One of the world's most renowned scientists, Stephen Hawking, has revealed his opinion of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump during an interview this week.

During a 'Good Morning Britain' interview, Hawking was asked if he can explain how Trump was able to succeed in his White House bid. Trump is the inevitable GOP nominee as his opponents Ohio Governor John Kasich and Texas Senator Ted Cruz backed out after the Indiana primary.

"I can't. He is a demagogue, who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator," Hawkings said.

The scientist is not the first British public figure to comment on the controversial GOP nominee. Most people in the United Kingdom have condemned Trump for his comments concerning Muslims. Trump had suggested banning Muslims from entering the U.S. after the Paris attacks. His statement that Britain has a massive Muslim problem did not sit well with many people.

British Prime Minister David Cameron and London Mayor Sadiq Khan have both condemned Trumps comments. Cameron said the remarks were "divisive, stupid, and wrong." While Khan, who is a Muslim, said if Trump becomes the president of the U.S., he will stop going to the country because of his faith. He added that this means he will not be able to engage with American mayors and swap ideas with them once Trump is  president.

British parliamentarians have also debated the possibility of banning Trump from entering the UK.

Mexico is another country that feels there will be chaos if Trump gets into the White House. Former Mexican President Vicente Fox said that there will be a trade war if Trump wins the election. His comments come after Trump criticized Mexicans for causing unemployment and bringing in drugs, crimes, and rapists into America.

Trump and his team have not yet commented on Hawking's statement.
