Stephen Hawking angers Trump supporters with big words...
Permalink  
 

LONDON (The Borowitz Report)—The theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking angered supporters of Donald J. Trump on Monday by responding to a question about the billionaire with a baffling array of long words.

Speaking to a television interviewer in London, Hawking called Trump “a demagogue who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator,” a statement that many Trump supporters believed was intentionally designed to confuse them.

Moments after Hawking made the remark, Google reported a sharp increase in searches for the terms “demagogue,” “denominator,” and “Stephen Hawking.”

“For a so-called genius, this was an epic fail,” Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, said. “If Professor Hawking wants to do some damage, maybe he should try talking in English next time.”

Later in the day, Hawking attempted to clarify his remark about the presumptive Republican Presidential nominee, telling a reporter, “Trump bad man. Real bad man.”

Aww... look at the lefties throwing insults.

Trump supporters are not ignorant, inbred idiots.

Go ahead, left, keep calling names and acting like children.

O appealed to the uneducated and won twice. That kind of tells you how many uneducated individuals there are in this country. Oh, and how many deceased rose from the dead to vote, too.

Why do you think the left is pushing to eliminate our borders? More votes. Uneducated illegals looking for a handout. Now that some of the uneducated are looking to Trump, the left is scared.

 I know right!  lol  I spit my coffee out when I heard that.

Seriously though, it is a sad state of affairs, the degree of partisanship that has developed on both sides simply divides the country, Trump does know how to use this "anger".

What are you whiners (even the ones with no chance at voting because they're CANADIAN) going to do when Trump is elected? I am not a Trump supporter but the other option of Hillary Clinton is not a better choice so I'll go with the guy who might make the right changes and doesn't go along with all things as usual.

 I don't believe Trump will be elected, admittedly Hillary Clinton is not a great choice either however I believe she is less dangerous (more educated) on the world stage of foreign trade.

I have zero faith in our electoral process, and I firmly believe the next president will be even worse than what we have now.

Forgive me for my ignorance, but how exactly is Hillary educated in foreign trade? That is where Trump clearly has more experience, hands on, IMO.

 Hilary at least has a plan, Trump has a bunch of shoot from the hip remarks that are unrealistic at best and most certainly harmful. While yes Hillarys plan would be very much the status quo.

Just as I thought. She doesn't.

Trump is a negotiator. Negotiators don't show their cards.

What is Hillary educated in? Besides helping herself to money? She has no track record of competent leadership.

 Or you could take some tips from a not so self made millionaire who started life out with his fathers money, blew it, filed for bankruptcy a few times and then cashed in on his celebrity after becoming a TV "personality".

 

From the moment of his birth, Trump was set up for success. The large inheritance left to him by his father, coupled with the contributions and the protections of society and the US government made his ascension to the Forbes 400 list almost inevitable. Nevertheless, Trump fails to recognize this phenomenon and continues to express his belief that he did it alone.http://www.alternet.org/story/156234/exposing_how_donald_trump_really_made_his_fortune%3A_inheritance_from_dad_and_the_government's_protection_mostly_did_the_trick

You don't understand how big business works but you started a thread basically calling anyone who supports Trump stupid.

Ok.

I guess I could go either way, but since I don't have a huge inheritance coming from anywhere I'll have to the Hillary route. Besides, getting married is a good way to cut down on taxes & split the rent!

 I do understand how big business works and I also understand the desire of many to overlook the mistakes, misdeeds and untruths of certain individuals.

Trump himself made the comment about less educated... don't look at me. I thought the Hawkings comments were funny. 

Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?

This just proves you can literally be the smartest man in the world--yet be wholly ignorant on certain subjects.

Something else that I found funny. . .

After Hawkings made this comment about Trump being "a demagogue who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator,”
Google reported a massive spike in people googling the words demagogue and denominator.

 

lol...biggrin
