I’m waiting for the story to break that Trump thinks his own supporters are suckers and losers. It seems likely that Trump considers his MAGA-hatted crowds to be just a bunch of marks that he can con into cheering for him. How can a reality TV star not have contempt for his audience, when he knows the whole thing is an act? When do we get to hear what Trump says about all the people who cheer him on, in private?

My thoughts exactly. I see the occasional post from FB who are Trumpers, but so far it's been crickets about the disdain for the military. His supporters are the true suckers.

Now that is something that might tip the scales.

Did you mean to post a different link? This one doesn’t have anything about Trump disparaging his supporters, just about Howard Stern disparaging Trump supporters.

He's right...this is not unique to high-ranking Republicans...but among Republicans there is so much more of it, and it is so blatant...and Trump is the worst among them, and more vocal about it.

Correct, but it was discussed by Stern and I located the topic through Howard Stern.
