Stephen Hawking on Trump:

Hawking Issues One Perfect Sentence On Donald Trump And His Supporters

So how do you explain Trump’s continued popularity? Perhaps the physicist can shed some light on the situation?

“I can’t,” Stephen Hawking said, after being asked in a interview with CNN affiliate ITV to explain Trump’s unprecedented political ascension.

For someone who has the ability to explain the unexplainable, this observation is a bit disappointing. However, the (arguably) smartest person on Earth did go on to offer his personal take on the man:

“He is a demagogue, who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator.”

Trump has yet to comment, but don't be surprised if there’s a tweet storm a’ brewin’.
