Let’s round out the narrative on Vivek a little. Yes, he is a pump and dumper, and no he is not a scientist; however, he is also a tremendously giant douche bag.

As a scientist who put the work in and took longer than most to find my niche, this dude's a punk for cosplaying as a scientist. Technically, having an OChem/Microbio/Any science degree doesn't make someone a scientist. It requires actively applying the principles and knowledge gained in education as ones profession.

Similar to oil and water, like attracts like when it comes to people. So Vivek being a well-known conman just makes being picked by Trump logical.
