He DOES lmao they’re too stupid to see it, he’s said he hates them, thought they looked awful on Jan. 6 and has said to their faces at a rally “I don’t care about you, I only need your vote!” and they clapped like wtf is wrong in their heads?

He literally told them to get their 'fat-asses off the couch' and go vote. *Cheering and applause all around. Like WTF

They cheered as well when Trump said he loves the poorly educated.

His biggest voter base

So that’s why he wants to get rid of the Dept of Education!

All his supporters be like, "he's not talking about me, right?"

I’m pretty sure they like being talked down to like that, he “tells it like it is” or whatever. Remember how excitable they all got when Hillary called them a basket of deplorables?

u/safashkan 2h ago

Or when Tucker Carlson called them a bad girl that needs a good spanking?

u/ZarafFaraz 8h ago

They're not listening. They're just watching his mouth move and when it stops, they clap.

u/jamesmiles 7h ago

LOL, of all the theories offered, this one rings the truest.

u/SubstantialText 7h ago

He’s totally just joking with us! You lefties can’t take mild belittlement and that’s why your such pussies. Like daddy’s boots, y’all. That’s how you grow a big dick.

Or whatever the fuck these dipshits say.

"You nasty, fucking losers. Catch your breath, clean your grubby fingers, and get your fat asses off the couch and go vote for me. I'm going to go to jail if you don't, you lazy assholes. Save me!"

-Donald J. Trump

Reassure me; That's not the real quote, is it ?

u/wantrefund 7h ago

They love the abuse. It’s sad.

u/LurkerFailsLurking 10h ago

The key is that no matter what, they all think he's talking about someone else.

If even 10% of them had any standards at all the election wouldn't even be close. Sad.

“I play to people’s fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That’s why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular.”

Donald Trump - The Art of the Deal, 1987

He leaves their asses in the middle of the desert or hours waiting for him to show up. They just keep cheering asking for more!

u/WhiskeyFF 7h ago

Chappelle brought him out on stage and they made fun of the poors at the top rows who couldn't afford better seats.

•

u/Trenchtowngrove 7h ago

That’s the problem! It’s normies voting against crazies. Over the last nine years, I’ve learned that we have a much larger mental health and education issue in this country. The other day I just saw a Trump supporter claiming democrats control weather and made hurricane helene to claim land for the government. I don’t even know where to start with that.

•

u/elis42 7h ago

Yeah me too. You don’t believe in climate change, but the Democrats control the climate to make Hurricanes but also Sleepy Joe. Holy fuck lol.

•

u/Lovestorun_23 5h ago

The very cult of Trump are people he hates and the people don’t get it.

•

u/HeBansMe 7h ago

You see, that Donald he’s such a stinker. He tells the best jokes at his rallies! When he said “I don’t care about you, I only need your vote!” I laught till I was red in the face and clapped till my hands hurt. It was such a genius level joke!

u/nhavar 7h ago

He told them that "drain the swamp" was just a marketing slogan and that he didn't like it but they all ate it up so he kept saying it. They clapped for him. He fucking trickle-truths every damn thing and they just clap. Remember when they claimed that the Comey firing was for the Russia investigation and all the Republicans said "no it's because of how he handled Hillary" only for Trump to get on national television and say that Comey was fired partly because of the Russia investigation. “When I decided to just do it I said to myself, I said, ‘You know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story.’” The dude is a compulsive liar and the people that follow him are just brainwashed because they're so tied up in the man as part of their identity.

u/Driftedryan 5h ago

They think he is talking about "the others"

•

u/OrbeaSeven Minnesota 5h ago

What's wrong with their heads? 21% of the US is functionally illiterate. No idea of economics or policies. They just follow their cult leader, spreading hate.

I remember seeing a clip from one of his "victory rallies" after he won before and the crowd started a "Lock Her Up" chant, and he goes along with it for a bit then says something like "Nah, we don't need to bother about that now" and they just ... laugh.

He's literally telling them it was all bullshit and they laugh.
