Donald Trump isn't really one to elaborate on details or spend time on explanations — this is the guy, after all, whose actual strategy for defeating the Islamic State is basically "it's a secret." While that seems to be working out okay for Trump's foray as a politician, it might not work so well in other fields. For one, the sciences.
Still, psychologist Matt Crawford went ahead and imagined what Trump would be like as a scientist — and the result, published in the fake Journal of Complete & Utter Nonsense Talking, is a nerdy delight:

But wait, there's more: Crawford has also published a cover of The Journal of Complete & Utter Nonsense Talking ("a classy Trump publication") and a review of the study ("we will make research great again").
Anyway — might as well keep on running for president, Donald. Science doesn't really seem like it'd be your thing.
