Stephen Hawking: ‘Trump Is a Demagogue’ [VIDEO]

The theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking said in an interview for ITV’s Good Morning Britain that he doesn’t understand the widening appeal of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in the U.S. Despite his seminal work on black holes, quantum mechanics, space, and stars, Hawking said he just doesn’t get it. “I can’t. He’s a demagogue who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator.”
