(Starts at 3:10 in the above video) “We have these great army tanks that can blast the hell out of anything.. They want to make them all electric now, so that when we go into enemy territory, guns ablazing, knocking the hell out of everything in front, we’re doing it in an environmentally friendly way.” – Donald Trump, Oct 4, 2023, campaign rally in Ottumwa, Iowa.
As Joe Rogan likes to point out, Trump has excellent standup comedy. We’ve seen how effective mockery can be as a political weapon, used by opponents to neutralize the other. Sarah Palin was mocked for her accent, Trump was mocked for being orange, and there are countless examples of similar mudslinging tactics.
In this clip, Trump is pointing out the folly of the “green new deal” crowd, by pointing out the juxtaposition between saving the environment through electric tanks and the destruction inherently caused by explosive weaponry. Underneath it all is the point that these wokeoids don’t care that electric tanks would reduce our military’s effectiveness and put us in harms way, but they don’t care. Of course, in all reality, the left won’t win this one, thankfully.
