Trump Roasted After He Bizarrely Implies Inventor Of The Wheel Was American, Says Elon Musk 'Does Good At Rockets'

Trump Roasted After He Bizarrely Implies Inventor Of The Wheel Was American, Says Elon Musk 'Does Good At Rockets'

President Donald Trump once again embarrassed himself on the world stage this week while speaking off the cuff about American inventions—or inventions he believes to be American, at least.

Trump was giving an interview to CNBC at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.


While praising billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Trump changed topics to the invention of the wheel:

"I was worried about [Musk}, because he's one of our great geniuses, and we have to protect our genius. You know, we have to protect Thomas Edison, and we have to protect all of these people that came up with, originally, the lightbulb, and the wheel and all of these things."

Watch below:

In reality, of course, the wheel was invented about 5200 years before the Declaration of Independence was written. It's probably safe to say that the ancient Mesopotamians responsible for the revolutionary achievement no longer require Trump's "protection" for the now-ubiquitous invention.

Trump then switched to Musk's rocket abilities:

"He's also doing the rockets, he likes rockets, and he does good at rockets, too, by the way. I never saw where the engines come down with no wings, no anything, and they're landing."

People were...confused.







The President returned from Davos earlier this week to Democratic House impeachment managers making the case for his removal, but not before essentially admitting to Democrats' second article of impeachment.

By all means, get this guy in front of a camera, he's so good at it.

Gavin Newsom Hilariously Trolls Trump For Struggling To Stay Awake During Antifa Roundtable

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked President Donald Trump for appearing to fall asleep during a White House roundtable about Antifa, which the administration recently designated a "domestic terror organization" even though it's not an organization at all.

Antifa is a loose network of anti-fascist activists with no central structure, no funding, no membership roster, and no offices or leadership hierarchy for prosecutors to target.

Remote Worker Speaks Out After Job Uses 'Dystopian' Software To Track His Productivity

There are a few vital truths to every office-based job. First, there are going to be "busy work" moments, from meetings to admin tasks to minor side-quest-style projects that add to the company in some small way but otherwise feel like a waste of time.

Second, as human beings, we all need breaks to restore our mental focus, so a person who occasionally scrolls through their personal email, sends a few texts to a friend, or even scrolls Instagram for a few minutes, will likely be more productive than those who attempt to lock in and do nothing but their job throughout their entire shift.
