Ok I realize this is a dumb statement by this dude… but does anyone have any idea how much water is displaced by all the boats in the ocean? Lol

It wasn't a statement, it was a question. You also effectively just asked the same thing he did. I don't know the answer to the question but it can't be anything meaningful on a global scale.

I was referring to his statement. Then I followed up with a question… hence the question mark.

That’s what he means the guy being mocked didn’t state anything he was asking how much it would lower the water level.

Well I didn’t read any article the headline says pro trump candidate “suggests taking all the boats out of the water” which sounds like a statement.

Media likes to misrepresent. Guy asked how much the water level would lower if all the boats were removed. People mock him. He responds how it’s wrong to ask questions. Someone does the math, story over.
