You know, when I watch, uh, our guys operate those things, it’s unbelievable. Missile coming in, missile coming in. These geniuses sit down. Most of them are, you know, they’re from MIT. But they sit down, bing bing bing bing, boom, ph-sheee. It’s gone. It’s amazing. I think we could use, do you like that? I mean, isn’t that better than giving other countries billions of dollars? Billions. We’re going to get billions of dollars out of the countries and so they can build a dome, but we don’t have a dome ourselves. We’re going to have the greatest dome ever.
He’s clearly not talking about a literal physical dome.
The problem is that Trump tends to use phrases like this literally. Not saying it’s the case this time, but it’s certainly on brand for him. My initial thought was that he’s advocating for getting rid of missiles and replacing such systems with an actual dome. It’s just so hard to figure out what he means sometimes.

Clickbait.
Are you sure about that? With that word salad, who can really be sure what he’s thinking.
I’m not a native speaker, but would anybody say “build a dome” when talking about setting up missile batteries?
We would. That’s a fairly normal thing to say.

Because Isreal has a missile defense system called the Iron Dome. So Trump thinks the that all missile defense systems are called domes.
He heard someone talking about this, probably: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Dome
Which is still stupid, because the we already have this tech.
So… Patriots
What I’m taking away from this transcript is that he is indeed talking about a real-ass dome
I never thought he was talking about a literal wall. Im not getting wooshed again.
I don’t know why they bother, reading the verbatim transcript of what he said is more entertaining than any clickbait.
Only video I found … During the “pshee” he’s clearly gesturing a missile interception.
This isn’t “sunlight in your body” stupidity, he’s using an established metaphor to talk about a comprehensive missile defense system.
