“Now they want to go to all-electric cars. They don’t go far. They cost a lot of money. They got a little, they got some basic problems. They very expensive and they don’t go far. I think they want to keep you somewhere around your home. They don’t wanna build highways or sumthin’. They got some crazy plan. They always have something,” Donald Trump muses like a stand-up comic who forgets the segue to his next bit. “You know, they wanna build, I don’t know if you know, all-electric army tanks. We have these army tanks–no, I just, ah, saw this, ahhh, yesterday. They wanna build all-electric army tanks. The army tanks, the greatest tanks, the Sherman tank, the greatest tanks in the world we build. So now when we go in to obliterate a country with our army tanks, at least we won’t pollute it with the pollutants pouring out of the bank of the tank.”
Well, besides referring to the Sherman tank, which the US hasn’t used since 1957, as the greatest tank in the world–thereby proving most definitely that Trump did, obviously, rebuild the military because he knows more than the generals–Trump fucked up again. He’s apparently referring to a Rand Corp report released in August which noted that the military is expanding its fleet of electric vehicles to use for support and non-combat functions; the report specifically states the military is not pursuing electric tanks. But again: … more than the generals.
