LONDON (The Borowitz Report)—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.”

Godwin strikes again.

Borowitz is satire. You probably know this but some won't.

No, I didn't know, however I suspected as much. So Hawking had nothing to do with this, right? Anyway, it's a hoot.

Yeah Borowitz is purely satire. No reality. I got burned once.

Edit: I just checked. It was a Hawking one with Palin that got me a couple years ago!

While it is satire, I wouldn't say it's not grounded in reality. The reality that's being represented by that piece is very much in use around here.

I remember a week or so ago an exchange, which confirms the article's premise, between two members that went something like this:

(Hawking-type intellect member)--so literacy is another attribute to add to your list of deficiencies.

(Trump/Hawking dumb down intellect member)--I think you meant illiteracy. Haw! Haw!

Actually Hawking said it back in May - at least the part about Trump being “a demagogue who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator”.

The rest is strictly from the imagination of Borowitz and is, indeed, a hoot.
