The Moron-in-Chief claims to have a "natural instinct for science."

During the course of Trump's interview with the Associated Press yesterday, the subject of climate change came up. And the idiot's response was.... well there are no words to describe it.

Trump again cast doubt on climate change, suggesting, incorrectly, that the scientific community was evenly split on the existence of climate change and its causes.

There are “scientists on both sides of the issue,” Trump said.

“But what I’m not willing to do is sacrifice the economic well-being of our country for something that nobody really knows,” Trump said.

He added: “I have a natural instinct for science, and I will say that you have scientists on both sides of the picture.”

Even after hearing the imbecilic nonsense that falls out of its mouth. I think those people may actually be dumber than it is.

Hah!

Yeah, those stupid Americans who fell for Trump's BS frighten me. They live among us. They drive on the same roads as we do. They shop in the same stores as we do. We see them around us every single day.

We live in a country where about 35% of the people have lost their minds.

It's frightening.

I'd like him to name any science courses he read and the grades.
Time for Dems to make demands of their own.

Tweeting on a technological device while doing so is not a natural instinct for science.

Whenever I think he can't possibly get worse, he does. His faulty reasoning should give him a bed in a an assisted living facility.
