  1. We can hire Elon! I bet he will figure it out.

  2. If Trump is elected then America will need more than a dome.

  3. I hope Trump’s iron dome is more convincing than “bah bah…bing…zip zip” or whatever he mumbled the one day

  4. Iron dome inside his puny brain

  5. This video is an example of ppl talking about what they don't know about just to be heard lol

  6. The USA is not going to repel an attack. Millions will most certainly die so stop believing we could prevent it from happening.

    Why do you think hundreds of thousands of people are building underground bunkers all across America?

    Bunkers are a huge industry and the really nice ones are for the rich but even those bunkers aren’t going to save you. Besides, who would want to live in a world that has been destroyed by nukes? What’s the point? Read Revelation 6:15 for some truth😊

  7. I lost IQ from this guy even questioning "how would this work?"
    Oh yes how would the worlds most well funded and advanced military even do this? Oh geeeee I wonder how.

  8. Why ?? This people are so horriable!!!
    Why do we want to have this crap this is all the Trump and the USA government show ?
    Create a problem that can be solved so easily make it bigger and then profits from the problem they created? Humans can be so stupid

  9. We can even build a rocket that lands on the moon. The last one look like a homeless shelter. 😂

  10. If Israel has something, then guaranteed the US has something a lot more advanced. We sell stripped down weapons to allies, not the same weapons we have. If YOU know about something, then that technology is probably already 20 years old and they are just telling you the basics. They aren't releasing fully detailed capabilities to the likes of YOU. Israel is packed into a small area close to it's enemies, so it's needs are different than the US, which would more likely need protection from ICBM's… and we have the technology to detect and destroy an ICBM before it ever gets close to the US. I believe that is what he is talking about. He is making an analogy to Israel's short range "Iron Dome" missile defense system. Cruise missiles only fly maybe 800 miles, so an enemy would first have to get close enough to fire one, and we would have fighters in the air before that could ever happen. We have the most advanced stealth aircraft in the world, so it's probably safe to say we figured out how to detect the most advanced stealth aircraft in the world… and that's why we don't sell the same version of the F-35 to allies as we use… because then THEY could develop a system to detect OUR stealth aircraft.

  11. There’s no way that MSNBC is so stupid that they take it literally when trump says he wants an iron dome. That doesn’t have to mean the literally iron dome batteries. We can create a missile battery array that follows the structure of the iron dome and what the iron dome is and have it adequately cover the U.S. long range missiles are a thing. Just further proof that MSNBC actively puts in time and effort to try and keep people from voting for trump.

  12. You'll need it !
    The U.S., still the Number 1 COMEDY on Planet
    Earth !
    HILARIOUS !
    I shall miss it for around 30 seconds when it gets cancelled…

  13. That was in the avengers endgame movie he was talking to captain America about it

  14. This guy is goofy just like his voice. You don’t think we won’t build an arsenal. He’s crazy.😂😂 what a clown

  15. Ever hear of figurative speech?

  16. This guy is so cognitively absent. Normal people can use inference or implications. Trump is using "the iron dome" simply as a metaphor for a missle defense system with near perfect efficacy.

  17. People are actually silly enough to think we can’t do this. Meanwhile he’s referring to space force providing an invisible dome from space. The man created a space military and is now talking about military advancements our country has never had and the big brains just can’t solve 1+1.

  18. Imagine the negotiation about where to start. Your city? Mine? Red states or blue? How to pay for it? State ir federal funds?

  19. "Trump wants an 'Iron Dome.' How would that even work?" Ask Trump, don`t ask public.

  20. Come on my fellow voters, this madness of Trump must end in the upcoming election. I don't care if you are a republican. You have to know that this man is not fit for any office, let alone being president again. It's just time for this country to move on from Trump.

  21. we don't need a iron dome, we need to educate our kids

  22. I'm not putting all my faith in facts provided by a 25 year old

  23. The fascist wants an iron dome? For what to keep other democracies out? A total lunatic cult farce.

  24. Operation Chrome Dome am i joke to you

  25. Lemme guess, Mexico is gonna pay for it.

  26. What we need is a dome to stop the illegal use of surveillance technology that has over thrown the freedoms given by the constitution !! Just because people moving there hands during a normal conversation is similar to hand movements in fighting doesn't mean they have a legal reason to not just invade our privacy but to distory it to the point of the complete inversion of what America is supposed to be !! Automation has distoyed America . Freedom is expensive, it might costs us our safety but that is the law and what America is founded on .😢 When two people with hearing issues can't hear each other because the surveillance from moving there hands while talking than we got issues

  27. The narrator does not have experience in this field. He should be fact checked, when something is presented as fact, it should be researched. The individual veiwer should determine if the narrator is misinformed or informed.
    Questions one should ask is what is the range of the radars, what is the range of the defense system, and what types of ADA units support national defense.
    Inform yourself make your own decisions.

  28. WHO SOLD THOSE TO ISRAEL….?…1 GUESS

  29. I mean they gave one to Isreal so why don’t they have one…
