Trump to Stephen Hawking: "Shut up, Stupid"

Responding to scientist Stephen Hawking's description of him as a, "Demagogue who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator," Donald Trump was swift and to the point on his Twitter feed this morning.

"Shut up, stupid," he wrote.

Trump later published a photo of himself bucking his teeth with the flat of his hand against his chest in caricature of the renowned physicist, whom he has since branded "Stupid Steve".

"Stupid Steve can't even figure out a single, coherent theoretical framework of physics," Trump tweeted. "Where is this unified theory? Unbelievable."

Trump added that The Theory of Everything, "Sucked".

"Just kidding. What a great film," he later remarked. "A cripple marries a pig. Terrific."

"Stupid Steve should be ashamed of himself," Trump tweeted again seven minutes later.

Though Hawking has declined to comment on Trump's blitzkrieg of abuse against him, his publicist did confirm that he has received a number of death threats from Trump supporters, most of which involved pushing him off tall objects.
