Trump calls his die-hard supporters "stupid "

“The sad part is it’s people who are really doing the Democrats’ work. They’re stupid people.” - Trump, 16 July 2025.

Remember when Republicans lost their collect shit when Hillary called them “deplorables?” (At least she didn’t question their intelligence! Although….)

His followers revel in their stupidity. They crow about their “common sense”, though, as if it didn’t take at least a little intelligence to know what is sensible and what isn’t.

They think intelligence and education are “elitist”. I’m sure they’ll lap up his dismissal of them and come galloping back for more.

Trump has probably been explained a lot of his base only shows up for him and so they have no value to him anymore. Killing the Epstein story, though, has huge value (apparently).
