Neil deGrasse Tyson took a break from sharing science facts and nerdy dad jokes on Sunday to blast Donald Trump in a raging tweetstorm.

Tyson also addressed climate change, a topic close to his heart and one the Trump administration has gone to absurd levels to downplay in the face of mounting scientific evidence.

As expected, Twitter users flooded Neil's mentions with hundreds of replies, some supporting him, others calling him a precious snowflake or whatever the Twitter insult du jour is. But there was one response that too perfectly summed it all up.
