      Congrats on doing your job. 🙄 Education doesn't necessarily inoculate against believing in nonsense. I've encountered physicians who don't accept evolution, are antivaxers, who deny climate science, etc. You can be highly educated and still be a racist conspiracy theorist.https://twitter.com/real_defender/status/1145864079086690304 …

      I am driving back from the hospital after performing life saving emergency surgery. I am a die hard Trump supporter. Despite what liberals will have you believe, there are tons of educated Trump supporters. Like and retweet if you are one of them.

      Of course, the whole bit bragging about having "performed life-saving surgery" makes me think this is a troll or a bot. Real surgeons don't talk that way.

          It's a decade old account, so probably not a bot. Maybe a fake surgeon troll?

          Probably a defunct account taken over by a troll bot. There's a LOT of those going around.

          Well usually not, but one time my chief resident introduced himself to a patient by saying “I’m here to save your life”. I notice this “real defender” does not have the guts to identify himself.

          I have a good friend whose financial interests are vast to say the least. He is MAGA because it aligns with his interests. Between knowledge of science and practicing medicine, he's firmly on the climate change side. But he's also a Dinesh D'Souza fan. Because it's "moral." :-/

          Twitter novice here, but yea he retweets himself A LOT. Also it's sounds like that kid that really wants to let you know he's in a band.

          A quick perusal of his timeline would certainly suggest that you’re right.
