Stephen Hawking lamented today that he may no longer be welcome in America under Donald Trump, as the renowned British physicist asserted that the US President's priority would be to satisfy his electorate who are "neither liberal nor that well-informed".
"I would like to visit (the US) again, and to talk to other scientists. But I fear that I may not be welcome," Hawking, one of the world's best-known scientists, told ITV News.
"Trump was elected by people who felt disenfranchised by the governing elite in a revolt against globalisation. His priority will be to satisfy his electorate who are neither liberal, nor that well-informed," the 75-year-old cosmologist and physicist said.
The scientist had previously called the US president a "demagogue", but said although he still admires America, he fears "that I may not be welcome".
