Stephen Hawking Baffled by Support for Trump
Renowned theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking may have a good grasp on the workings of the universe, but he says he can't understand Donald Trump's popularity.
Hawkings tells ITV's "Good Morning Britain" show that he has no explanation for the success of the presumptive Republican Party presidential nominee.
So, the man who was once called "the smartest man alive" is even stumped by what people are thinking when it comes to this demagogue nominee.
He is spot on when he says that Trump seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
Trump really is the South Park of politics.
Um, he's a physicist and a cosmologist. He probably also doesn't understand how to do a parallel turn on Ajax Mountain in Aspen with two different size and shape skis, either. Does that mean he isn't really the smartest man in the world?
I think the point he's trying to make is that he doesn't really understand how this many people can be this stupid. However, seeing the list of average Trump supporters on this board I'd say he just doesn't spend enough time browsing the internet. Half the guys who support Trump on this forum are some of the most regularly exposed for saying outright stupid ****. The other half are outright little racist trolls complaining about how terrible white men have it in this day and age.
That wasn't sarcasm (I know its hard to tell with me). I was really just saying that Trump is so far out there that the smartest man in the world has trouble figuring him out...Um, he's a physicist and a cosmologist.

You mean the guy who never had to work a day in his life and has never run a business can't understand why Trump is so popular with those who do? Quelle surprise.

Yeah. Those mathematic professors and teachers out there have it cozy. No real work there.Yeah, I mean scientists and engineers never have to work a day in their lives. Such a posh existence.
:roll:
I also don't know how people can be dumb enough to support Trump.

... Stephen ... Hawking... has never had to work a day in his life? Lol... Do you know who Stephen Hawking is?
Yes, I do. Do you? In fact his ALS caused him to be mostly supported by the state before he graduated Oxford. He has never run a business of any kind.
Even the Cleveland Browns have fans. :lol:
HAHAHAH!
I used to be one of them. Long time ago, when Bernie Kosar was their QB. I loved me some Bernie.
Lmao, no no - you don't get to slink away that easy. You said he has never had to work a day in his life. That's simply false. You're welcome to retract it whenever you want.
Smartness or dumbness doesn't enter into the equation of a favorable politician's ratings. A politician (or pundit or fan) might be the smartest in the room but if they wish to, for example, defend the world, hike tax rates to their highest levels to give the people more or provide any combination in between their IQs drop precipitately.
For me, the smartest politician is the one who concerns themselves with the health and welfare of the country. The politician who strictly attempts to fulfill their ideology is a terrible politician no matter their IQ. Same for judges. Judges' IQs drop precipitately when they strictly attempt to fulfill their ideology.
No one is trying to "slink away", that's your usual silly characterization. What I said was entirely accurate - he never had to work a day in his life. He has done some work, but it has been work entirely of his choosing. He has never owned or run a business. I doubt he has clue one of how to.
