

How to tell the alleged CinC he's an idiot with a smile...

Stand, Navy, out to sea, Fight our battle cry;
We'll never change our course, So vicious foe steer shy-y-y-y.
Roll out the TNT, Anchors Aweigh. Sail on to victory
And sink their bones to Davy Jones, hooray!

Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh.
Farewell to college joys, we sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay.
Through our last night on shore, drink to the foam,
Until we meet once more. Here's wishing you a happy voyage home.

[Pepsidog]

37. Un-Fucking-Believable! We need a new word for dumb

[Pa-Kid]

39. We have one

TRUMP

[Pepsidog]

58. I like it

[SammyWinstonJack]

73. That's great!

[UniteFightBack]

38. When this muthafucka wakes up he embarrasses himself. What a freaking doozy that call was. FOOL. nt

[MustLoveBeagles]

40. Oh dear

Dumbass.

[CrispyQ]

42. He also thinks the F35 is invisible.

I'm embarrassed for the people that voted for this man. After being extremely pissed off at them, first, though.

[elmac]

43. we must remember, what we are seeing, is a 24/7 reality show

sponsored by corporate news networks, wall street, Koch, putin and the GOP

[greatauntoftriplets]

44. I'd say "shit for brains"...

but that would insult shit.

[Celerity]

61. lol

[Roland99]

46. And he did it over "trade deals" too!!

48. As a person with a PENN degree and Retired US Naval Officer ....

.... not to mention an American middle-aged white guy....he never fails to embarrass all Americans

[Solly Mack]

51. Someone gag the idiot.

[SKKY]

52. If that Officer told him that our Navy uses nuclear power to actually create steam...

...his face would probably blue screen. Dude is so far out of his element, I cringe every time he opens his pie hole.

[orangecrush]

53. ...

Please tell me this is a bad dream...

54. K and R.

[ProudLib72]

57. Silly Rump. Doesn't he know our Navy ships run on magic?!

[kskiska]

64. He's so stupid

he doesn't even know what DNA is or how a test is done.

[rppper]

66. I served on Submarines...all Nuclear...

I want to stress I wasn't a nuclear engineer nor am I Einstein...I was a Logistics guy. but we were required to know how a reactor works, and demonstrate a working knowlege on the parts required to keep it running, as I was responsible for all reactor repair parts for 3 boats....I've also been out for 20 years...

I have forgotten more about steam plants and electromagnets that that orange dumbass will ever know...

[Renew Deal]

68. I'm surprised he didn't recommend paddles

They are real easy to understand and think of all the jobs

[Demovictory9]

70. Idiot

74. Remember when your elementary teacher would say, "there are no stupid questions"?
