Trump Calls for ‘Giant Dome’ to Protect the US ‘From a Hostile Source’
Donald Trump said during a rally on Saturday he intends to build a 'giant dome' around the U.S. to protect it from a 'hostile source'
You're viewing a single thread.
Trump criticized sending "billions of dollars out of the countries so they can build a dome, but we don’t have a dome ourselves."
"We’re going to have the greatest dome ever," he continued.
It astounds me that anyone is willing to vote for someone this stupid. It's not an act. He is legitimately stupid. That's been on full display this past fucking decade.
We will build a dome that covers the entire 3.5 million square miles of the United States of America, and Mexico is gonna pay for it. This will also solve Climate Change for America, except that it is a liberal hoax anyway.
I just want to know when we’re going to implement his plan to nuke hurricanes?
The answer is always Two Weeks.
Correct. Bonus points for gesturing vaguely to lots of binders full of blank paper.
I’m gonna guess that what he’s attempting to refer to here is the Iron Dome system of Israeli fame.
We already have anti-ballistic missile systems:
- the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense system is exactly what it sounds like
- Aegis, Patriot, and THAAD are all short-range, terminal phase anti-ballistic-capable systems.
Also, to be clear, it would be a very bad idea for the US to pursue an expansion of the GMD system to be “impermeable” to a peer state, because not only would it be cripplingly expensive (even in the context of US military budgets), but it would also diminish the disincentive of doing a nuclear first strike (which would obviously lead directly to an intercontinental nuclear war), and you can guess who would want to do something like that.
Joke's on you, in the time it took you to write out this informed rebuttal he's already moved on to wet magnets.
What is a wet magnet?
Try to keep up with the gish gallop:

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.
The four-times-indicted former president polarized with this line: “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.”
I thought you were joking, but then a couple posts down was an article about his wet magnet comments. Unbefuckinglievable.
Slop 'em up
What? You think Israel's dome is better than ours? Theirs isn't even a real dome its just missiles! We're gonna put a real American dome around our country!
I'm certain this is like his "invisible jets" stuff he is always spewing about, where someone demonstrated our military being able to protect the US from outside missile attacks by showing him a picture with a "dome" over the US to illustrate how it would be all covered or something. And since he isn't all there these days he thinks of it as a literal "dome", just like the jets are actually invisible (not just to radar).
Edit - ha even dumber! I see someone mentioned the Iron Dome over Israel as probably what he is trying to convey in his word salad.
Holy shit.
Not just stupid - he’s legitimately demented and an obvious sociopath. The fact that he literally smells like shit and ketchup is just that soupçon of chef’s kiss that makes him the pinnacle of the republiQan party.
Well done republiQans. No wonder you’re so goddamned proud.
/nottheonion ?
America might not have started the dome race, but by jingo it's gonna end it!
