Donald Trump has always abhorred his supporters. He does not feel an ounce of empathy or affection for those who profess their devotion to him. He sees his supporters as weak, stupid and inferior. They are losers to him. He hates his supporters as much as he wants to destroy his detractors.
Actions speak louder than words. Just look at Trump's actions toward his supporters.
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 is Trump's incitement of the insurrection of the Capitol on Jan. 6. He was willing to overthrow democracy in order to remain in power. So he fabricated the Big Lie, knowing full well that his cult followers would carry out his anti-democratic mission. Was he on the front line with his supporters? Of course not — because he is a coward. He watched it all unfold on television as he cheered them on from the protected and comfortable surroundings of the White House. Trump wanted the election undermined and demanded that followers accomplish that goal. The result was failure, destruction, deaths, arrests and widespread condemnation. Trump has left his followers dangling in defeat. He has taken no responsibility for his incitement and has demonstrated no concern or remorse for his loyalists who face damaging legal consequences. He has thrown them under the bus because he detests them.
Millions of aggrieved Americans have tethered themselves to Trump's fake persona of superiority and strength. They think he is the answer to their prayers. They think he cares about their lot in life. They think he will remedy their grievances. But nothing could be further from the truth.
Trump is a shameless opportunist. He manipulates people to achieve his personal goals, then discards them. He does not care if his supporters are racists, felons, crooks or murderers. He does not care if they are xenophobes or misogynists. He will accept the support of anyone who will blindly follow his lead and put him on a pedestal — after all, exalted status is what he longs for. He desperately wants to be a dictator so that his grifting and corrupt impulses can run wild. And, remember, dictators only care about themselves and loathe people who expect anything from them.
Trump scorns those who are weak or foolish enough to need him. He does not want to be needed — he wants others to serve and satiate his needs. He thrives on their praise, adulation and unconditional loyalty. The whole concept of public service is foreign to him because he perceives every interaction is a transactional game that must be won. And winning, for him, inevitably means defeat and humiliation of the other person. In Trump's psyche, even his supporters need to be humiliated and defeated.
It is puzzling that Trump supporters have not realized that he does not give a damn about their grievances or station in life. His Republican Party literally has no platform or set of guiding principles — all that was abandoned during the 2020 campaign. Nor does the Republican Party have a single substantive policy initiative on the table. Other than conservative judicial appointments, Trump did absolutely nothing for his supporters during his miserable presidential term. Except, of course, to let them be killed by a virus and incite them to a failed overthrow of democracy.
Until Trump is gone and the Republican Party reinvents itself, Trump supporters are all alone to fend for themselves. Their cult leader is an illusion. He is a pied piper leading them only to destruction. He has brought them only pain and suffering and sold them a bill of goods consisting of lies and conspiracy theories.All because he despises his supporters. That's the best reason why they should dump him now, before he harms them even more.

Not surprised Trumplings want to hide from all the truth in this thread!

The rwnj Trump suckers will probably brush this off because it's Howard Stern, but the truth is that Howard Stern is one of Trump's best friends. Or was anyway.
And if anyone knows how Trump thinks and what he thinks of various groups of people, it would be Stern.
Trump despises working class, Confederate flag waving, pickup truck driving, NASCAR watching, gun obsessed, white trash redneck morons.
IOW, the average Trump supporter.
But they're so stupid, they just don't give a shit.
As long as he promises them nonsense like a wall across the southern border, etc.
C'MON MAN!!!!

You STILL after all this time completely fail to grasp what has happened since 2016. Its not about us liking Trump, or Trump caring about us. In fact things like that have nothing to do with it. Hate to do it but I gotta give the devil his credit. Michael Moore described we Trump voters the best IMO. He said that Trump was like a BOMB that we picked up and THREW at D.C! Donald....BLOW THAT BITCH UP!! Most of us could care less about Trump personally. He was just a blunt tool to be used. A sledgehammer. We HATE and DESPISE the corrupt system and want it utterly destroyed and rebuilt the way it was intended to be.

1st world problem post.
America is the greatest country the world has ever known. We live w/ freedoms and opportunity the likes of which no human throughout our history could even dream of.
So, tell me - what did Trump need to save you from? What do you want to do, that you're not able to do?

To idiots on the left, NOT being part of the Deep State corruption within DC and donating your entire $360K salary every year is the worst thing a President can do.
What a bunch of whiny losers.

You're right. I don't get it.
We live in an amazing, free country - where people can do anything they want to do. And yet many on the right talk like we're an oppressed nation that can only be fixed w/ a full-blown revolution.
It's an astounding disconnect from reality. I'd cry some tears for you guys, but they're already in use around the world, where unfortunately real oppression and lack of freedom still exist.
