Trump’s Rambling Explanation of Water to Navy Raises Concerns
During a recent address aboard the USS George Washington in Japan, the president expressed his misunderstanding of magnet technology, particularly in relation to aircraft carrier systems. He claimed water could disable magnets, a concept he has voiced for at least 18 months. The president vowed to issue an executive order to revert to steam catapults and hydraulic elevators. This anti-magnet sentiment was also linked to concerns about China’s supposed dominance in the global magnet market, despite the historical use of magnets in ancient China.
