PresidentĀ Donald TrumpĀ spoke before an adoring crowd in Tennessee Saturday, telling his fans, āI could say the stupidest things and youād clap.ā
He finally said what we were all saying this entire time. I hope those stupid people could understand what their stupidity has cost this nation.
Heās said in multiple occasions that he loves the poorly educated. Also, smart people donāt like him.
Directly calling your supporters stupid and they cheer.
I think thereās a lot of rich smart people who like him.
Iād argue they probably donāt like him, but that doesnāt mean they wonāt use him to gain more wealth.
If they like him they arenāt smart by definition, as he will fuck everything up.
Youāre right only if you consider empathy and care for others as smart.
Execs at big companies have made tons of money. Trump has done amazing things to steal wealth from the majority and transfer it up to the wealthiest 0.1%.
It is smart to support Trump if youāre in the top 0.1%, greedy, and donāt care about anyone else but yourself
There far too stupud to put that together. Theyāre like, hate junkies.
Theyāre like, hate junkies.
Hate is the opiate of the masses. Some say itās religion, but thatās incorrect. Religion is merely a syringe of choice.
Damn! Thatās a good angle! That shit rings so true.
Incapable. Completely, utterly, unable to understand.
The whole world
Iām not a great lip reader, but that woman in red on the back left looks like she says āThatās trueā right after he says it.
Heās making fun of you, Barbara.
TL;DR: Taken out of context, but turd is still a turd.
I am anti trump as much as any sane person but Iām also anti propaganda. Although I know nobody is immune to it, I believe itās important to note that context matters.
context matters If you actually listen to it, heās telling the supporters that heās willing to come have a rally in places heās already won because the people are so supportive and thereās a lot of love in the community. He then went on to say that he could come out and say the stupidest thing and theyād still cheer him on.
The context is that he was saying the crowds were supportive and loving, not that they were stupid.

I donāt think that makes it betterā¦
If you clap at stupid things to be supportive, youāre still stupid.
Youāre right of course, but the context changes the meaning anyway. Heās complimenting them, not insulting (at least not intentionally).
Point is, I donāt think itās ātaken out of contextā.
Idk, I feel like anybody who cheers for a specific person, no matter what they say, refusing to think critically or consider disagreeing, is a fucking moron. Even if he didnāt mean to directly call them stupid, heās still indirectly calling them stupid imo.
The inverse is also true. I donāt automatically disagree with everything trump says just because heās a stupid, hateful, narcissistic fascist. Iām glad he discontinued the penny, is against changing clocks for the DST switches twice a year, and the quick rollout of COVID vaccines was a big win. I canāt think of anything else off the top of my head, but itās important to acknowledge good shit even if it comes from a child raping dipshit. Iām not gonna pretend that I like the penny just because an adjudicated rapist dislikes the penny, and I also donāt like the pants-shitting fuckface just because we agree that changing clocks is dumb as fuck.
A lot of people liked Kanyeās music, and since coming out as an unapologetic Nazi, a lot of those people are not Kanye fans anymore. Those ex-fans adapted in ways that these forever trumpers are incapable of. Because theyāre fucking stupid.
Somehow I donāt think itās out of context? Someone who is so supportive and loving to the point of ignoring the most blatant stupidity is a damn right dangerous idiot and a fool, and trump very clearly captured that.
That doesnāt change the meaning in any way though. It seems to me thou doest protest too much.
The ācontextā doesnāt make it better. Heās literally telling them point blank that he can say whatever he wants and theyāll still cheer and love him. Iāll never understand people like you who come up with these ridiculous apologetics for Trump.
Stop fucking enabling him.
Iām not seeing how thatās not calling them stupid. Not really out of context at all actually.
That being said, politicians at the highest levels are supposed to be good enough at their jobs that they donāt say things like that which can be easily taken out of context. I mean, itās not like the person who quoted him only used part of the quote to change the meaning of the sentence. He literally meant what it said.
Some people like Trump for the fact that heās absolute shit as a politician, but I think thereās some use in electing a person who is actually smart enough to be a good politician.
context matters If you actually listen to it, heās telling the supporters that heās willing to come have a rally in places heās already won because the people are so supportive and thereās a lot of love in the community. He then went on to say that he could come out and say the stupidest thing and theyād still cheer him on.
I think itās less about context and more about intent. I think his intent (and I assume the way the crowd interpreted it) was āI can talk about insignificant things like what I had for breakfast and youād still find it exciting.ā
Anyone with half a brain hears it as āyou are so sycophantic that it doesnāt matter what I say, to the degree that I could openly insult you and youād still cheerā
His followers hear it as āI appreciate you for supporting me, even when I talk about things that donāt interest youā
I can definitely agree with you there!
He says/does a lot of stupid things that his lackeys are forced to ignore or try to dismiss as a joke. Bragging/praising crowdās unconditional love for the stupid crook is an example of a dumb thing to say.
Yes. As evidenced by the last decadeā¦
he knows this from experience
Mob mentality and groupthink are very powerful. On another note, trump does say the stupidest things.
His one promise heās kept!
Either theyāre not actually listening to the words or they are listening and it doesnāt matter to them.
I canāt decide which is worse.
I think itās his tone of voice that matters most to his audience, the words go by too quickly for them to process, much like when you speak to a dog.
I have literally said some of the meanest things (Iām willing to say) my dog using a nice voice. She just wags her tail and comes in for snuggles.
Democracy doesnāt work when the base is this dumb. Need to find another way.
Ironically, this was what the EC was supposed to protect us from.
IKR?
Democracy is not a nice to have, but a check and a balance on power. The problem is the two party system, that and the fact that money has become a bridge between the separation of powers.
The democrats donāt give a damn about democracy either. They inserted Biden into the election without a proper primary (while the republicans were at least doing a show of it), but then realised that heās too old and inserted Kamela as the new candidate with no primary, which shows how they disregard the will of the electorate.
This caused voter disenfranchisement, leading to low voter turnout and handing the election over to Trump. Theyāll probably do it again, over their stance on Palestine - believe it or not - and itās kind of stupid.
He DOES say rhe stupidest things, regularly, and they clap.
You LIBTARDS are SO Stupid! He was OBVIOUSLY Joking!
-People who are going to Vote for his JOKING THIRD Term!
āOh no, he deported my Mexican wife that he joked about deporting!ā
Spoiler alert, everything that comes out of your mouth is the stupidest. And I would love it if someone would clap you upside your head.
I mean, he already does. Theyāre idiots, theyāll clap for anything said by anyone as long as they know someone they irrationally hate will suffer.
It is fascinating really, what kind of word spouted from trump so his supporter gonna jeer and give middle finger instead?
maybe when he speech about everybody need to be nice to each other ?
They booed him once. It was during COVID, he had spent the last 6 months calling it fake, but at some point for a brief moment he realized it was serious. He told everyone at his rally they needed to get the vaccine. The crowd turned on him quick.
And you know that he got that vaccine ASAP, since heās old and fat AF.
COULD???
You already do and they do, so yeah youāre right for once.
