"I am not very smart": NW University professor wins Nobel Prize & uses occasion to mock Trump

[kpete]

“I am not very smart.The IRS (Internal Revenue Service) will run off with a third of it,” said Northwestern University professor Fraser Stoddart, referring to his portion of the eight million Swedish kronor (around $933,000 or 832,000 euros) award, which he shares with Jean-Pierre Sauvage of France and Bernard Feringa of the Netherlands.

“Did you all get that? I’m not very smart,” Stoddart added, to laughter and applause during a champagne-fueled press conference to celebrate the Nobel win.

Trump, the Republican nominee for US president, has refused to release his tax returns.

In the first presidential debate on September 26 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton suggested that Trump is hiding “something terrible,” and suggested that he had not paid any federal income tax.


Trump’s answer: “That makes me smart.”

3. Lots of us are not very smart: we pay taxes.

While Trump is very smart.

Two proofs:
1- he said it
2- he doesn't pay taxes

Not paying taxes is proof positive he knows how to fix the economy

Proof:
1- don't pay taxes (because you lost one billion dollars like a doofus)
2- step 2
3- fix the economy
