That would be brash and ostentatious and completely out of character for him.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Too right. I'm still puzzled at how an unethical billionaire with poorly disguised contempt for the working class could successfully portray himself as the hero of the downtrodden and the oppressed.

They are not only "downtrodden." They are also stupid.

When his investments are actually placed into a blind trust as required, it'll be amusing (in a sick way) when he leaves office and those investments have earned money, as opposed to losing money.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

You mean the "blind trust" his kids are running, those kids being the same people he plans to put on as executives of his presidential transition team...where they will help decide who gets instrumental regulatory positions in the new administration?
That blind trust?

I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world.

I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
