Imagine if trumpy was caught on a hot mic like that. His followers really don't know just how much he looks down on them and loathes them....

I was thinking more along the lines of what Rhodes got caught saying about his own supporters in the movie:

Those morons out there? Shucks, I could take chicken fertilizer and sell it to them as caviar. I could make them eat dog food and think it was steak. Sure, I got 'em like this... You know what the public's like? A cage of Guinea Pigs. Good Night you stupid idiots. Good Night, you miserable slobs. They're a lot of trained seals. I toss them a dead fish and they'll flap their flippers.

He called Alex Jones of Infowars a day after the election to express gratitude and asking to extend that gratitude to his listeners, that without them, a Trump presidency wouldn't be possible.
Trump shares a lot with Lonesome Roads, but not the self-loathing.

but Howard Stern recently made a comment about trump (I guess they were somewhat friendly back in the old days when he was a frequent guest?) and it made me think otherwise:

“The oddity in all of this is the people Trump despises most, love him the most,” said Stern on Tuesday. “The people who are voting for Trump, for the most part … He wouldn’t even let them in a f*cking hotel. He’d be disgusted by them. Go to Mar-a-Lago, see if there’s any people who look like you. I’m talking to you in the audience.”
