Something I should say more often

"I watched, he fell harder than was pushed." -Trump talking about the 75 yo who was pushed to the ground by police.

Does someone literally need to explain how gravity works to Trump? Like not in a math way, but in a "if a thing is falling, it speeds up as it falls" kind of way?

I mean, I don't expect politicians to be scientists, but I do expect at least that level of common sense that makes you not walk out the 2nd story window when leaving your house. You don't have to trust scientists to believe correctly that you would fall due to gravity.

In order for the man to "fall harder," he'd have to push off of something above him, or have been pulled to the ground (by something other than gravity) for that to happen.

The only thing putting a force on him besides gravity was the push.

Yeah he's definitely gone deep into tin-hat territory here. The idea is that the guy was a plant to deliberately get pushed over by police, then deliberately fall faster than he was pushed and deliberately bang his head on the ground, to deliberately knock himself out. All this just to make the police look bad, and all while he was doing some secret radar shit on his phone to jam their scanners.

IDK how the cell phone transmitter works. The most energy efficient way would be to use a 1/4 wave antenna, which would be on the order of <1 cm long to transmit microwaves, which can easily fit in a cell phone.

The same antenna for radio frequency transmitting would be on the order of ~1 foot long. Not able to be hidden in a cell phone.

... so he was supposed to be "scanning" the police radio? If we pretend for a second that the potus is not fucking retarded, my first issue would be that whatever he's supposed to be scanning, he could be doing that from a lot further away.
Police radios are not usually encrypted so you could literally just scan for police radio with an ebay police scanner. There are internet radio stations broadcasting police radio from across the globe 24/7. If it is encrypted, cracking that would certainly be a lot more involved than waving a cell phone around.
