For Stephen Hawking, the world-renowned expert in theoretical physics and cosmology, the success of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is a mystery.
Hawking called Trump "a demagogue who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator,” during an appearance on the United Kingdom’s ITV network.
In addition to his scientific work, Hawking, who has a slow-progressing form of ALS, is a vocal advocate for individuals with disabilities. Trump drew criticism late last year on the campaign trail when he appeared to mock a New York Times reporter with a disability at a rally in South Carolina. Trump later denied mocking the reporter and said he had never met him.
During the same television appearance, Hawking urged British voters to vote in favor of keeping the U.K. in the European Union. The much-discussed “Brexit” vote is scheduled for June 23 and a vote to leave the EU would cost Great Britain in terms of its economy, national security and scientific research.
"Gone are the days we could stand on our own against the world,” he said. “We need to be part of a larger group of nations, both for our security and our trade."
AND we re hashed this out last year right after it happened, and Trump said he didn’t know him, and if he met him, he still didn’t know him...
Trump is not the type of person that would do that to anyone with a disability...and those of us that support Trump know that...
Stick to black holes, Dr Hawking. American politics isn’t your cup of tea.
I don’t think Dr. Hawking gets out much ... he watches a lot of teevee ....
Guess he’s not so smart after all. hehe!
Smart people can be really, really stupid sometimes.

If memory serves, Hawking thinks that if ET finds us, odds are they will eat us. Global government is probably a thing he embraces.

Hey Hawking, I’m smarter than you.
Your third rate debunked black hole event horizon is drivel.
Your single singularity proffered as the defacto start of all time - poop.
When you are the ward of the state it must be confusing to appreciate the concepts of Great Britain or the United States of America.
Hawking is an idiot-savant who imagines epicycle upon epicycle to stitch his research together. He’s no more politically astute than your average weed-headed gender studies puke.
Actually, he’s been wrong about black holes too.
There were famous astronomers who said in the 1930’s that man wouldn’t land on the moon for 1000 years. They were only off by 960 years. ;-)
Scientists should stick their field of expertise.
he’s called the smartest man alive but I’m not aware of any actual accomplishments or discoveries other than the fact that people feel sorry for him. Sorry it’s just the truth.
Why is he never called “Dr.”?
tis a shame a physicist can’t apply Newton’s third law to politics.
Yeah, another “genius” were told-
we’re
