In a recent Fox News interview focusing on the economy, former President Donald Trump displayed a lack of understanding about magnets, claiming that “nobody knows what a magnet is.” This peculiar statement, seemingly unrelated to the topic at hand, drew attention to his unique perspective on science, overlooking common knowledge about magnets found in children’s science kits.
Trump further perplexed listeners by asserting that tariffs would somehow ensure the availability of all the magnets needed, as if negotiating with a fictional entity like the North Pole. This incident is not the first time he has exhibited confusion on scientific matters. During a previous trip to Asia, he cautioned US Navy personnel about the dangers of spilling water on magnets, revealing a misunderstanding of their properties.
At the age of 79, Trump continues to explain scientific concepts in a simplistic manner, akin to someone excitedly discovering a basic object like a paperclip for the first time. Meanwhile, chaos ensued in Mississippi after reports of research monkeys escaping from a truck. Deputies were falsely informed that the monkeys were highly dangerous and carrying infectious diseases, prompting a swift response to contain the perceived threat. However, it was later revealed that the monkeys were not infectious and were being transported for research purposes from Tulane University.
Moving north, the police in Guelph are searching for a thief with a sweet tooth who made off with an entire trailer filled with £43,000 worth of whipped cream.

Despite ongoing investigations, there are no leads on the suspect or the stolen dessert-laden truck.
In other news, Starbucks created a buzz with its new limited-edition “Bearista” cup, featuring a glass bear wearing a small green beanie. Priced at £22, the mug quickly sold out, sparking frenzy among eager customers who lined up early in the morning. However, many disappointed fans found the cups had vanished rapidly, leading to scuffles and social media complaints directed at Starbucks. The demand for this whimsical bear-themed cup exceeded expectations, leaving many empty-handed and frustrated.
Elsewhere, a North Carolina influencer faced a staggering £1.33 million bill after being held responsible for causing the breakdown of a married couple’s relationship. Brenay Kennard, popular on social media, was found liable under the state’s unique laws of “criminal conversation” and “alienation of affection,” allowing scorned spouses to sue individuals they believe contributed to marital discord. The verdict brought closure to Akira Montague, the ex-wife of Tim, who allegedly had an affair with Kennard.
The incident highlights how emotional distress in relationships can lead to significant legal consequences in North Carolina, where traditional laws hold individuals accountable for interfering in marriages.
