The Donald lectures Dr. Merkel on Uranium

1. To be fair, that was from the press conference last month and not directed at Merkel.

We have plenty of things to nail Donald on. If we try to make stuff up, the other side will flip it to mean everything is "fake news."

5. The point is to compare the scientific knowledge levels

It's satire.

7. Yes but the timing and structure of the OP implies that he said it during her state visit

and directed it at her. Without reading my comment or using google, did you know that the statement was a month old?

6. I think this points out how one of them is an intelligent scholar and the other is just a stupid

Bullshitter

11. Thank you for pointing this out, and I agree

14. Actually, I though that was rather obvious.

I don't see Trump having the guts to say something like "you know what uranium is, right?" to Angela Merkel. After about 3 minutes with her, he was probably thoroughly intimidated by her intelligence and the breath of her knowledge.

I just thought the OP was making an apt comparison due to the occasion of Merkel's visit.

2. Oh, mercy! What a total embarrassment our so-called president is.

Amazing that Chancellor Merkel held it together in his presence.

"...lots of things are done with uranium, including some bad things." Simply astonishing. Please, somebody, make this nightmare end!

3. A narcissitic idiot schools a quantum physicist on nuclear weapons. What could go wrong?

4. Thank you doc

A degree in physics, a scientist, a public servant and a diplomat compared to a bankrupt, greedy, dishonest, criminal mind? Maybe thumper should stick to marbles?

8. But, but Trump's uncle was at MIT working on all types of radiation and atomic stuff!

That's got to count for something!

9. As a scientist

I am deeply frightened that this man is our "leader"

God help us! and I don't believe in an anthropomorphic God.

15. Ditto. ♡ jimlup. eom

10. There comes a point when one doesn't even know what to say anymore.

I am well past that point. Le sigh.

12. Trump -- "Uranium? Oh yeah ...

That's that thing on the wall in the bathroom."

13. Uranium makes things go boom-boom

As Mrs. Crabapple Don's 5th grade teacher told him - and he never forgot.
