In a recent interview on Fox News focused on the economy, former President Donald Trump showcased his confusion about the concept of magnets. Trump went on a bizarre tangent, asserting that “nobody knows what a magnet is,” seemingly disregarding the basic scientific knowledge possessed by children with science kits.
During the interview, Trump made outlandish claims that tariffs would somehow ensure an unlimited supply of magnets, as if negotiating with the mythical North Pole. This is not the first instance of Trump’s unusual behavior regarding science. Previously, during an Asia tour, he cautioned US Navy personnel about the dangers of spilling water on magnets, displaying a misguided belief in their mystical properties.
At 79 years old, Trump continues to discuss scientific topics in a manner reminiscent of someone discovering a simple object for the first time. Meanwhile, chaos unfolded in Mississippi when a truck carrying research monkeys escaped, leading deputies to mistakenly believe the primates were super-primates carrying infectious diseases. Subsequent investigations revealed that the monkeys were not a threat and were being transported for research purposes from Tulane University.
In a separate incident, the Guelph police in Canada are searching for a thief who stole an entire trailer filled with £43,000 worth of whipped cream. Surveillance footage captured the thief hooking up a refrigerated trailer packed with Gay Lea cream and driving away, leaving no trace behind. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities hoping to recover the stolen dessert.
Furthermore, Starbucks released a limited-edition “Bearista” cup, featuring a glass bear wearing a green beanie, which quickly garnered immense popularity among customers. The £22 mug sold out rapidly, leading to disappointed fans who faced shortages and chaos at stores. Starbucks has issued apologies as disgruntled customers take to social media to express their frustration over the scarcity of the coveted bear-themed cup.
In a legal development, a North Carolina influencer, Brenay Kennard, was ordered to pay a staggering £1.33 million after a jury found her responsible for interfering in a married couple’s relationship. Kennard, known for her online following, was held liable under North Carolina’s “criminal conversation” and “alienation of affection” laws, which allow spouses to sue third parties for alleged involvement in an affair. The verdict provided closure to Akira Montague, whose ex-husband had a relationship with Kennard.
In North Carolina, it appears that heartbreak can come with a hefty price tag.
