    No I don't know the quote but I'm curios about what it is. Anyway it kind of makes me mad that anyone would be rude to him. If I ever develop a man crush it will be for Stephen Hawkins. Cheers and happy weekend

    On ITV’s Good Morning breakfast programme on May 31, 2016  British physicists Stephen Hawking  dismissed the billionaire businessman (Donald Trump) as "a demagogue who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator".

    Oy vey. That's pretty sad. But, if they were Trump supporters, could they have been trying to mock him for his disability? That wouldn't surprise me either.

    Why because he used a big word? 

    No one puts any credence into what Trump says.    If they are following Trump they are not going to listen to Stephen Hawking or GOD for that matter. 

       Of course you, TRUMP,  cannot hear anything but your own big mouth spouting hot air with words in it.  ALL ONE SYLLABLE words. 

    Demagogue is too large a word for him to worry about.  His followers do not even own a dictionary.

    It was not said. It is a satire.

    Yes, the satire article is in the New Yorker.  

    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.”
