Photo: Getty Images In both personal outlook and policy directives, science is not often a motivating factor in the decision-making process of President Trump, a man who chooses not to exercise because he reportedly believes it uselessly drains his body’s finite store of energy.
The insult may not be as barbed as the president thinks it is. In the midst of a pandemic which has killed almost 220,000 Americans, voters still fear the threat of the virus and wish for a more competent and robust federal response. Two out of three Americans are concerned that they or someone close to them will contract the virus, while a similar number agreed that “Trump has not taken the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S.
The Biden campaign also picked up on the comment. “This is tellingly out of touch and the polar opposite of reality,” a spokesperson tweeted shortly after Trump made fun of the former VP. “Trump crashed the strong economy he inherited from the Obama-Biden Administration by lying about and attacking the science, and layoffs are rising.”
Trump’s peculiar insult wasn’t the only odd charge he lobbed at Biden at his Carson City rally. While the president has long trafficked in the conservative fable that Democrats are out to ruin Christmas, he directly blamed his opponent for any holiday interruptions this year. “The Christmas season will be canceled,” Trump said, describing a Biden win — without accounting for the fact that he will still be president either way come December 25.
Can we talk about how the 'insult may not be as barbed as the president thinks it is'? This shouldn't be 'may,' but 'is.' 'May' leads to anti-science tweets using devices connected to networks connected by an inter-network built by & for... Science.
It isn't meant to be insulting. It means he listens to anything anybody says. If a scientist says we need to shut down the country, he would immediately do it. Which is what this country doesn't need.
It’s effective for Biden.
Trumps standup Abrasive Racist Comedy Act has gotten really old, in 2016 people thought it was laughable because not many beleived a real President could be that totally screwed up but now we all know it wasn't an act, he's actually worse. Time to move on your not funny at all
Trump following the same footsteps as Woodrow Wilson, he also suffered from 1918 flu and recovered. And white house stood silent. 195,000 Americans died in just the month of October.
Thank the Lord for that. trump's actually got it right for once.
Yes, because listening to scientists is a bad thing. /s/ BidenHarris2020Landslide
It's literally this scene.
Also because science saved his life, maybe?
You have to understand that this comment isn't for us. It's for his followers, who NEED to believe that their opinions are as valid as other people's expertise. If we suddenly have a government relying on science and fact, their *opinion* is no longer important.
Uhhhhhhh not quite, no 🤦🏽♀️ What a tool
Breaking: Trump is now campaigning for Biden
BeSeriousUSA Can he just go to prison now?
I literally have no energy left to give to this dimwit. He’s too stupid and it is f’ing draining to listen to him. I use to follow him but I had to stop. He is so f’ing dumb I just can’t. Nov 3rd can’t come quick enough. EVERYONE NOT VOTING FOR HIM SHOULD UNFOLLOW HIM!!!
BeSeriousUSA Listening to scientific facts will save people and this planet! Trump’s biggest downfall: He thinks a majority agrees with him. He’s so wrong!
Works for me -
BURN!!!
Susemgf And tRump listening to his gut isn’t so hot, we’ve now witnessed where a Big Mac will lead to!
That’s a compliment. Think about that: Trump is so dumb he will end up complimenting Biden on accident when he’s really trying so hard to insult him. Actually you could say Trump’s entire campaign is filled with idiots like that.
It’s fun to mock stuff like this. And honestly as a truly undecided voter it may have been the solidifying moment for me to vote Biden.... But if you think these comments aren’t effective, then we’ve truly learned nothing from the 2016 election. His base eats this shit up.
Trump’s development was arrested last night in a full blown, SWAT takedown.
Science FTW
l😅😅😅😅😅
Bumbling buffoon Biden openly said in an interview that if a scientist said shut down the city would you shut it down? This moron without even thinking said I would shut it down. No thought goes into anything he says. The economy and people will suffer more than ever under him.
Sounds like Trumps medicare plan is to get his cult members to abandon all science...doctors, hospitals, medicines ...all are unscientific!
karaswisher What the scientists say should be balanced against what economic and spiritual leaders say.
karaswisher It’s not — at all — and to see it in headlines everywhere this am is fantastic. As well as hilarious! Next up: Breaking News: We cannot let Joe bring dogs into the White House, they are spies.
Cant wait until he loses , so the lies and hate can stop.
BradReason Eventually, most of his minions will be touched by COVID. That will be a monumental personal struggle for them. Becoming gravely ill and feeling betrayed won’t be comfortable.
😂😂😂😂
He will listen to scientists, he is Mr Rogers, and loves his son through and addiction, who wants that kind of man in the White House🙋♀️
karaswisher Insult? What insult?
spasmunkey Well, thinking has never been his forte now has it?!
How would that insult be effective in anyone's mind? It's like saying . . If Biden is elected he will support drinking water when you're thirsty. . .
