NYU political science professor blasted for tweeting fake Trump quote, calling it 'plausible'
Fox News ^ | 26-May-2019 | Frank Miles

Foreign policy expert Ian Bremmer, the president and founder of Eurasia Group and a New York University political science professor, got in big trouble Sunday for tweeting a fake quote attributed to President Trump, then claiming it was “plausible” the president would say it.

“Kim Jong Un is smarter and would make a better President than Sleepy Joe Biden,” Bremmer wrote in the now-deleted tweet, attributing it to Trump.

North Korea has labeled Biden a “fool of low IQ” and an “imbecile bereft of elementary quality as a human being” after the U.S. presidential hopeful recently called North Korean leader Kim Jong Un a tyrant during a recent speech.

to “dictators and tyrants” like Kim and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Bremmer was called out on Twitter by many notables, who questioned his reasoning.

Canadian journalist Daniel Dale tweeted: “This quote is fabricated. As often, no idea what Bremmer is doing.”

======= This fake quote and the self-reply 23 minutes later get the Dan Rather Award with the Fusion GPS cluster and the Alexander Downer gold star.

I wonder what the good professor would think of the many fake but plausible tweets I could make up for Obama and his merry band.

Short version: Political science professor is a political science professor.

It’s plausible that Ian Bremmer said he was planning on blowing up the new world trade center building.

Why not make them up for the Professor himself? Call him a homo child molester on Rate My Professors and say it is “plausible.”

See the psychopathology here. This self aggrandizing professor sees himself as President of the United States by stealing Trump’s idenity and is expressing his real opinion regarding Joe Biden. Tenure is a terrible practice. Even if NYU were inclined ( and rest assured they are not), they can’t fire the sick lowlife.

Bremmer was a favorite “expert” for Leftist media during the Obama era. To lie about Trump in such a blatant way shows that he, too, is afflicted by Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Bremmer's last lecture this semester was short and sweet:

"Students, everything I told you this semester is bullshit.

Now for the truth! MAGA! Vote Trump! Have a nice summer and God bless you. All of you get an A+ in this class for not killing me."

Plausible.

You will recall Joe Biden saying, “This is a big F*ing deal.” when Obamacare was passed. He was 2/3’s right.

Again, “Just remember all the good lies have an element of truth to them.”

Further proof of my contention that “political science” is one of the major oxymorons extant.

Fewer and fewer degrees (and so-called ‘professors’ holding those degrees) are worth the Obamastuff they are printed on.
