Yeah, other than both being President ‘way later in life than they should have.<\/p>\n
President Biden was notable for always bringing his family into things. Who hasn’t heard of his wife and daughter killed by a drunk truck driver? (He wasn’t and it was their fault.) His son who died of cancer in Iraq (well, several years later.) The list of Bidenisms goes on and on, and Republicans gleefully pounced on ’em for the last four years as evidence that Joe was, shall we say, not lighting all the candles on his mental menorah.<\/p>\n
But there is always that big, big, problem with being a bit of a bloviator living in a glass house… and Mr. Trump got busted throwing family story stones. To wit:<\/p>\n
President Donald Trump appeared at an event in Pennsylvania on Tuesday to promote investment in artificial intelligence. But in classic Trump fashion, he veered into a story that had nothing to do with AI.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I first heard about AI, you know, it\u2019s not my thing, although my uncle was at MIT, one of the great professors, 51 years, whatever, he was the longest serving professor in the history of MIT, three degrees in nuclear, chemical, and math,\u201d said Trump.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Well, his uncle was a long-serving highly respected electrical engineering professor. Not the longest. Sorta close?\u00a0 But it gets better.<\/p>\n
\u201cKaczynski (Ted Kacynski, aka ‘The Unabomber’ – ed.) was one of his students. Do you know who Kaczynski was?\u201d Trump said. \u201cThere\u2019s very little difference between a madman and a genius. But Kaczynski, I said, what kind of a student was he, Uncle John, Dr. John Trump? He said, what kind of a student? And then he said, seriously, good. He said he\u2019d go around correcting everybody, but it didn\u2019t work out too well for him. Didn\u2019t work out too well, but it\u2019s interesting in life.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Even more interesting – Kaczinski wasn’t identified until 1996 and John Trump died in 1985.\u00a0 (Ya think either Trump was that<\/em> sharp? He was identified through his political writings by his brother.) Why would someone ask about him ten years before he was identified?<\/p>\n
There\u2019s also the fact that Kaczynski got his bachelor\u2019s at Harvard and then went on to earn graduate degrees at Harvard.\u00a0\u00a0Gizmodo<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
There is no record of Kacynski ever taking a course at MIT while he was at Harvard. Or Michigan, or Berkeley. Kacynski was a math major, too, not an electrical engineering student.<\/p>\n
I know it’s a radical thought… but stick to the truth. If you don’t know, don’t say it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
