McParadigm wrote:Watching Donald Trump use his Thanksgiving military conference call to try and coax a naval commander into admitting that STEAM is better than modern technology was a fucking bonkers way to start the day.

Asked what he was most thankful for on this Thanksgiving Day - a question that for commanders in chief usually prompts praise of service members in harm's way - Trump delivered a singularly Trumpian answer.

"I made a tremendous difference in our country," he said, citing himself.

A Navy commander in Bahrain, a US ally, became the foil to discuss trade.

"As you know, trade for me is a very big subject," Trump said, adding the United States was getting ripped off.

"We don't have any good trade deals," Trump complained.

The commander seemed confused and told the president of abundant goods being carried across nearby waters. "We don't see any issues in terms of trade right now," the officer said.

The president complained at length that a new Navy ship was using electromagnetic catapults to propel ships off boats. In his mind, Trump said, steam was far better - and he was incredulous the military would consider otherwise.

"Would you go with steam or would you go with electromagnetic? Because steam is very reliable, and the electromagnetic, unfortunately, you have to be Albert Einstein to really work it properly," Trump asked.

"You have to be Albert Einstein to run the nuclear power plants that we have here, as well. But we're doing that very well. I would go, sir, with electromagnetic," the officer responded.
