"SNIP.............

Donald Trump’s onetime White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham told delegates at the Democratic convention that Trump, when out of the public eye, would mock his supporters and refer to them as “basement dwellers,” the Los Angeles Times reports.

She added: “On a hospital visit one time, when people were dying in the ICU, he was mad that cameras were not watching him. He has no empathy. No morals. And no fidelity to the truth.”

1. Even if we tell the cult Trump doesn't care about them

They'll just stuff their ears and bow to their orange god.

2. I have an awesome basement donald

It’s a cool place to hangout. And I dwell on empathy and morals and fidelity to the truth. And I don’t vote for you and your kind. And that makes me happy.

3. The heartless psychopath hates everyone.

He's one of the most shallow, nasty and egotistic empty shell to have ever lived.

4. Cassidy Hutchinson said something similar.

Of course he mocks his supporters. So do we. How do you not mock people who send countless millions of dollars to a self-proclaimed billionaire for his legal expenses.

5. I remember the hospital visit. It was during Covid and he was pissed he didn't get the media spotlight.

6. And none of them should be surprised

The guy has insulted them from day one.

What type of person would support a candidate who murdered an innocent person in broad daylight?

A shitty, basement dwelling, pathetic troll, that's who.

7. The basement is not the problem. I live in a basement

apartment. Rent is cheaper and I can live near downtown. For sure there are bars in the windows.

Reminds me of insult to people who live in trailer parks by the right. It is hate speech meant to 'other' non millionaires and non billionaires to the point where voters on the right will gleefully yank healthcare and upward mobility away from the basement apartment or trailer park dwellers.

8. Forgive me, I was thinking more along metaphorical lines

I couldn't care less what floor someone's apartment is on. I'm not sure that's what the term even refers to.

9. I get that you did not mean actual tenents. Just trolls.
