Trump Appoints Mentally Disabled Man Director of National Science Foundation

President Trump appointed a mentally disabled man to be the new Executive Director of the National Science Foundation today.

A resident of the Brookdale Village Assisted Living Center in Washington D.C., Charles Moss, 56, is currently employed at King Kong Chinese Buffet in midtown.

"I think Ross is going to do a terrific job. Just terrific," Trump remarked of Moss, who's IQ of 65 and lack of scientific background has drawn some carefully worded skepticism from a few Democrats.

"Don't get me wrong - I've seen mentally disabled people do some really inspiring things to overcome the obstacles in their lives', but this – I'm not too sure," Deven Morrero, D-CA, commented.

"Too bad. Ross stays," Trump dismissed flatly.

The unexpected appointment of Moss as NSA Director comes in the wake of another controversial policy move by Trump regarding science funding after he directed new Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price yesterday to re-allocate the entirety of the National Institutes of Health's $32 billion budget towards research projects designed to determine whether Taylor Hicks is hot.

"Because I don't know. Sometimes I think she is, and others not so much," Trump said. "I've never seen anything like it. It's some kind of phenomenon. In one thing she's totally hot, and then, in another, she's not. Whether it's the lighting or the camera angles or what she's wearing, I don't know, but that's what we're going to find out. Preferably on a scale of one to ten."

Added Trump: "Trillions of dollars into cancer research and the rest of it, and for what? David Bowie's dead and Stephen Hawking's still in his chair. It's enough. We've gotten nowhere. It's terrible. Stephen Hawking, I love the guy, real smart guy, but he still goes number two in a bag. It's a disaster."
