Many who “like” him are just riding the grift train.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That means a lot about what he thinks of his supporter base.
That's what she said. No, really, Jasmine Crockett said the same!

Correct! You have to have the IQ of a slug to like Trump
Shit! Finally some truth to this!
He's told the truth 2x in one week.
The prior truth he said was that he doesn't care to unite the country.
I want to say 'never has truer words been spoken', but sadly, I don't think that's the case. Empathetic compassionate people don't like him. And they seem to be in a minority right now because everyone is being crushed to the point that they can only look after themselves, and fear for themselves means nothing left to spare for others.
Why aren't the people who love him going, "Heeeey!" Or do they know they're dumb? That would mean that Miller, Bannon, Zuck, Guiliani, Theil, etc. are being called dumb and are okay with that.
They've made intelligence offensive to their in-group. They're proud to be unintelligent, and just the insinuation that something is "too smart" let's them know it's to be attacked.

So he's either admitting he's stupid or admitting he doesn't like himself?
He's admitting that his voters are stupid.
Took him long enough to notice that people with brains don't like fascists.
No we don't
That's NOT True! I'm a Mexican Immigrant with an Undocumented Wife and I'm planning to VOTE for your for a THIRD Term if ICE lets me!
This should say something. Instead, his fans will basically say, “that’s why I love him!” Completely missing the joke they just made at their own expense. Or getting the joke and not caring. Which, itself, is also a joke at their expense.
God damn right
Now dumb people on the other hand...
Nobody likes you.
Anyone who is friendly to you is just looking to use you for their own benefit. No one would willingly be around your ugly stupid stank ass if you were penniless.
Your parents didn't like you. Most of the US don't like you. Most of the world don't like you. You are cancer.

Is there more than a 4 second clip of this? I'm interested in hearing a bit of context before I start trolling maga people with it.
This is definitely in the "water is wet" category.
I think his recent stroke gave him a moment of clarity.
Wait no, it was just a fart.
