President Trump will not meet with the American Nobel laureates this year, Stat News reported.
The decision breaks with that of past presidents, who have met with the American Nobel Prize winners nearly every year since 2001.
Two American Nobel Prize winners told Stat News they didn't plan to go to the White House if there was an event.
Columbia biophysicist Joachim Frank said he was "relieved" he wouldn't see the president.
“I will not put my foot into the White House as long as Trump, [Vice President] Pence, or [Speaker Paul] Ryan (i.e., the possible succession of impeachments) will occupy it,” Frank told Stat.
“I cannot speak for the others; don’t know them personally yet, but I strongly believe that as thinking intelligent people they will have a similar attitude as I.”
The White House said Trump wouldn't meet with the recipients in person because of foreign travel. Trump has been traveling through Asia and is expected to return late Tuesday.
Yeah, okay.
Both Barack Obama and George W. Bush met with the American Nobel prize winners during their presidencies, but then again they were not quite as terrified of intelligence as Tangerine Hitler.
You know you really cannot blame the two scientists quoted in this article for not wanting to meet Trump.
It would be akin to Jane Goodall attempting to sit down to tea with one of the chimpanzees she was studying.
The chimps that Jane Goodall studied and infinitely more intelligent than Cheeto Pendejo. Trump is just flat out afraid of anyone more intelligent than he is and thus he's afraid of about 90% of any humans.

DeleteI agree, don't insult the chimps,which unlike trump,are very intelligent animals.
The chimps also have a larger vocabulary than trump.
Jane Goodall would be honored to sit for tea with her chimpanzees. I think you need another analogy.
ReplyDeleteMy sentiments exactly! Love Jane and the peace and love she brings to this 🌎
DeleteWhen was the last time you saw a chimp with its finger on the nukular button? No offense meant towards any chimps living or dead.
ReplyDeleteHhhmmm. This sounds remarkably like an instant replay of the "uninviting" of the basketball champions that occurred AFTER one of them said he wouldn't go because of Humpty Trumpty.
ReplyDeleteHe needs a new play book - including one that includes his getting out fo the White House. In hand cuffs.
Trump can’t stand to have actual smart people in the same room as himself. He’s afraid his stupidity would be apparent to every one ( it already is to most of us!)
ReplyDeleteHe IS the smartest, has said so many times, and disproved it time and again.
DeleteHe has to keep repeating it to convince himself.
Deleteyou know he's the best of every thing. he's like you know, a smart person.
DeleteNot to mention Nobel Prize winners are often scientists. And we know what Trump and the Republicans think of science.
DeleteGryphen,
ReplyDeleteIt would be akin to Jane Goodall sitting down to tea with a poacher. Also, Jane was more into the mountain gorillas than chimps.

often described as researchers.'
"Goodall is best known for her study of chimpanzee social and family life."e found that chimpanzees could be brutal—that they, like us, had a darker side to their nature."[19] She described the 1974–1978 Gombe Chimpanzee War in her memoir, Through a Window: My Thirty Years with the Chimpanzees of Gombe. Her findings revolutionised contemporary knowledge of chimpanzee behaviour, and were further evidence of the social similarities between humans and chimpanzees, albeit in a much darker manner."startling, and disturbing, was the tendency for aggression and violence within chimpanzee troops. Goodall observed dominant females deliberately killing the young of other females in the troop to maintain their dominance"

" December 27, 1985, Fossey was discovered murdered in the bedroom of her cabin"
""when I reached down to check her vital signs, I saw her face had been split, diagonally, with one machete blow.""The last entry in her diary read:
'When you realize the value of all life, you dwell less on what is past and concentrate more on the preservation of the future.'"
"one of the foremost primatologists in the world, Fossey, along with Jane Goodall and Birutė Galdikas, were the so-called Trimates, a group of three prominent researchers on primates (Fossey on gorillas; Goodall on common chimpanzees; and Galdikas on orangutans) sent by Leakey to study great apes in their natural environments."

