British scientist Stephen Hawking fears he "may not be welcome" in the United States now that Donald Trump is President.
In an interview with ITV's Good Morning Britain on Monday, Hawking described President Trump's election as "a definite swing to a right-wing" and a "more authoritarian approach."
He was especially critical of the appointment of Scott Pruitt, "a man who does not believe that carbon dioxide causes climate change," as head of the Environmental Protection Agency.
"He should replace Scott Pruitt at the Environment Protection Agency," Hawking told ITV.
"Climate change is one of the great dangers we face, and it's one we can prevent," he said.
"It affects America badly, so tackling it should win votes for [Trump's] second term, God forbid."
He suggested that the appointment of Pruitt, as well as the promise of a border wall and the sanctioning of two oil pipelines, are designed to "satisfy [Trump's] electorate, who are neither liberal nor that well-informed."
"I have many friends and colleagues [in the US] and it is still a place I like and admire in many ways," he said, "but I fear that I may not be welcome."(continued)

It’s not Trump’s America you ignorant egghead. It is OUR America. Mr. Trump serves at our pleasure. And WE are well pleased. So take a chill pill, Stephanie.
“I may not be welcome” in Trump’s America
Translated from Leftspeak to vernacular English: “I hate Trump’s America”.
This poor guy has ruined science with his brand.
Larry Flynt is sure self-absorbed.
He’s delusional. Needs to go out in space and inspect black holes.
Well, it’s not as if Hawking is in any position to jump the fence, so I think he’d be okay.
I have a friend who is a Field Medalist. All his interpretation of society comes through the prism of math.
He claims that the French doctrine of pre-emption on crime and terror is not an oppression threat, but a great opportunity for demand in research... or something to that effect. I have to look back the quote.
There are many people like this - geniuses in their professions, stupid in many other things. I know some of them - my veterinarian is amazing at his work; but his political spoutings are ignorant and hilarious.

See? Now thats the big difference: We won’t keep you out because you choose to believe in fairy tales.
Unlike your brethern who want those who deny the myth of climate change to be stripped of our livlihoods, free speech and freedoms.
That ought to tell you something.
I have found that to be oddly common place. People can be quite intelligent on one subject, and blithering idiots outside their area of expertise.
I keep seeing this charge by the Left, but I just don't see it. If anything, his conservative agenda will decrease that approach.
No Stephen, its Obama’s death panels you should be concerned about.
So, a return to rule of law is authoritarian...
Genius is often accompanied by idiocy.
For a "smart" guy.....Your kind of an IDIOT !!!
Then why are you not taking China and India to task? (crickets)
“”Climate change is one of the great dangers we face, and it’s one we can prevent,” he said. “
I guy as smart as Hawking comes up with a statement this idiotic!? Wow. We can’t prevent climate change!
It’s not just a record, it blows away the next best by 2 decades. It’s such an extreme amount of time to survive a progressive disease, especially as he was already in a wheelchair decades ago, which indicates a great deal of progression had already occurred by then.
It’s also interesting that, as the Big Bang models of the universe he spent his whole life creating are disintegrating under their inconsistencies, he should now turn his thoughts to politics instead.
Have never been impressed by this mans IQ. Well, okay, maybe when I was young and dumb. But he is welcome to visit America anytime he wants. And we will allow him to exhale CO2 while he is here.
