Status: offline 		The theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking angered supporters of Donald J. Trump on Monday by responding to a question about the billionaire with a baffling array of long words.

Speaking to a television interviewer in London, Hawking called Trump “a demagogue who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator,” a statement that many Trump supporters believed was intentionally designed to confuse them.

Moments after Hawking made the remark, Google reported a sharp increase in searches for the terms “demagogue,” “denominator,” and “Stephen Hawking.”

“For a so-called genius, this was an epic fail,” Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, said. “If Professor Hawking wants to do some damage, maybe he should try talking in English next time.”

Later in the day, Hawking attempted to clarify his remark about the presumptive Republican Presidential nominee, telling a reporter, “Trump bad man. Real bad man.”

That's why Trump speaks in simplified English.

They say the most effective communication to the masses, you still gotta avoid using big words to get message across to all sectors.

No way, this cannot be a Polish person. I know the stereotype but it is not true. No Polak is that stupid unless they were stolen at birth and raised by, shit, I can't even think of...

Forget it.

How many ? I can say this, there are alot of fucking stoooopid people in this country, but not knowing what the word "denominator" means would be a liberal trait. That they do not know how to divide $20 trillion into 300 million.

Are you telling me the nutcase republicans are forgetting simple math now ? What, are we all forgetting everything ? No wonder there are so many product recalls and defective designs. No wonder we have no industry, nobody even knows how to use a ruler, let alone a caliper or micrometer. I learned how to read a micrometer when I was about seven years old. And I go to school and find out the other kids cannot even read a ruler. And it has gotten worse since then.

And these assholes do not even have the common sense to STFU and not reveal their lack of education ?

Beam me up Scotty.

Really? I thought Trump spoke that way because he was thick.

He's the only hope America has when it comes to not letting political correctness get in the way of judgement in politics. He has bigger balls than any politician out there today.

Insult, prejudice, resentment, are not proof of big balls but of small brain.

The lefty loons may see it that way. What he is actually wanting to do is save America from the mess it's in due to political correctness gone too far.

At least Australia isn't as badly infected from the PC virus yet but it's getting there.

Why am I not surprised to see you select a far Right, racist, borderline fascist party? This sad bunch of boofheads manage to create violence where ever they go in Australia. Almost all Aussies reject their brand of virulent hate and division and don't want these thugs in their neighbourhoods. In other countries these ALA people would be football hooligans.

Their supporters (at least those interviewed on TV) struggle to put two words together. For one of their supporters to complete a simple sentence in standard English is a major accomplishment. They set a new standard (read; depth) for moronic. They look like thugs, they act like thugs and they appeal to thugs and would-be thugs.

So, all up, just about perfect for you RM. A hate fest with plenty of scope for you to ingest the hate and add more hate of your own to the mix. An ALA meeting might be the only place in the world where your views are taken seriously.

No.

These thugs come over as thugs because they are thugs. Thuggery is what they do, as the violence that occurs where ever they are confirms. Thuggery is all they do.

What could be more straightforward and simpler?

You mean what the media only wants you to see.

Just like how the media in the mainstream hardly or never shows the thuggery from the left.

I wait for the day when the mainstream media shows what's happening here....if it ever comes.
