Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking perplexed by rise of Donald Trump

Stephen Hawking on Donald Trump

A Black Hole in politics ?

   On the whole Stephen Hawking is a Voice of Reason even in matters not-astrophysical. But he should not be perplexed by the rise of right wing demagogue Donald Trump in the United States.

  I suspect " The Donald " is really a lot more popular here than hawkish " Wall St. Hillary " Clinton.

   Is Stephen aware that our own celebrity astrophysicist, Neil De Grasse Tyson, has endorsed " socialist " opponent of Hillary, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont ?

   Neil did this in a sly question : " Who would Jesus vote for ? " I suspect the New Atheists here were a little perturbed by his poetic endorsement.
