Stephen Hawking can understand the universe, but not Donald Trump

Renowned physicist Stephen Hawking may have a good grasp of the workings of the universe, but he says he can't understand Donald Trump's popularity. Hawking told ITV that he has no explanation for the likely GOP president nominee's success. (May 31) AP

Stephen Hawking can understand the universe, but not Donald Trump

Then goes onto say DT is a 'demagogue'. People with high IQ's rarely have any wisdom.

If you knew what "demagogue" meant, you'd understand why Hawking said that about Trump.

Here..................I'll even give you the definition of the word from dictionary.com

demagogue

or demagog
[dem-uh-gog, -gawg]

noun
1. a person, especially an orator or political leader, who gains power and popularity by arousing the emotions, passions, and prejudices of the people.
2. (in ancient times) a leader of the people.
verb (used with object), demagogued, demagoguing.
3. to treat or manipulate (a political issue) in the manner of a demagogue; obscure or distort with emotionalism, prejudice, etc.
verb (used without object), demagogued, demagoguing.
4. to speak or act like a demagogue.

And............in the Trump University trial, it's come out that the people who were selling courses were told to use emotional language to appeal to the people so they could get them to buy more courses they didn't need.

Not only that, but in "The Art of the Deal", Trump himself writes that the best way to get people to do what you want is to appeal to their emotions.

Nope, the word demagogue fits Trump to a T.

Duh. The point was Hawkings idiotic hypocrisy saying he didn't know then calling him a demagogue

He said he didn't understand it (probably because Hawking works more with logic than being swayed by emotion), and after saying he didn't understand his appeal to the people, it must be because he's a demagogue.

Most adults use logic when making decisions, because making decisions based on emotion usually ends up being the wrong one.

Uh-Huh, Hawking is a physicist not a political "scientist", which means two things:

1.) He actually performs a useful function for society
2.) He has no special insights into how politics and voter preferences operate

Why the fuck anybody would ask Stephen Hawking about politics is a mystery, whats next on this reporters agenda? asking Pat Caddell to explain the mechanics of Gamma Ray bursts?

Uh... because he's wicked intelligent? This a trick question?

My professional specialty is media but that doesn't mean I don't know a lot about horticulture. Where is this planet where people get labeled as X and can never dabble in anything else?

Reporting Hawking's opinion of Donald Trump is a textbook Argument From Authority logical fallacy.

And Hawking should know better than to participate.

According to Hipmunk, Trump hotels lost an average of 59 percent of their bookings in the first half of 2016, compared to the first half of 2015.

That is what liberals do. It should come as no surprise as liberals want to punish the guy for speaking up for what is right and ruining their apple cart. Queen Hillary was ordained 8 years ago as the successor on the throne and how dart Trump say otherwise. Once he wins the White House, the bookings at this Hotels will go through the roof and he will have to build more of them.

Everyone knows the game. Oh and thanks showing how little you care for a traitor who takes bribes from the Russians.

This decline is about the same decline as Hillary is getting from her voters.

Hawking told ITV that he has no explanation for the likely GOP president nominee's success.

I have an explanation. This is a re-post:

For eight years now, conservatives have claimed the reason they lost the 2008 and 2012 elections is because we nominated moderates instead of conservatives. This has been their operating premise for quite some time now.

Finally, this year we had several – SEVERAL – conservative candidates. So how was Donald Trump able to steal the nomination away from them?

Donald Trump has made his fortune by exploiting human weakness. His temples are a string of casinos which prey on hordes of the middle class and poor.

And then there is his reality television empire. As with all reality TV programs, Donald Trump’s shows are deliberately designed to draw out the worst behaviors in people. Greed, lust, envy, gluttony, and betrayal.

Donald Trump is not a conservative. He wasn’t even a Republican until last year. Before he announced himself, whenever he was asked a policy question, he invariably gave the far Left answer.

