This is such a weird, animistic/anthropomorphic, projective way to think about technology: "[EM] Doesn’t have the power...the steam is just brutal. You see that sucker going and steam’s going all over the place, there’s planes thrown in the air.” Err. Just turn up the voltage.

Someone show the man a rail gun demo or something. Again, not unique to Trump. I think many people have a very theatrical understanding of tech. Animistic power = dramatic sound and fury and hissing and stuff. Very steampunk.
