    Magnets definitely still work when wet… 🤨 Also what that fuck does John Deere have to do with wet magnets lmao

      He was speaking in Iowa but maybe he thought he was in Illinois, where John Deere is located. Or it could be he knew he was in Iowa and someone informed him that Iowa is a farming state…they may or may not understand magnets but they’re probably really up to date on John Deere.

      TLDR: he’s an important IGNORANT nut case talking to his poorly educated base and he’s trying to suck up.

      To be clear, I don’t think farmers are poorly educated, but I do think his base (including farmers) is. He’s trying to speak their language.

      It’s his typical rambling.

      He was originally talking about an aircraft carrier that uses a magnetic elevator lift for the planes rather than hydraulic like a traditional elevator.

      Then as usual he kinda lost his train of thought and ranted about nonsense. The connection was that many John Deere tractors have hydraulics.
