"Even though you don't understand the science"

I think that says so much more than any of the other garbage that spills out of his mouth

People that say "you don't understand science" is like saying they don't understand how science comes to its conclusions. It's not political. It's not personal. It's what is found with an experiment. And then repeated.

The person doing those has motivations and personal stuff. Everyone does. To say someone manipulated the results based on that and everyone else that repeated the same damn method is baffling.

Trump said "I don't think even Science knows" as if science is some institution or singular entity. They seriously think there some Big Science organization

They're "people's people" - having spent their whole lives dealing with fellow humans whom they can convince, entice or bully - and beyond a certain point of wealth and fame even dealing with the Law is mainly a question of convincing, enticing or bullying the right people.

I think they have trouble understanding systems and processes which are not based on people and where you can't just convince, entice or bully the problem away.
