Unabomber? Really?

Yesterday, at an AI & Energy summit, when he was giving a speech, and realizing, as he often does, he has no clue, went on a rant about the Unabomber.

He raved about his uncle, whom he claimed had 3 degrees from MIT, nuclear, chemical and math, actually missing what his uncle's PhD was in: Electrical Engineering. Claiming his uncle was the longest serving Professor at MIT (53 years) - his uncle taught at MIT for about 20 years. And then he went on about his the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski was his uncle's student. His uncle stopped teaching at MIT in 1973, when Kaczynski was about 10 years old, never mind that Kaczynski went to school at Harvard and Michigan.

WTF? And they think Biden lost his marbles. All Biden had to do was to fill the time with word salads.

Yeah, so at MIT, the departments are known by their numbers. Electrical Engineering is known as "Course VI" AKA Course 6. Chemistry is Course 5; Chemical Engineering is Course 10, Math is Course 18, and Nuclear Engineering is Course 22. Just one of the things tRump is deeply confused about!

While Donald Trump has claimed his uncle was the longest-serving professor in MIT's history, this is inaccurate. According to MIT records, at least 10 other professors have served 53 years or longer.

For example, Harold "Doc" Edgerton has John Trump beat by ten years.

BTW, tRump shares twice as much DNA with is father compared to his uncle, and his father's later years are interesting.

In October 1991, Trump was diagnosed with "mild senile dementia", with his physician citing symptoms of "obvious memory decline in recent years" and "significant memory impairment". A few months later, another physician reported that Trump "did not know his birth date [or] age", amongst other difficulties.
