In a shocking display of ignorance, US President Donald Trump again showcased his lack of understanding of even the most basic technological concepts when he recently discussed the upcoming 6G cellular network. During a live address, Trump inexplicably stated that "6G" allows for a "little bit deeper view into somebody's skin."
The confusion was compounded by the fact that Trump seems to have no recollection of his own statements regarding previous generations of wireless technology. Just a few years ago, he suggested that he wanted 6G as soon as possible in order to prevent the US from being left behind β a notion that now appears laughable given his bewildering explanation of the term.
Trump's performance on matters related to science and technology is not new; his previous remarks have included claims about Apple aiding him in building out 5G networks in the United States, despite there being no evidence of this occurring.