When asked about abortion, he was “very pro-choice” right up to the ninth month of pregnancy. He harmonized with Cindy Sheehan in wanting George Bush impeached for invading Iraq. He wanted the United States to cut and run from Iraq, a policy which conservatives stridently insist led to the rise of ISIS. He supports an Assault Weapons Ban. He supports single payer healthcare. He supports taxing the wealthy more. He said Bill Clinton was a great President, and that Hillary Clinton would make a great President. He said Hillary Clinton was the greatest Secretary of State ever, one year after Benghazi. His entire family donated to Hillary’s Senate and Presidential campaigns. He financed the Democratic National Committee chairman’s gubernatorial campaign in Virginia. A DNC chairman is as Democratic Establishment insider as it gets. He is a close personal friend of the Clintons.

The Republican Party had a whole host of conservative candidates vying for the nomination. And then one day, the Earth opened up and vomited out Donald Trump, claiming to be a Republican.

How did this man succeed?

Decades ago, the Republican Party began what has become known as “the Southern Strategy”. This was a program designed to draw the “negrophobe whites” out of the Democratic Party into the Republican Party, and thus transform the conservative Democratic South into the conservative Republican South.

The Republican Party has carefully and deliberately nurtured and fed the bigoted and racist rats who were lured out of the Democratic village and into the Republican village. And now it is time to pay the pied piper, and his name is Donald Trump.

This purveyor of human fears and failings zeroed in on the worst in the Republican Party and made the election about Mexicans and Muslims.

Policy discussions about abortion, gun rights, states rights, taxes, federal deficits, and all the core conservative principles went right out the window.

What were we talking about before Trump came along?

We were pretty excited about Dr. Ben Carson, who had bitch-slapped Barack Obama with the mighty hand of God at the National Prayer Breakfast.

We were thrilled over Governor Scott Walker, who had won three election victories in the face of a full frontal liberal assault!

We were talking about Ted Cruz, the immovable object in the path of the irresistible force of federal deficit spending.

We were hailing John Kasich, the only candidate on either slate who has not only balanced the federal budget, but gave us a surplus. And he has done the same as the governor of a key battleground state.

Donald Trump brags – actually BRAGS – that he turned us away from those conversations and made the contest about Mexicans and Muslims.

Is every Trump supporter a racist? You can always find exceptions who prove the rule in any political camp, but if you take a core sample of the Trump base, you will always find shreds of the old Confederate flag in their substance.

These are a positively schizophrenic people. They complain we didn’t nominate a conservative and that is why we lost, and yet they are supporting a limousine liberal. They say they wave and wear the Confederate flag because they are proud of their heritage, and then they go to great lengths to prove those old Confederates were Democrats who were racists and slave owners. This is their heritage, and they are proud of it!?!

They had a golden opportunity to select a true conservative as the Republican nominee, and instead chose a fearmongering huckster who has long vouchsafed liberal causes.

What will be their excuse for 2016?

Good to know Trump is hurting the feelings of leftist psychopaths the world over.

A Trump presidency will indeed be a fatal blow to the modern left.

 

[Arianrhod]

Hawking is a loon

He called the Donald a bully who appeals to the lowest common denominator.

Pretty much inthe mark.

And you call him a loon.

Question: is Hawking wrong? And are you smarter than he?

If he is so smart how come he can not even wipe his own ass?


.

The fact that you consider this a measure of intelligence says it all, really.

Maybe Hipmunk is just down on bookings, it is a shitty website that is getting it's ass kicked by Trivago.

I think Trump is fine: Donald Trump’s latest personal financial disclosure, made public on Wednesday morning, revealed surprising increases in revenue on some of his properties. The Office of Government Ethics document, filed with the Federal Elections Committee, followed an announcement from Trump on Tuesday saying his new report would show he raked in $557 million of income since 2015. The disclosure, submitted annually by presidential candidates, covers a period of more than 12 months – from the first day of the preceding year, to the time the candidate files (January 2015 to May 2016, in this case).