Consumer Finance Protection Agency will be gone about then too. Once Cordray leaves, they'll either close it down or put a Deplorable in charge to destroy it from inside.
DeleteYou've got to love that caption "I went to Wharton; I'm so smart..." - Who is he fuckin' kidding?? It was not too long ago that a former professor of his opined "trump was the stupidest goddamn student he had ever seen; a regular "know-it-all"!!
ReplyDeleteJust look at his sadministration, stacked with wealthy cronies, anti-science, and anti-intellectuals. This is what his "base" sees; a one-sided controlled message. The "dumbing down" of American students has come full circle!!
I do not blame any of these Nobel recipients for lowering themselves to be in his presence. trump is pissing himself in fear, knowing that considering his anti-science agenda, perhaps one of these scientist just might punch him the fuck out!!
I'm, like, a really smart person.
DeleteThen why does he speak like a really dumb person.
Like,I mean,intelligent has too syllables, like you know what I mean.
The tax bill will be hitting post graduate students the hardest. The PHD grads students that teach get a stipend of about $30,000 and free tuition in return for their teaching. The new tax plan plans on taxing them for the full cost of that tuition. For many this will increase their taxes 400%. It would cost them half of their stipend, about $15,000 to pay the tax on that "income" they never see. Who can afford to live on $15,000 a year? So the number of PHD candidates will be drastically reduced by this tax plan.
DeleteJust another instance of foot shooting and the dumbing down of America. There goes research, innovation, creation. A self-made brain drain.
Lucky for the winners,I am sure the white house contacted them and they didn't want to meet trump,so he turned it around saying he is too busy,trump has to be first to put out the insult.
ReplyDeleteOT? "“All we studied was Jesus and science there,” Bloomfield said of her early education."
ReplyDelete"the 37-year-old writer and mother of three preaches that women should return to a more "traditional" way of life on her website, Judgybitch.com. She claims that women shouldn't have the right to vote, and has blamed young girls who dress and act suggestively for their own cases of sexual abuse."“I’m quite comfortable calling myself a homemaker,” Bloomfield said. “Ideal families have parents at home, it’s as simple as that.” So get this '“wife beating.”
"“We have the best women,"
“What Role for Women in Our Movement?” She concluded that alt-righters should “demand more [from] women … push those who are already involved to move beyond progressivism … inspire other women to take up the torch they were meant to carry." “Sterilize undesirables,” Now>
"Martina Markota, a self-described “right-wing performance artist,” produces videos for the conservative website the Daily Caller, and was recently linked to the harder-edged corners of the “alt-right” in a story published by Salon. Markota hawks merchandise on her website that refers to herself as the “Queen of Kek.” ("Kek" refers to a goofy parody religion worshipping the distinctly “alt-right” symbol of Pepe the frog.) "

lets go back a 100 years. bring out the handmaids!!!!
DeleteSterilize Undesireables? (Like the entire Democratic Party?)
DeleteOr perhaps a more nazi-inspired path. Are they going to sterilize everyone who is blind, deaf, autistic, Down Syndrome, diabetic, has Multiple Sclerosis, or Muscular Dystrophy, or any other genetic defect? Because you know they ALL cost society more money. More money for education, or signage or even putting in curb cuts. What's to stop them from doing genetic testing and eliminating any fetus that isn't genetically perfect as far as we can test? Boy, that would sure get them to embrace abortion. And all in the name of saving taxpayer dollars. Yeah, I really see that coming.
Pretty soon they'll be evaluating babies at birth. Got a harelip? You go to the "showers". Club foot? "Showers."
I've got another name for Homemaker Bloomfield.
Stupid.
An Undesirable trait. To the showers!
"British primatologist Jane Goodall sent a letter to every U.S. senator on Tuesday urging them to oppose a push in the U.S. Congress to allow oil drilling in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, a region environmentalists say is one of the world’s last paradises."
ReplyDelete"Republicans have attached the ANWR measure to budget legislation, which needs only 50 votes to pass the Senate"
"”Does it take the voice of Jane Goodall to beg Senators to stop hurting indigenous people and animals?“ asked Cantwell.” “She’s calling on them to set a conservation example instead of creating the NEXT tragedy.”"
Y Jane? U Lisa!

They don't care. She can't vote.
DeleteWhat could they say to a pussy grabbing narcissist?
ReplyDeleteand please don't insult chimpanzees.
ReplyDeleteChicken shit. As yellow as his hair. Just doesn't want ot be embarrassed becuase they likely would refuse to meet with his orange shitgibbonness.
ReplyDeleteHe's heading them off at the pass. Basically disinviting them before they can refuse the invitation or speak publicly that they wouldn't come if asked.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I imagine they are all relieved they don't have to go there and shake his sweaty little hand.
