    Dude has nothing but disdain for his supporters. I remember he was pretty annoyed by the Jan 6th guys and how low class they looked.

  2. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself, but his primary demographic of uneducated working-class folks are people he *really* doesn’t care about. Remember that one of his only complaints about the mob during J6 was that they looked low class. What, he expected dudes in $600 suits storming the Capitol?

    That’s right, Trump fans. Your god HATES you. He views you as weak-minded and laughably easy to manipulate and exploit. Guess what? It’s the one thing he’s actually right about.

    Calling them as he sees them. He probably thought of them as below him, but he is “bringing himself to their level”, so they should repay by voting for him. It was all a transaction to him.

  5. He forgot people, including followers, died on J6. Trumpers consider him so beyond reproach that his forgetting their deaths in service of him is just fine.

  6. His dimwit cult thinks that he would love to sit down and have a beer with them discussing pick up trucks and the nuances of marrying your first cousin. Nothing could be further from the truth. He loathes these people. He only wants their votes and for them to continue to beg to be conned out of their money.

    LMAO hey assholes, even your fucking cult leader know you guys are incels still living at moms house.

    Doesn’t matter. They only adore him because they fucking hate liberals. Hate liberals at any cost, even their own well being. He can do no wrong in their minuscule brains, just as long as he hates liberals.

    These people (my family included) are rock fucking stupid and nothing will ever change that.

    As long as he makes it ok to hate, divide, mock, and abuse, they have shown there’s literally no line he can cross for them to opt out of maga. This isn’t llgoing to a blip to them. He embodies the seven deadly sins, and it turns out they’re ok with all of it, so long as they can get away with those behaviors.

  10. Folks on the conservative sub must be twisting themselves up like contortionists to spin this into a compliment. “Basements are made of CONCRETE, he’s saying we’re CONCRETE TOUGH 💪💪💪”

    Still don’t get how anyone supports him. The Heritage foundation and Fox News supports him because he is their useful idiot to implement their fascist agenda.

  12. Yes. He’s referred to his MAGA loonies in private as basement dwellers and trailer park trash for years.

  13. If you believe that he’d ever let any of his supporters into Mar A Lago, then I have a bridge to sell you.

    >“He has no empathy. He has no morals and no fidelity to the truth.”

    We already knew that before he entered politics.

    MAGAs each think they are the normal one and its just the “other” basement dwellers who are the weird ones.

    You’re a means to an end to him.

    The tax cuts are for his rich friends. If anything, YOUR taxes went up.

  17. So many brave republicans come out against him once they are out of the game. Maybe don’t support him when it counts.

    Dude is going to have so many skeletons come out of his closet when he is finally out of the limelight/dead.

  18. Somehow, this won’t matter to them, but they’re still really, really angry about being called deplorables.

    He literally said to their faces “I don’t care about you, I just want your votes.” In Vegas I think it was.

    He doesn’t care that these are people who have suffered from the years of poor education (especially when it comes to science), misinformation, and lack of healthcare due to his own party’s shenanigans.

    I’ll be honest. I think it is worse to be called a “basement dweller” than a “deplorable.” But in my opinion both Clinton and Don-Old took it easy on the inbred, booger-eating, wall-eyed, half-wits.

  22. DeathSpiral321 on

    He also calls our military “suckers and losers”, yet the majority of military members worship him.

  23. I bet ya, that’s not all he’s calling them…. next these imbecile’s, will have a t-shirt with a quote saying,”I’m a basement dweller”….. the slam, went right over their “ uneducated”🧠
