We really need to mark if Trump memes are real or made up. I hadn't heard that he said this, but I can totally believe it. I just don't have time to fact check every meme to know if I should be laughing or terrified that there's a potential or former leader who believes stuff like this.

Granted, both options are valid with Trump.

Oh, he's making a metaphor.

I kept scrolling in Lemmy, saw a post in politics talking about it, but thanks. I can't say I'm surprised, but I'm amazed that people are willing to vote for someone so obviously stupid. I understand there's a certain element of anti-intellectualism, but this is gradeschool knowledge we're talking about.
