This seems like a comedy article, but with headlines like "Trump defends the size of his penis" and quotes like "Donald Trump may be a rat, but I have no desire to copulate with him", I'm unsure what to think.
It rather annoys me, because when I read or watch old literature/movies (ok that's confusing), they always have the classiest way of speaking. Nowadays it feels like it's all dumbed down
It terrifys me how many people in these comments are talking about this like it's a real news article. You... you all do know it's satire, right? I know Americans have a problem with irony, but come on now.
Trump is a demagogue?? Yep. But what about your beloved Bernie promising free everything to young people..... or Hilary or Bush or Obama or or or every politician ever.... Mr. Hawking is wildly brilliant for sure. But pointing out that politicians intentially try to appeal to voters desires is far from groundbraking. A google spike in definition searches does not mean that it was Trump supporters who were searching. I guarantee you the vast majority of this country, liberal or conservative, dont know the definition of demagogue or the relevance of S.H.
You've got a point. As a Frenchman, I have the unfair advantage that every English word of three syllables or more is actually of Latin origin. I am glad that a few American citizens went through the trouble of looking up a few words in the dictionary recently. Every bit of education helps.
Not even 2016 can stop him
