“I can just see the fake headlines,” Trump said. “President Trump is talking about all the money they’re making while people are suffering at the pump.”

“But I said, ‘I don’t give a damn, I’m gonna say it: We’re making a frickin fortune,’” he added.

    How can a non-wealthy trump supporter hear this and continue to support him?

    He’s pissing in your fucking face.

        That’s right. The “editorial” for small town papers around here, which are mostly owned by super rich people now is a satire bit about the editor making fun of himself wanting to be king, to try and make fun of the no kings movement. Nothing of actual substance ever enters conservative owned media outside of them making fun of it so their base sadly thinks they are being clever by rejecting opposing views.

      Because as long as he is pissing in minorities faces too, it’s acceptable for them.

      They are just brainwashed.

          I agree there is nothing to wash there. Their mind has been a tabula rasa from the beginning and they will parrot anything.

          It is important to clarify that they are hateful morons. The “hate”-part is doing a lot of work. You can be a moron and not be a Trump supporter, but it is very rare to see a hateful moron who isn’t one.

          They are indeed, but somewhere humanity failed them. You are not born a moron.

      I’ve heard the saying that they all consider themselves temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

        Leopards been eating good for far longer than that. At least since politics was invented. Probably even before then.

      Cells. Lack of them to be specific. And brain ones to be more specific.
