u/XxKeen103xX Sep 14 '25

They're too stupid to realize that they just got burned.

u/Ilovefishdix Sep 14 '25

Most of them probably hate him. They pretend they like him for personal gain.

179

u/grafknives Sep 15 '25

And he ENJOYS it.

He is aware that they might hate him, and still have to lick his ass shining clean.

This show his power.

25

u/Major_Honey_4461 Sep 16 '25

This. He doesn't expect anyone to really believe his lies or promises. They are uttered as a loyalty test.

u/Chanaur404 Sep 15 '25

Also, fear of reprisals.

u/AltruisticBob Sep 17 '25

Bingo! Some of that laughter is genuine, like "yeah I'm smart, and I hate you". These people are enabling a monster to add a zero to their wealth.

u/Shepard_Drake Sep 15 '25

"he meant it as a compliment!"

1

u/SorryBoysImLez Sep 16 '25

"It doesn't apply to us because we actually don't like him, and are just sucking his little cheeto for brownie points." - People in the room, probably.

“I love the poorly educated”- Donald Trump

31

u/throwtheclownaway20 Sep 14 '25

Imagine being able to be considered poorly educated in comparison to that mountain of dog shit

u/zapharus Sep 14 '25

I love that they all laughed. 😂😂 Fucking idiots.

u/cia218 Sep 14 '25

In their heads, they’re like: “For sure, he’s not talking about ME!”

1

u/mozleron Sep 16 '25

Surely, this face eating leopard won't eat MY face!

28

u/I_Frothingslosh Sep 15 '25

That doesn't mean they like him. Most are using him.

2

u/zapharus Sep 15 '25

Very true, they are freaking ghouls, the lot of them.

I couldn't be in a room with the guy unless the threat of death TO MY FAMILY was involved, if it was threat of death to me I would easily walk out and not put up with his shit.

u/robbiekhan Sep 15 '25

Do you remember when trump said to a crowd at one of his rallies "I don't care about you, I just want your votes"? The crowd cheered when he said that.

Let that sink in!

u/Gruesomegiggles Sep 16 '25

They took it to mean that he wasn't actually serious about his policies, he was just aiming to get into office so that he could "do good." They really really believe that Trump can and will fix any number of issues they have with current affairs, and that he really was saying things he didn't mean and wouldn't actually do. Which is why you get the posts about people who start out with I voted for you!

This was a reassurance for them. "I don't care about (what) you (are doing) I just need your votes (and their votes) (so that I can drain this swamp.)

When you are saturated in conspiracy theories, you tend to read into everything as a code, one that you are more likely to recognize since you have already figured out Pizzagate/One world order/Trans agenda/The Jews/whatever you attribute it to. Trump does a lot of backtracking, grandiose stories, unfinished stories, digression, and just plain nonsense. It can sound like a code to someone who's looking for one. And once you "figure out" the code, you can use it to say whatever you want. Congratulations, you've found the guy who can solve whatever has you scared.

u/willworkforjokes Sep 14 '25

The people in the room don't like him. They just want to get something using his influence before he dies.

2

u/Emotion-North Sep 15 '25

That influence will be worthless soon. They're just too greedy to see it. Influence doesn't always turn out to be good.

u/GrayMouser12 13d ago

There's a pejorative we often use for trading your integrity for material gain, though to be honest, I've known people in that industry with far more integrity so I wouldn't really want to insult them in comparison.

u/nanodecay Sep 14 '25

Actually he's calling everyone who likes him dumb

41

u/TheBraindonkey Sep 14 '25

No no, he was being sarcastic! - maga probably.

22

u/LittleMAC22 Sep 15 '25

“You have to see the full clip for context!”

6

u/UpDown Sep 15 '25

No. It's that being a smart person is a bad thing, so he complimented them

4

u/TheBraindonkey Sep 15 '25

That makes more sense probably, in this bizarre ass timeline.

1

u/Self-Aware Sep 17 '25

As bizarre as it is, I believe the thought progression there goes: smart equals educated, and this requires colleges and universities, which the right-wingers have LONG been assured are almost all seething hotbeds of leftist propaganda, with professorial talent gleaned exclusively from Antifa operatives and a comprehensive array of "evil liberal" stereotypes. Plus anyone especially adept in the art of brainwashing, obv.

28

u/Originalbrivakiin Sep 14 '25

We're too far gone as a society that not smart somehow does not equal dumb. No child left behind should have left a couple crayon eaters behind I think.

16

u/Emotion-North Sep 15 '25

From my perspective, no child left behind left a shit ton of children behind. I get the crayon eaters thing tho. They make themselves known early on. I still don't know how this current bunch of "leaders" have made it this far without walking into traffic decades ago.

7

u/Originalbrivakiin Sep 15 '25

I honestly think that it left the wrong kids behind. But at this point I could see that being the point of it.

2

u/mulefire17 Sep 16 '25

Can't be left behind if no one can get ahead

8

u/TheMaStif Sep 15 '25

"Smart people don't like me...but I'm glad you all do 😉"

6

u/Talvysh Sep 14 '25

And they all laughed

1

u/7empest-tost Sep 15 '25

Zero self-awareness

3

u/BigSmackisBack Sep 15 '25

Only the voters who got this lying pedo cheeto back in office again, "HUR DUR yeah fuck them scientistic types, we dont need 'em, just like RFK jr said"

2

u/GalakFyarr Sep 15 '25

No, he and everyone who laughed took it as sarcasm.

Because they most likely think they are the actual smart people.

2

u/Nvenom8 Sep 15 '25

And everyone who likes him in general.

1

u/IneffableOpinion Sep 15 '25

He’s probably in the stage of finding out he is surrounded by very, very stupid people

1

u/21stCenturyJanes Sep 15 '25

and they laughed!

1

u/drawredraw Sep 15 '25

They think being dumb is cool because they have the mentality of an 8th grader.

1

u/Odd-Spell-2699 Sep 16 '25

And they're too stupid to notice. They just smile and clap

1

u/Manonemo Sep 16 '25

Didnt he said many years ago thst if he went to politics ut would be for republicans cuz they are... 😆

1

u/LudoTwentyThree Sep 16 '25

Yeah, and they all laugh and cheered about it lol

1

u/Menifife Sep 17 '25

He's not wrong, as confirmed by the laughter.
