All I know about magnets is this, give me a glass of water, let me drop it on the magnets, that’s the end of the magnets
MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell called Trump’s comment “relentlessly stupid.”
Donald Trump’s weird campaign rally tangent about magnets attracted mockery on social media.
The Republican 2024 front-runner on Friday complained to a crowd of supporters in Mason City, Iowa, about electric catapults and magnetic elevator systems for U.S. aircraft carriers.

“So then let me ask you a question — catapult — right, the catapult system. Do you like electric or steam?” Trump said while calling for an audience voice vote during his roughly 20-minute address in Yokosuka, Japan.
The president treated his appearance on board the Wasp as a Memorial Day event because it still was Monday in the United States, but Trump’s address conveyed the same pro-steam theme he’s sounded since early 2017, when he entered the White House.
In May and September of 2017, Trump blasted EMALS while encouraging the Navy to return to using “goddamned steam," a bugaboo he repeated during a 2018 Thanksgiving call with the troops.
