Team Trump Brags About Letting Supporters Pass Out From Heat Stroke at Phoenix Rally

https://newrepublic.com/post/182449/team-trump-brags-supporters-heat-stroke-arizona

Team Trump boasted about people “braving” extreme heat in Arizona while waiting to watch Trump ramble incoherently at a campaign rally for over an hour on Thursday, making no mention that at least 11 people collapsed and were hospitalized for heat exhaustion. “That’s an enthusiasm that Joe Biden will never see,” Trump’s newsletter proclaimed of the crowds stuck roasting on unshaded concrete. “That’s the enthusiasm Americans have to Make America Great Again!”

The intense loyalty to Trump from his supporters—largely elderly and more prone to heat stroke—is a disturbing example of how far his extremist base is willing to suffer just for a glimpse of their dear leader. Their queasy dedication speaks to the religious fervor cultivated by Trump who touts himself as a messiah who has come to save the masses from the satanic swamp, a Jesus preaching gobbledygook from the mountaintop of Dream City megachurch in Phoenix. On Friday, Trump boasted about a song that refers to him as “the chosen one”—words he has explicitly said in the past.

That Team Trump apparently took no measures to meet its base’s most basic human needs amid an anticipated high of 108 degrees on Thursday—neither handing out water nor setting up cooling tents in anticipation of the heat—and instead touted their suffering as “enthusiasm” speaks to the level of appreciation Trump has for those who support him, which is to say obviously none.

And psychopaths like Trump get off on the devotion. People ready to die for the pos.

Reminds me of the scene from Conan when Thulsa Doom (same initials in reverse) calls two of his zombie cult worshippers to him and they step off a cliff.. sorry fkrs.

All they need is loyalty in red state legislatures and Secretaries of State. Since Democrat fraud is a foregone delusion, the voters can all be baked to a savory medium-well with no risk to the planned selection!

their voters will never be needed again, anymore than Russia, NKorea, China, etc need voters.

Their new Fascist Government will drive everyone below the Top 1% down to being serfs and peasants, including those 70+ Million TrumpHumpers. All of which are to stupid to realize or even think about that.....

Instead of USA, our beloved country will be re-named....... Corporate Fascists of America.....

the majority, they are not. Plus, they are cult overdosing on hate and propaganda. And the Putin propaganda machine is spewing it out on the gullible 24/7 on a number of years.

And those who follow that convicted felon will be going down too.
