Donald Trump created a bizarre tale about Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in an apparent attempt to criticize hydrogen cell car technologies.
The Republican nominee has repeatedly insisted that hydrogen cell cars are unsafe and even explode - though mishaps with the new technology are rare.
He repeated those claims in Atlanta Monday night, and decided to spice up his criticism by imagining Marjorie Taylor Greene blowing up in a car.
Youre not recognizable if something goes wrong, Trump told the crowd at Georgia Tech.
If something goes wrong, and Marjorie Taylor Greene with that beautiful blonde hair is driving down the highway in a hydrogen car and the problem with hydrogen car[s], if something goes wrong, its like the atom bomb. Youre not recognizable.

There are currently 17,000 hydrogen cars are on the road in California - the only state to authorize their use, according to Car & Driver magazine.
The state has a set of rules to ensure that any escaping hydrogen does not run the risk of explosion, the magazine reports.
However, Ukrainian forces have also been able to turn a hydrogen cell car into a hydrogen bomb with the force of 400 pounds of TNT, Jalonik reported.
