Stephen Hawking On Donald Trump: 'He's A Demagogue'
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
Stephen Hawking may understand theoretical physics and cosmology, but can he explain the rise of Donald Trump? "I can't. He's a demagogue who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator," Hawking said. Trump was a small part of the renowned scientist's interview on ITV, but Hawking's negative view can't be good for the presumptive GOP nominee. A refresher for those of us not quite as whip-smart as Hawking: A demagogue is "a political leader who tries to get support by making false claims and promises and using arguments based on emotion rather than reason." Yeah, not a great name to be called by someone whose job relies on reason. Most of Trump's opponents have also called him out along the lines of demagoguery. "You may not be aware of this, Donald, because you don't follow this stuff very closely," Marco Rubio said during a CNN debate. "Let me tell you what he does. He says one thing, and then he goes back and tries to clean it up," John Kasich told Fox News. "Donald Trump alleges that my dad was involved in assassinating JFK. ... This man is a pathological liar," Ted Cruz said. For his part, Trump beat all three of those critics in the Republican primary process. And as reports say he's gotten past the magic number of 1,237 delegates, he appears to have clinched the Republican nomination. This video includes clips from Donald J.

I doubt hawkings said any of that , I could sound like hawkings in two minutes. besides Hillary apeals to emotion and fear mongering and violent tendencies, Trump uses fact based logic and information, hillary was trained by saul Alininski who was a mafia con man who used and embraced all forms of demagoguery. now we know hillary is and always was the true demagogue , because the educated vkters who use logic and reason unlike the emotional safe space progressives voted for Trump ,and I did as well.

Methods of Demagogues:
1. Scapegoating- blaming the in-group's troubles on an out-group, usually of a different ethnicity, religion, or social class.
2. Fearmongering- evoking fear in their audiences, to stir them to action and prevent deliberation. Fear of rape, for example, is easily evoked.
3. Lying- While any politician needs to point out dangers to the people and criticize opponents' policies, demagogues choose their words for their effect on their audience's emotions, usually without regard for factual truth or the real severity of the danger.
Some demagogues are opportunistic, monitoring the people and saying whatever currently will generate the most "heat". Other demagogues may themselves be so ignorant or prejudiced that they sincerely believe the falsehoods they tell.
3.Emotional oratory and personal magnetism- remarkable skill at moving audiences to great emotional depths and heights during a speech.
The demagogues' charisma and emotional oratory many times enabled them to win elections despite opposition from the press. The news media informs, and often the information is damaging to demagogues. Demagogic oratory distracts, entertains, and enthralls, steering followers' attention away from the demagogue's usual history of lies, abuses of power, and broken promises.
4.Accusing opponents of weakness and disloyalty- advocating brutality in order to demonstrate strength, and arguing that compassion was a sign of weakness that would only be exploited by enemies.
5.Violence and physical intimidation- Demagogues have often encouraged their supporters to violently intimidate opponents, both to solidify loyalty among their supporters and to discourage or physically prevent people from speaking out or voting against them.
6.Personal insults and ridicule- Many demagogues have found that ridiculing or insulting opponents is a simple way to shut down reasoned deliberation of competing ideas, especially with an unsophisticated audience.
A common demagogic technique is to pin an insulting epithet on an opponent, by saying it repeatedly, in speech after speech, when saying the opponent's name or in place of it. The use of epithets and other humorous invective diverts followers' attention from soberly considering how to address the important public issues of the time, scoring easy laughs instead.
7.Attacking the news media- modern demagogues have often attacked it intemperately, calling for violence against newspapers who opposed them, claiming that the press was secretly in the service of moneyed interests or foreign powers, or claiming that leading newspapers were simply personally out to get them. -
demagogue... what a buzzword

It's so sad to see this poor man like this::

I think I can answer the question Stephen Hawking couldn't by quoting another physicist:
Only two things are infinite,
the universe and human stupidity,
and I'm not sure about the former
-Albert Einstein -
What's Hawking's claim to fame? Black Holes? Who gives a shit about a Black Hole in space, really. This fucking monster if he's so brilliant why doesn't he use his mind to solve the problems here on Earth. Or, fix his own fucking monstrosity. These astrophysicists don't produce anything except mathematical models of the universe which are useless. I personally know one who is a professor and the mother fucker is always on sabbatical going to Africa, all over Europe and the rest of the world. He's a lazy mother fucker. He only has said ONLY ONE interesting thing to me and it was like pulling teeth. I asked him if we detonated all the nuclear weapons in the world in one area would it throw the planet out of orbit and he said NO. The planet is too massive even for that. So, I don't accept Hawking's bullshit about global warming. He's a fucking monster.

i bet that they used text speech over him. AHHH so much idiotics in this world.
-
No. He appeals to people who want their country back. Stick to physics and England, Hawking. We'll take care of America. Don't you Brits remember what happened in 1812 when we sent you yelping back across the pond? We can do it again. Oh yes.....

Stephen hawking Nick pigeon

they should put trump and Hillary an a boat In middle of ocean and see which uses the other as a draft because they both suck

I am quite sure Trump did not even understand what the great mind sad about him! His primitive mind of a very limited IQ is not capable to understand ideas of one of the greatest minds in the recent history. And for those primitive minds of Trump's supporters of the same level as Trump is Hawking specifically explained in common language that "Trump is a bad, very bad man!"
