Trump will make America stupid, tweet-rages DeGrasse Tyson [View all]

The president hasn't yet made himself everyone's favorite.

Indeed, when his 2018 budget was announced last week, many saw cuts to arts funding, education, health and even Meals On Wheels and gasped.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson is one of those left unimpressed.

In a storm of tweets on Sunday, the astrophysicist offered his own grim criticism of Donald Trump's budget. To lighten the mood, he made use of the president's most famous campaign slogan.
