Donald Trump says that “no one knows what magnets are” during a strange Oval Office press conference. During the swearing in of a new ambassador to India on Monday (10 November), the President launched into a rant about China, whilst discussing their recent agreement to start easing rare earth export rules. “China was going to hit us with rare-earth. Now, everybody says, ‘Oh, what does that mean?’ Magnets. If China refused to give magnets, because they have a monopoly on magnets… there wouldn’t be a car made in the entire world.” He then claimed that “nobody knows what magnets are”, before going on to praise the “great deal” the two nations made in October. Whilst the talks did not end in a formal agreement, Mr Trump agreed to reduce tariffs on some Chinese goods entering the US, whilst Beijing agreed to suspend export control measures it had placed on rare earths.
Do you mean the same Donald J Trump who was convicted of Sexually Assaulting E. Jean Carroll?
Because if so, that’s almost like being a Serial Rapist. I’d say raping someone is just about as bad as murdering them, wouldn’t you agree? Totally unrelated, just a random curiosity.
Oh, most definitely. I’d say rape could be actually worse than murder. The murdered person is dead. The raped person is still alive and has to deal with the trauma.
