But the other guy is the one who has dementia.

Hard to call this is dementia, when telling bold face lies are his election strategy.

There are the calculated lies and then there's him just blathering incoherent nonsense.

There has never been any competition between the mental fitness between trump and Biden. Biden has a speech impediment, trump is delusional, narcissistic, ignorant, psychopath, who can't string two sentences together.

"Aviation experts agree that no airplane would be, or could be, flown that relied solely on solar power to stay airborne."

Confused by this one, given that https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_Impulse went around the world on solar power. Are they suggesting it wouldn't have batteries? Or they are only talking about airliners?

They can also fly above the clouds.... Solar energy just straight up isn't enough energy for something like a commercial jet though.

~~It sounds stupid when I hear this, but I think he's basically meaning aircrafts try to avoid flying in bad weather. I think we all know that though; how that's supposed to make a point to something, idk.~~

Edit: nvm this is EV airplanes, lol. He doesn't know shit about EVs he just knows his voter base is against anything not coal, oil or gas.

The 30% thing... Idk about all that noise.

Don't try to explain away the stupid, insane, ramblings, of a malicious psychopath.
