Trump Finally Admits What He Thinks of His Supporters



Donald Trump revealed exactly how he feels about his supporters at his campaign rally in Las Vegas.

“The press will take that and they’ll say ‘he said a horrible thing,” Trump accurately predicted after telling supporters in Nevada on Sunday, “I don’t care about you. I just want your vote. I don’t care.”



The comments came as Trump remarked on a passing breeze during a scorching outdoor rally in Las Vegas where temperatures climbed above 100 degrees. Six people were hospitalized, and 24 more were treated by EMTs on-site for heat-related illness. Sunday’s rally followed a similar event in Arizona on Thursday where at least 11 people were hospitalized for heat exhaustion, which Team Trump wrote off as “enthusiasm.”

Trump’s recent rallies, which either occur outdoors or involve long lines outside waiting to be let in, have been punctuated by people boiling in the sun. Team Trump has taken no efforts to mitigate the heat for his followers—and in fact booked the Nevada rally after his supporters collapsed in Arizona. This comes despite the fact that a third of Trump’s supporters are those most sensitive to heat.

This is logical, as you can't be a morbid narcissist and care about anyone else whether they be supporter or not.

*rump's track record also bares this out as former members of his administration and close circle that have since tried to warn the public against giving him the reins of power again have broken all historical records in number.

He definitely thinks of his supporters as chumps and suckers. Maga: “He doesn’t care about me, he just wants my vote. That just makes me wanna vote for him more.”
