He's entertaining his cult by being the nastiest, grossest, immature pile of garbage

Trump isn't giving political speeches, even by his own low standards. He's just entertaining his cult by being the nastiest, grossest, immature pile of garbage on the planet.

And they are LOVING IT.

Biden inspires the best in people. That’s what it comes down to for me.

He's acting like a standup comic. He isn't talking about policy or accomplishments. He's just throwing out insults and leading chants.

policy implementation his entire 4 years as President, other than the tax cut. Everything else has failed or was a total joke.

He did get a peace deal between Israel and a couple countries that never attacked Israel and had no intent of ever doing so.

He picks up on whatever the crowd likes and then doubles down. Yes, like a standup comic, a really bad, undisciplined standup comic. I think he likes seeing how gross and off-the-wall he can get away with.

...his crudeness and lack of class appealing.

When it is said that he is appealing to his base, there is no doubt. He appeals to people’s most base inclinations.

Are nasty, vile, gross, immature pieces of garbage themselves. Trump's only appeal is to that of the lowest common denominator. And right now he's just proving low he won't stoop to.

Trump is laughingly mirroring them back to themselves. He is “That Guy” in every measure.

If he has not already pulled the mic off the stand, held it to his hind quarters and passed a juicy sounding one, he will. They will cheer.

He'd belch the alphabet if he could remember what comes after "b".
