President Trump on Friday baffled observers while touring the Centers for Disease Control headquarters in Atlanta, where he bragged that he had a predisposition toward science because of his ‘super genius’ uncle.

Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.'

That was a reference to the president looking up at the total eclipse of the sun - the first time in more than 40 years that Americans could see one - in August 2017.
Another Twitter user posted a meme showing Abraham Lincoln, the nation’s 16th president, putting his head in his hand.
Another Twitter user commented: ‘Each clip is worse than the previous one. I can’t take it anymore.’
One Twitter user urged the president to follow his passion for science and pursue a new career, writing: ‘It's not too late Donnie. Resign right now and apply to MIT!
