Yeah. What 45 said is technically a true statement... If it was said by a geek or a programmer. With him it's always surface level.
No. I'm context he was saying immigrants must be smart for using apps to cross the border because almost no one knows what an app is.
Watch the video. He belongs in a home.
I mean I'm all for beliving that humans are smart by default, but that is incorrect.
He would if he wasn't a felon. He belongs in jail.

The context always makes him look worse. This guy has advanced dementia and it is getting worse by the day.
I feel like a vote for trump is really a vote for Vance. Idk which is worse.
The public hates Vance even more than Trump so when they talk about voting for Trump people should remind them that Trump may die in office and then Vance would be their president.
Somehow, the scrutiny applied to Palin due to McCain's advanced age hasn't applied to Vance despite Trump being nearly a decade older than McCain was when he ran.
But how does it even make sense? I would have said I was 99% confident he used two apps all the time over the years. First, ex-Twitter, and now his own social-network-which-shall-not-be-named.

Those aren’t ‘apps’ to him – they’re pictures he presses on his phone that let him do something.
My theory: he was recently in a conversation with someone about an app he doesn’t use, and they had to explain the concept to him. They probably complimented him when he seemed to understand enough, since he’s surrounded exclusively by sycophants, so in his mind he’s proud to be smarter than most people about this.
We’ve seen this exact scenario play out before. He’s so predictable.
I know a few older people who have smartphones, and while they can use things like Twitter or Facebook on the phone, if you told them that you were installing an app, they wouldn't know what you meant.
They're the type of people who were never interested in computers, and used them as appliances, possibly never needing to install things themselves. As they moved to phones, they either get their kids or the shop to set them up.
They understand using Twitter on the phone, but don't really understand the concept of how it works.
That sounds like most people around me, regardless of age.
