A great demonstration of Trump's science illiteracy. He takes being a climate change denier as a basis for denying meteorology in general: who needs weathermen?

Reposted from Aaron Rupar

Trump suggests that the fact it didn’t rain on his military parade is a refutation of climate change

Well, in his defense, I mean, to be fair, he’s an idiot.

jmax7.bsky.social•3 days ago

Notice how when the subject of climate change comes up he often pivots to “clean air and clean water”.

m3roadworx.bsky.social•3 days ago

A lot of Trump's lines could be copied straight into a comedy routine. "What is your view on climate change"? "It's a hoax. I mean, it didn't rain on my birthday!". Audience laughter.

amazecraze.bsky.social•3 days ago

He has a Sharpie. It really isn't that hard folks.

jl2285.bsky.social•3 days ago

Unfortunately (and dangerously) for us he’s not only science illiterate.

1) Don’t expect truth OR humor from Trump.

If he’s talking, he’s lying. 100%

Again with the Magical Thinking. 47 so needs help. SOS, someone please stop this insanity.

rodgilbert.bsky.social•3 days ago

The fact that it didn’t rain actually supports the idea of climate change. Since forecasts are probabilities based on historical patterns, that it didn’t rain says the patterns are becoming less probable because the climate is no longer the same as before.

Trump strong-arming to 🛑 climate litigation,🛑 #EPA regulating GHG emissions from pwr plants, ⬇️enviro stds for FF production, 🛑 climate research, crippled weather forecasting,
🛑$14B in #cleanenergy projects & 🛑clean energy tax credits.

You don’t need a Trumpian weatherman to know which way the wind blows!!

jancjan.bsky.social•3 days ago

Oh but it did. In a much better way.

mobiusrtc.bsky.social•3 days ago

His ignorance knows no bounds. And he’s proud of that.

ctrk2001.bsky.social•3 days ago

I love how he thinks is they predicted the weather for his bigly perade 200 years ago. 🍊💩🤡🤪🤪

thefool37.bsky.social•3 days ago

You don't need a Weatherman to know that Donald Trump blows

ryanmccune.bsky.social•3 days ago

The fact that I won the jackpot in Vegas refutes math.

gordonvincent.bsky.social•3 days ago

It's not a refutation of climate change. It's a refutation of god's existence.

splhcb.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes, he's an ignorant shitweasel. But he said it, the right-wing media amplifies it, and the masses believe it.

acupofsquids.bsky.social•3 days ago

The really galling thing is that along with being a threat to humanity's continued existence, the "weatherpeople are always wrong, amirite?" observation is one you'd get from the second opener at a mid-tier comedy club on a Wednesday night. It's truly embarrassing.

"Trump's science illiteracy." Why chose just science? His illiteracy is total, all-encompassing.

acinonnap.bsky.social•3 days ago

Still waiting for that cerebral hemorrhage.

acinonnap.bsky.social•3 days ago

Wouldn't be surprised if he's already had a couple

Those are rookie numbers!

Remember, this guy looked directly at an eclipse...and drew a fake hurricane path with a marker...

Leave out "science".

sladejl.bsky.social•3 days ago

Not only that, but isn't climate change making weather forecasts less accurate? So he has it all backwards.

goodtroublesince65.bsky.social•3 days ago

idiocy on steroids! I can't!

ggl25.bsky.social•3 days ago

Is there any illiteracy he doesn't have?

devoted-chicagoan.bsky.social•3 days ago

A distraction from the low numbers of his so-called parade.. crickets about low attendance from media

jerrywayne.bsky.social•3 days ago

An ignorant ass.

dktr.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'm surprised he didn't characterize it as divine intervention given his belief that he's such a faithful guy himself. I mean selling bibles and all.

And this is why:

readingwarrior.bsky.social•2 days ago

There may not have been precipitation at his event. But the No Kings protests definitely rained on his parade.

anewamy8.bsky.social•3 days ago

No rain, yet horrible attendance. 🤣

Dumbest man who ever lived.

gigilovesbooks.bsky.social•2 days ago

So stupid. Climate change signs include rising global & ocean temperatures, melting glaciers & sea ice, rising sea levels, changes in precipitation patterns, and increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. Additional indicators do Not include 1 forecasted rain event not happening🙄.

bobdunkin.bsky.social•3 days ago

His "100%" chance was from a week old forecast, and 7-day is usually off. As the days went on, it got smaller, and by the day of, it was ~50%. TBF - not a lot of people 'understand' well enough what the % actually means, or the area it covers. <10% chance of rain one day - ended up with 2"...
