    This is the kind of thing that “makes sense and agrees with my beliefs” to his audience - people who don’t fly. His party hammers down on flyover state residents to make them think people in planes are snobs. This keeps them from flying. This keeps them from traveling. This promotes the local echo chambers throwing snowballs at the other side’s forts. This is by design.

      I’ve seen so many planes grounded for weather at the denver airport. I wonder if his comments have something to do with that, instead of that nonsense theory

        Trump is mistakenly equating electric planes with solar powered planes. It’s that simple. It was a snarky talking point on fox years ago to say that these planes would only be able to fly when it’s sunny. He tends to latch on to fox talking points and then jumble them up when speaking because he doesn’t have a very firm understanding of how things work.

          Fox says a thing as an opinion. Trump says the same thing as a statement because Fox viewers don’t know fact from opinion (or from “satire”, legally). Fox says Trump said the thing as a fact, so it must be fact. This is a feedback loop. This is by design.
