    Summary of Trump's speech to the UN today:

    1. Your countries all suck.

    2. None of you know what you are doing.

    3. The US is better at everything.

    4. All because of me.

    5. I'm right about everything.

    6. You should listen to me & do what I say.

    7. And give me lots of awards.

    Going purely ad hominem instead of talking about the actual content? Come on, that's too easy. You can do better than that.

    Actually, I don't think that he and his fellow MAGA cult members can. At least they have never shown any such abilities.

    Diversion is the only way they know of in any discussion that is going over their heads.

    Well, I actually *WAS* commenting on the actual content. The other

    Weill, the minor parts of the content in that case. Anyways, who decides who is a "fake" physicist and who is not?

    Neil DeGrasse-Tyson a fake physicist?

    Are you really an idiot or do you just want to appear to be one?

    The list of his academic endeavours and accomplishments is not endless, but it looks like it because it's so long. He's an astro-phycist author of more than a dozen books about space, a fine list of research publications, 22 honorary doctorates, a ton of awards ... he4s one of the most accomplished physicists ever.
