President Donald Trump was ridiculed online for a stormy slip-up during an exchange with a reporter aboard Air Force One on Tuesday.
Asked about concerns over possible Iranian sleeper cell attacks in the United States following his decision to bomb the country, Trump pivoted to slamming his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, but referred to “supercells” thunderstorms instead.
“Biden let a lot of supercells into the United States,” Trump fumed. “He was an incompetent president. He had no idea what he was doing. It was gross incompetence. Among everything else, he let a lot of supercells in, many from Iran. But hopefully we’ll take care of them. What Biden did to this country should never be forgotten.”

The gaffe predictably went viral:
Trump called sleeper cells, super cells
He thinks he invented the words “groceries” and “equalize.”
He called for world peace then posted a video to the tune of bomb Iran
But he identified the elephant on a dementia test so I guess he’s a god damn genius
Trump’s brain is just wind, noise, and rotating nonsense.
A super cell of disinformation.

Super cells? Like thunderstorms? Do I have to been on the lookout for twisters walking down the street now?
