Trump seems to believe the wheel was invented in the United States: "We have to protect all of these people that came up with, originally, the light bulb and the wheel and all of these things."

1. We have to protect the wheel?

Words fail me.

[Wounded Bear]

2. IIRC, Europeans brought the wheel to the Americas along with the horse...

What? Trump spouted bullshit because he has no basic knowledge about the world?

Who'd a thunk?

17. The Aztecs had the wheel but they just used it

on toys. They traveled around on boats in their canals so they never used the idea for more than toys.

3. "He does good at rockets"?

Sounds like something from a 4th grader essay.

7. Yes it does...............

because that's about the level of intelligence he continually displays.

10. After three years,

it still amazes me that such a person could convince over 60 million people that he could be president of the United States. My five year old grandsons have a better vocabulary than him.

11. I'm sure they do!

Listen to him. Seriously, I know it hurts, but just LISTEN to him talk.
It sounds like he's sitting at the lunch table with his buddies in Middle School.

13. And even those "buddies"

haven't got a clue what he's trying to say.

4. Another sign of Russian influence

5. Lol, why protect the wheel?

[yellowcanine]

6. Native Americans had the wheel?

Who knew?

[MyOwnPeace]

8. That would mean..........

Pocahantas and her family were involved!

Oh, wait - he'd NEVER admit to that!

[Brother Buzz]

14. Apparently Joseph Smith knew

The Book of Mormon contains two accounts of "chariots" being used in the New World.

And never mind there's no archaeological evidence to support the use of wheeled vehicles in Mesoamerica, they just haven't found it yet.

15. Some Mexican cultures had small wheeled toys

Prior to European contact. The concept existed, they just didn't have the draught animals to make practical use of them.

9. Is Elon Musk Korean?

Is trump confusing him with his penpal the rocket man?

[TheBlackAdder]

12. Now I know Ben Hur was nothing but fantasy. They never had chariot races!

16. The Humiliator-in-Chief

Doing what he does best: shining his ignorance around the world and making all Americans look like fools.

Make it Stop!!

18. Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs are fake? 😂

[Initech]

19. The wheel was invented in America, airports were in the revolutionary war....

There was a Bowling Green Massacre... Either Trump has a bad case of dementia or he slept through every history class he's ever taken.

20. another quid pro quo...he's going to be building a great big plant in USA . He has to because we

helped him so he has to help us