‘He’ll Listen to the Scientists’... if you think THAT is an insult for a candidate to the USA presidency then YOU are part of the current USA problem~
Why not post everything he said? This is exactly how you clowns snipped the ”some very fine people” in Charlottesville and helped spread lies. You people are a disgrace to this country. STOPLYING FAKENEWS
tankart150 Might?
That’s as bad as calling Joe Mr. Rogers.
Unbelievable
Hey he finally said something that was true at a rally!
It's not an insult at all. It's a foolish declaration that backfired and became an endorsement.
They stink Trump ism is taking us. Back let’s go forward one love
dementeddonald
Scientists are nerds. I don’t want a nerd as President. Sorry not sorry
I usually don't say a word about politics, but this time Trump is proving once again how irresponsible he is by admitting he doesn't listen to scientists.
It’s effective to his base. That’s it.
I like it when Donald campaigns for Joe.
BradReason Donny you are just SFS I can't stand it anymore!!! NOVEMBER 3rd HURRY
Well yeah it is effective-at winning votes for Biden. JoeWillLeadUs DumpTrump SaveYourselves
🤣🤣🤣
I'm a doctor treating COVID9 patients. This is so offensive to healthcare workers on the frontlines and scientists who are trying to come up with a solution. Plus, those sick and dead deserve better.
Only an idiot would think that's effective!
KaraCalavera You had me at “he’ll listen”
He is telling us to vote for Biden.
srsly
Considering the scientists seem be unsure of what they're saying, get caught cooking numbers, and are following a paradigm of action out of China, it might be.
tRump doesn’t believe in science, that makes him really stupid
He is self-sabotaging
worked in idiocracy!
And He Went To Jared
Hardcore Trump supporters think the left has “infiltrated” and science based organization. That is why they don’t care about the “you don’t believe science” line. If you go further left they think it’s all Jews. You all know what they think about Jews.
BradReason ...not everyone has a Dr. John as the uncle!
BidenListens ScienceMatters
F**$ Yes!! What a dumb insult!
Thing is the 'scientists' have differing opinions.
People cheering in the year 2020 4 more years of denying how the world works and suffering the consequences Welcome to Trumps America
Biden isn't listening to the scientists when it comes to fracking.
Oh it is! The scientists who told us 2.2 million Americans would die, the scientists who told us marks were not effective then supported mandates, the scientists who said we must lockdown and them told us they do more harm than good.
Fronterakid
It isn't an insult. Scientist aren't always the best risk managers. Their cure, sometimes causes more damage than the disease.
He should have added the word corrupt.. he will not listen to corrupt scientists.. the ones the dems have bought and paid for.
Sick burn,Trump 😏
Key observation . He doesn't think
Our ‘ experts ‘ haven’t been right about anything yet
JuddApatow Those Damned scientist's are the only reason he's not sucking air through a tube right now. That's gratitude for ya
. New Zealand’s Prime Minister listened to the scientists After decisive lockdowns, New Zealanders have been living a mostly normal life since containing the virus. Their economy is great. PM Jacinda Ardern won RE-ELECTION in a LANDSLIDE VICTORY. .
JuddApatow “Science doesn’t know.”
God he’s just so stupid
New levels of stupid in a President. VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare
So far 45 has made fun of Biden for: Wearing a mask all the time; loving his son Hunter, even though he is an addict; and listening to science. Vote Biden!
JuddApatow realDonaldTrump doesn’t listen to doctors or priests will listen to thieves and sex fein. Failure to manage the spread of trumpsvirus pandemic ProjectLincoln JoeBiden mang0ld HallieJackson BarackObama KamalaHarris JoeBiden
He’s such an embarrassment. What a disgrace of a human.
Well yeah, one of the many things Biden has going for him.
Do you ever read something and it's just so batshit crazy you think it must be you who doesn't make sense?
I'm 100% for this. I would go as far and say Let's burn all the science books for poisoning our ppl. After that is accomplished, we can work our way where it takes us...
I'm 100% for this. I would go as far and say Let's burn all the science books for poisoning to our ppl. After that is accomplished we work our way where it takes us...
Science has gotten us where we are, however, im willing to take a journey for my favorite former apprentice host without science. What year was it where there was very little science?

Schmuck! Just a schmuck!
Am I the only one who remembers Pence saying, “we’ll follow the science”? We all knew that was BS, this only confirms VP was blowing smoke up our arse.
JuddApatow Coming from the guy who thinks windmills cause cancer.
JuddApatow Watch Fauci talk about this exact event happening 4 years ago,it’s so eerie, How he described it. Trust these guys, they know what they’re talking about.
JuddApatow Dumb and dumber every day.
JuddApatow He's going full-stupid. You never go full-stupid.
JuddApatow NOT an insult.
JuddApatow Uh oh! Somebody is about to learn the word 'stipulate'.
I mean, it’s pretty obvious what he means. Obviously you have to listen to them but he’s poking fun at the fact that there’s people who don’t think that the president should listen to literally any other advisor on matters that would effect Americans in other indirect ways
😆🤦♀️
Wut
Haha, low blow
