Trump claims he understands ‘nuclear’ better than anybody because his uncle went to MIT – 15 atomic takedowns
A recurring theme in the endless ramblings of Donald Trump is how clever he is. He’s a stable genius. English professors say he does the weave like nobody else. Don’t forget ‘the MIT connection’.
In case you don’t know, the MIT connection is that his uncle lectured at MIT. Trump, himself, is widely reported to have been a poor student, whose dad had to pull strings or line pockets to get him into college – but that could all be nonsense. He could be the living embodiment of Albert Einstein.
During a Pennsylvania town hall (an opportunity for the public to ask questions), Trump brought up his smart uncle with an extraordinary claim to Sean Hannity.

We’d be surprised if Trump understood anything better than anybody – even his electric boat versus shark attack obsession. These people don’t seem convinced, either.

Donald could very well go down as the most ridiculous person in American history.
He's brilliant because a relative went to MIT but he had to pay someone to take the SAT for him? OK . . .

The way he transitioned away from that and started talking about his uncle means he doesn’t know shit about the nuclear program.

Trump: “The one program I hated to upgrade was the nuclear program. I understand it better than anybody. My uncle was a professor at MIT…I have a smart family. It's nice to have a smart family. I knew I understood nuclear for a long time.” pic.twitter.com/MjlTWd7QTV

Nothing bespeaks a comprehensive knowledge of nuclear physics like "I knew I understood nuclear for a long time."

Plot twist …
Donald Trump’s uncle went to MIT so that automatically means Trump is smart? His uncle graduated with a degree in economics, wtf does that have to do with the nuclear program? This man is a jackass. https://t.co/kfMAetOK6Z
