It’s safe to say that nobody looks for intellectual repartee from Donald Trump. A word salad of angry invective from a brain that appears to live in a parallel universe, sure, but a fully-formed and knowledgeable opinion? That’s uh, not his thing.
But, even by Trump standards, his continued insistence that stealth fighter jets are actually invisible to the naked eye is utterly baffling. In 2017, he said the jets were useful because “it wins every time because the enemy cannot see it, even if it’s right next to it, it can’t see it.” and later “You literally can’t see it. It’s hard to fight a plane you can’t see.“
In a conversation with a Lockheed Martin executive, he said, “She makes a plane you can’t see. It’s Stealth. F35. I hope you can’t see it at least, right? You cannot see it.“
Seven years later, and apparently, Trump still believes that stealth jets can actually become invisible. Speaking at a Hanukkah reception, he blathered:
Trump: "The only time anybody could see those planes was when those bomb chutes open up, because it becomes totally un-stealth. You're going in, you go like this. And as soon as it goes like this, for some reason the plane is totally visible. Not good. And I watched it happening.… pic.twitter.com/veD5jjF3TK

“The only time anybody could see those planes was when those bomb chutes open up, because it becomes totally un-stealth. When it goes.. I explain.. uh, Mark Levin once.. You’re going in, you go like this. And as soon as it goes like this, for some reason the plane is totally visible. Not good.
And I watched it happening. Just, it’s like I’m sitting I’m watching it’s amazing. The situation room is an amazing place. But I watched it go bing bing. It went bing bing! And two massive 100,000lb bombs come pouring out and the job they did was incredible.”
These are the ravings of an idiot. If you heard this from a guy in a bar, it’d be accompanied by muffled giggles from the rest of the barflies that Ol’ Donny (who once got kicked in the head by a horse) is back on his BS once again.
Also, not that it really needs underlining, but stealth jets are not invisible, and the U.S. military does not have a bomb that weighs anything close to 100,000lb (the MOAB weighs ‘just’ 21,600lb).
Imagine clapping for this
Anyhow, the sentient heap of garbage continued:
“I mean compare that to, I mean.. I look I thought he was a nice man but compare that to the Jimmy Carter attack on… *mumble* that was not good. With the helicopters and the men running all over the place trying to get the hell out of there and this was not good. This was the single greatest military attack that anyone’s ever seen.”
Ordinarily, we’d cap this off by worrying that Trump holds the future of humanity in his hands every minute of every day. He can personally decide to unleash nuclear armageddon upon humanity via the “nuclear football”. But, frankly, Trump is so utterly incompetent I’m sure he’d somehow manage to screw up pressing the big red button, too.
