    I’m sure his people told him and he just didn’t listen, like how he didn’t even read his daily briefs when he was in office. Or maybe they’ve all realized he never listens anyway so no one bothers anymore.

    Oh man, that video was a painful watch. He then immediately switched to directly calling Kamala a communist and a Marxist. It is absolutely insane that there aren’t more people walking out on him when he insults his audience’s intelligence like that.

      Firstly, they must have some intelligence to insult.

          I assume that the people’s whose intelligence is being insulted is trump’s base- by telling those blatant and self evident lies.

          We all know she’s not Marxist. But trump likes telling his base she is. (And they’re stupid enough to believe him.)

        Whilst harris is closer to marx than trump, she is still in safe distance from communism.

          Yes. We know that.

          We’re not his audience, though. His base is his audience. And yes, they’re eating that shit up.

        My mindset is that these people were tricked, and fell in far too deep. It’s like sunk cost fallacy: "I can’t say I’m wrong now, I’ve been the laughingstock of the family for 8 years! This time I’ll show 'em!

          Eh I think it’s actually a little more sinister than that, I perceive a lot of these people as victims of a new type of cold war - cyber warfare including propaganda and election interference. Many of them have visible or otherwise obvious disabilities, genuinely. That they lack certain cognitive skills is exactly why they fell victim to this. And then once those people, the easy marks, started flocking there, all the other predators came after them too. It’s kinda sickening. Disabled people are one of the most abused groups of people along with children and the elderly.

          Everyone deserves a vote and deserves to go to town halls and other campaign events. However there should really be something done about predatory practices done by campaigns and people who attend campaign events. They aren’t supposed to be there to sell books, they’re supposed to be earning votes and proposing policy. Anything aside from that should be scrutinized at minimum.

    You just can’t find good help these days after surrounding yourself with yes-men, repeatedly firing your staff, implicating them in your crimes, insulting and harassing them, and spending all week golfing and eating cheeseburgers instead of preparing for campaign events.
