Trump zegt dat hij 'een natuurlijk instinct heeft voor wetenschap'

There is no "natural instinct for science." This is not a thing. There is curiosity, there is exploration, and there is the desire to learn & grow & test one's naive notions against cold hard data. Believing in a "natural instinct for science" is anathema to everything science is

I’m glad you have a scientist uncle and that makes you have a “natural instinct” for science. Go to fucking grad school and you’ll see there’s NO SUCH THING as a natural instinct for science. Go away. God I hate expressing political views on social media but holy shit pic.twitter.com/Wo3ZjtN6oR

trump: “I have a natural instinct for science.”
'Instinct' is the opposite of 'science.' There is no 'instinct method.'

Of all Trump's absurd boasts, the notion that he has a "natural instinct for science" may be the most ludicroushttps://t.co/08JlCqw0fC

"I have a natural instinct for science"
- Donald J. Trump
He was explaining why he rejects the 97% scientific concensus on climate change. He seems only capable of natural instincts. Isn't that what babies do?

Donald Trump on climate change: “I have a natural instinct for science.”
No @realDonaldTrump. You have a natural instinct for DENYING science, truth and reality. And a natural instinct for lying, committing tax fraud, obstructing justice and conspiring against the United States.

Last night the Prime Minister of Australia said "the magic of science starts with belief" and today the President of the US said "I have a natural instinct for science" and look guys I don't think that word means what you think it means.

in the last 12 hours:
• @realDonaldTrump "i have a natural instinct for science, and i will say that you have scientists on both sides"
• mini-me @ScottMorrisonMP "the magic of science starts with belief"
we are clearly well past "peak enlightenment".
