    It’s not gonna help the people who like him, but the contrapositive of that statement (which bears equivalent logical truth) is “people who like me aren’t smart”

      I don’t think it hurts them. They will acknowledge they aren’t the smartest, and they aren’t the richest. They see themselves as salt of the earth, real people, real Americans. “Smart” people are bad, not to be trusted. Like vaccines, and evolution, and higher education and book learnin’.

    Smart people despise him

    He’s beneath contempt

    The stupid love him, because they don’t understand just what a failure he is

    They can relate, because they understand nothing but bluster and aggression

    They will forgive him anything, as long as he tells them that their hatred isn’t just right, it’s righteous

      Some of them are rich bastards who support him to make money and they actually hate him but money is money. They don’t even care.

      The rest are so genuinely stupid that they can’t figure out that he just called them dumb.

    So what was the actual context of this? It’s funny and true out of context, but I’m curious what the question was, or whatever it was that preceded this.

      I would also like to know. Because even though it’s absolutely true he was probably mocking someone or something. Not like he’s trying to admit his cultists are morons

          Thing is, I don’t think he himself is smart enough to understand that he can mock them. 🥴

          Then again, I may be wrong. He did understand the fact that you can just grab women by the pussy if you’re powerful enough.
