Trump’s Opinion of His Supporters

Here’s an article that discusses Trump’s abhorrence of people stupid enough to follow his lead and keep him relevant in U.S. politics.  From the piece:

The best example is his detached, irresponsible and inept handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Hundreds of thousands of Americans died on his watch. He relied on conspiracy theories, magical thinking, blatant lies and distractions to fool the American public. Trump followers in red states have died in huge numbers because they erroneously and foolishly believed he was the benevolent master of their fate. Nothing could be further from the truth. He was, in fact, an accessory to murder. His supporters’ lives meant nothing to him.

Another example, the author claims, is the insurrection of January 6th.  Trump had incited the riot in a desperate attempt to overturn our democratic  process, then did nothing to quell it for hours, but watched it on TV from the White House.

An alarming new low here in the U.S.
