Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayPresident Donald Trump on Monday made a bonkers claim that “nobody knows” about magnets while bragging about his dealmaking abilities.
Trump — after being asked about Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) critique that he should focus more on domestic policy — made his way to talk of China restricting exports of processed rare-earth minerals and magnets, rules the country has reportedly eased since a deal between Trump and China’s Xi Jinping last month.
“If China refused to give magnets, ’cause they have a monopoly on magnets, ... there wouldn’t be a car made in the entire world, there wouldn’t be a radio, there wouldn’t be a television, there wouldn’t be internet, there wouldn’t be anything because magnets are such a part —,” the president began.
“Now, nobody knows what magnets are and not overly sophisticated but to build a magnet system would take two years.”
He proceeded to talk up his “unbelievable deal” that “made peace” with China.
Trump has previously signaled his confusion about how magnets function, telling supporters last year that dropping magnets in a glass of water would be the “end of the magnets.”
The president, in a Fox News interview that aired Monday night, repeated his claim about magnets.
Critics on X swiftly mocked Trump, including one who called out his “breathtaking stupidity” and several others who referred to a line about magnets from Insane Clown Posse’s song “Miracle” that is often used in memes.
"Nobody knows what magnets are" is the new "'groceries' is an old-fashioned word."

Magnets are to windmills, like sharks are to batteries
