    Any American with any self respect would never vote for him again. This is what Trump had to say about his supporters in the 110 degree Las Vegas heat where dozens suffered from heat stroke:

    “I don't want anybody going on me. We need every voter,” he said. “I don't care about you. I just want your vote.”

    We've been trying to explain this to some of you all along, but you still think he gives a rat's patoot about you. You need to wake up.

    At the risk of defending a horrible person he was being sarcastic.

    More likely he was speaking his truth in a sarcastic tone.

    And yet, it was likely the most honest thing he said all day.

    agree, while being sarcastic what he said is undoubtedly true.

    It didn’t sound sarcastic to me. He immediately realized what he said and then started to try get out in front of it by blaming the media. It really sounded like it just slipped out. I’d try to understand it in context if the rest of the speech wasn’t such an incoherent train wreck about sharks and other seemingly nonsensical things.

    it will be interesting if he wins. He’ll no longer need to worry about his voters.

    His disdain for his followers has persistently been mentioned.

    “But we've sat in these meetings. What is so frustrating and angering to me is he has nothing in common with any of his supporters and I detest the way he speaks about them. Like, when he would talk about them in meetings, it was so disparaging to them.” Olivia Troye, a former aide to former Vice President

    “The people Trump despises most love him the most,” said Howard Stern, who hosted Mr. Trump on-air for years, in May. His voters, Mr. Stern said, are people he would not want in his hotels. “He’d be disgusted by them,” he said. “Go to Mar-a-Lago, see if there’s any people who look like you. I’m talking to you in the audience.”

    In his recent memoir, the longtime Trump fixer Michael Cohen described the contempt with which his boss would speak about evangelical Christians, perhaps the president’s most durable corps of supporters. After a meeting with a group of pastors in 2011, Mr. Cohen says Mr. Trump asked him: “Can you believe this [expletive]?”

    No longer beholden to him he can whip them into a frenzy to go after his opponents, as he has already.

    In response to Trump saying he could give two shits about them, Trump supporters will respond by lashing out at the lefty media. Those cowards never have smoke for him, only for the media lol.

    The motto for each one of his rallies should be "Make America Gag Again."

    To save folks time, the sum of this partisan thread:

    If you are voting for Trump: It was sarcastic...
    If you voting for Biden: Trump is bad and so are his supporters...

    Agree with you that trump is bad. But not sure it’s inferred his supporters are bad. I believe it’s their mental acuity that was questioned.

    Mental acuity always but more importantly how deeply ingrained is their cult programming.
