Stephen Hawking admits he '''can'''t explain''' Trump popularity - ITV News
I will be the first to admit that for the most part what celebrities and non-political types think about politics means a bit less than squat, but I can't agree more about the bolded part of his quote.
Stephen Hawking has admitted the popularity of US presidential candidate Donald Trump is beyond even his understanding.
On previous occasions, the world-famous theorist has made no secret of his disdain for the likely Republican Party presidential nominee.
But asked if his knowledge of the universe meant he could explain the popular appeal of the billionaire tycoon, he told ITV's Good Morning Britain: "I can't.
"He is a demagogue, who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator".
