TRUMP: "I support the Great Lakes. Always have. They are beautiful. They are big. Very deep. Record deepness, right?"

1. Why yes, Lake Baikal is very deep. The deepest!

[at140]

5. The great Lakes is the largest body of fresh water on earth

and were formed with the meltdown of glaciers after the last ice age.

2. Fuck you Drumpf, you Nazi. n/t

[mobeau69]

3. He called Schiff pencil neck in his vicious attack of lies.

And the MAGAts applauded. The bar is gone.

[tblue37]

24. Remember how shocked Americans were when GHW Bush called his opponents

Bozos? Everyone thought it was beneath the dignity of the office for him to stoop to such name calling.

And the expletives in Nixon's Watergate tapes shocked the public, too, even though they were not even uttered in public.

Talk about how Trump has defined deviancy downward!

[NewJeffCT]

43. I remember after his VP debate with Geraldine Ferraro

and he said he thought he kicked a little ass, it was also outrageous.

[tblue37]

44. Yep. nt

[rurallib]

4. Jump in and tweet us when you get to the bottom

the deepest bottom

[marble falls]

6. Especially Lake Erie with its average depth of 15'.

[bluecollar2]

11. I did not know that...

15' average depth...

Amazing.

Tks.

[marble falls]

31. Lake Erie is an old age lake trying to turn into a swamp.

[bluecollar2]

41. I learn so much on DU...n/t

[GoCubsGo]

33. I'm not sure where you got that information from, but it's not correct.

The average depth is around 62 feet, depending on the water levels, which fluctuate. The western basin averages around 25-30 feet, while the remainder is 60-80 feet on average.

[marble falls]

35. Its what I learned in school. Frankly though your numbers still make Erie pretty shallow ...

and Erie is still the shallowest Great Lake. Its still an old age lake and its still trying to devolve into a swamp.

Lake Superior - 489 ft / 149 m average 1,333 ft / 406 m maximum
Lake Michigan - 279 ft / 85 m average 923 ft / 281 m maximum
Lake Huron - 195 ft / 59 m average 750 ft / 229 m maximum
Lake Erie - 62 ft / 19 m average 210 ft / 64 m maximum
Lake Ontario - 283 ft / 86 m average 802 ft / 244 m maximum

From Wiki:

Lake Erie[5] (/ˈɪəri/; French: Lac Érié) is the fourth-largest lake (by surface area) of the five Great Lakes in North America, and the eleventh-largest globally if measured in terms of surface area.[1][6] It is the southernmost, shallowest, and smallest by volume of the Great Lakes[7][8] and therefore also has the shortest average water residence time. At its deepest point Lake Erie is 210 feet (64 metres) deep.

By area Erie is the 11th largest Lake, by depth it isn't in the top 40.

37. Oh, not arguing that it isn't shalllow.

It's just not THAT shallow. They would never have all that tanker and cargo traffic on it if it was. They'd bottom out. And, yes. All lakes tend to devolve into wetlands over time.

[marble falls]

38. Just arguing, eh?

[GoCubsGo]

40. Yes. I'm extra cranky today.

[java108]

42. Ha!

I was just coming here to comment that one could practically wade across Lake Erie, it's so shallow (in comparison to the other Great Lakes, anyway).

[Va Lefty]

7. What a complete utter moron

[YOHABLO]

8. He forgot to say that the Rockies were very high. Very large.

[3Hotdogs]

14. Record highness, I bet.

[Historic NY]

9. Name one Donald..

[SammyWinstonJack]

39. Ha! You just know he can't

[Judi Lynn]

10. Idiot! n/t

[Ilsa]

12. He "supports" the lakes?

What does that even mean?

He's an imbecile.

[JHB]

23. It means he should go jump into one...

...and stay there.

[Blue Owl]

13. Jesus Fucking Christ

The stupid... it buuuuurrrrnnnsss...

[groundloop]

15. I assumed this was from the Onion, until I watched the video

NOBODY can be so fucking stupid as to say that shit, yet Tiny does it time after time after time. He and the former half governor from Alaska would make some beautiful word-salad together .

[nolabear]

16. Naturally he's unfamiliar with the word "depth."

[ProudLib72]

17. Please let him go play in the street unsupervised

[DesertRat]

18. He also knows "a lot about wind"

Link to tweet

"If Hillary got in... you'd be doing wind. Windmills. Weeeee. And if it doesn't blow, you can forget about television for that night. 'Darling, I want to watch television.' 'I'm sorry! The wind isn't blowing.' I know a lot about wind."

[GreenEyedLefty]

36. I love the wind.

It reveals what a bloated, fake, ignorant buffoon Trump is.

We've all seen the clips.

Bring on the wind. Whee, indeed.

Superior-483/1336
Michigan-279/925
Huron-195/748

Ontario-283/804

[area51]

20. I don't think I believe you, Trump,

about how deep the lakes are; I want you to go out there and test them yourself.

[Dirty Socialist]

21. Pathological Liar

He cut environmental protection funding for the lakes by 90 percent.

[ProfessorGAC]

25. Forget Him

What about those drones cheering for that nonsense?

[Kurt V.]

28. +1

[dalton99a]

22. Goddamn asshole

[muriel_volestrangler]

26. Not even the deepest in the USA

https://geology.com/records/deepest-lake.shtml Crater Lake, Oregon 1,949 ft (deepest in North America: Great Slave Lake 2,015 ft)

Lake Superior 4th deepest in the USA: https://www.lakelubbers.com/usa-deepest-lakes-in-usa-L1-C3/ 1,332 ft

[DetlefK]

27. Wow. His dementia is showing.

He really has troubles forming coherent sentences.

[Aussie105]

29. It's not dementia.

Whatever it is, it's contagious.
People who see someone with dementia don't cheer, they go 'WTF????', but this lot does cheer.

Hmmm . . . like dementia, but contagious? Whatever word describes that best? Delusional? Total voluntary loss of any capacity for intellectual comprehension and logical thinking?

Danger to society! Lock them all up!

[MyOwnPeace]

30. LOCK US UP!

LOCK US UP!
LOCK US UP!
LOCK US UP!
LOCK US UP!
LOCK US UP!
LOCK US UP!

[Vinca]

32. I think they're wet, too. Big and deep . . . what a revelation to the world!

[superpatriotman]

34. Asking the wrong crowd

Grand Rapids is like Salt Lake City with beer and meth
