    Olivia Troye, a former aide to ex-Vice President Mike Pence, on Tuesday detailed the contempt with which holds his supporters.

    Troye, appearing on ABC’s “The View,” said Trump ― who has been accused of demeaning his fans before ― had “done a great job of sort of marketing himself as the champion for all of these people who are behind him in this movement.” But in private meetings, she said, he was “so disparaging” of them.

    “What is so frustrating and angering to me is the fact he has nothing in common with any of his supporters and I detest the way he speaks about them,” she explained.

    Troye acknowledged how her own Trump-supporting relatives were “very unhappy” with her for turning against the twice-impeached, four-time-indicted ex-POTUS. “I think about them and I’m like, ‘I hate the way you speak about them sometimes behind closed doors,’” she said.

    Ex-Pence Aide Recalls What Trump Said About MAGA Fans In Private. It's Not Good.

    I know this won't stop MAGA fans from stanning Trump, but here's a quick reminder that he hates you.

    It is beyond ludicrous if you believe that any politician gives half a fart about their followers(except to keep their votes), much less the population in general.

    It’s pretty obvious that you have not had dealings with “public officials” before.

    I think it’s ludicrous to claim that of each and every politician.

    Interesting. How are farts measured? That’s a new one to me. Do some politicians give 3/4 of a fart on some issues, and others 1/4 of a fart? Or do they all just fail to give 1/2 farts?

    Half a fart was only meant to be a reference to less than a turd.

    But you go on believing that these shitheads care about people. It is your right to be foolish if that is what you want.

    Come on. You don’t know and neither do I about percentages. But my instinct that most people are good people who try to do their jobs well. And that goes for all the most-criticized roles: politicians, police, media, teachers ….

    I agree that most if not all go into it to help. But Washington gets its claws into you. You change. You wish to stay in power, the constituency falls down the list. If Congress was good people trying to do a good job, they would unanimously pass the law restricting themselves from trading stocks while they are in office. They would unanimously propose term limits on themselves.

    I’m not referring to police, media, or teachers. I’m referring only to politicians, of which I have dealt with many at the municipal, state, and federal level.

    If it makes you feel better, let’s just say that 75% are bad. Since you think all Republicans are corrupt, we only have to reach a little to get you concede that half of the Dems are.

    One easy way to figure this out is look at the salaries of someone like Biden over his 50 years and ask yourself; “how did he get so wealthy”? It’s really no different (probably worse) at the municipal level.

    Oh joy... another worthless river dance foray into some utterly inane meaningless micro splice nuance about a useless angle designed to detract from patent meaning of a post...

    You bring so much to the bored!

    Right here
    That you got a “come on man” for writing that your instinct is that most people are good makes my mind wobble.

    Speaking of added value to the “bored”. Got any updates for us on those 2000 mules?

    You were/are in the defense contracting business right? Why are you disparaging the very people that enriched you? Talk about biting the hand that feeds!

    Some things like term limits are simply a matter of opinion, not a clear cut good/bad. But I do agree that Congress does seem to corrupt in that posturing dysfunction seems to take priority over simply trying to do well.
    I do think the presidents since Nixon and until Trump have been good people who tried to do what they thought was best for the country and with a respect for the people. GWB seemed intellectually detached, but Carter, Reagan, GHWB, Clinton and Obama would fall into that category.

    As I've said before, I think the claim that "all politicians are like that" seems mostly an attempt to excuse the worst of them. Like Trump.:cool:

    LOL at feral partisans who think the politicians they vest their hopes in - and cling to for solace - actually like them.
