Trump shocks observers by mocking his own supporters right to their faces: ‘Nobody has more contempt for Trump’s fans than Trump’
President Donald Trump’s comments mocking his own fans at a rally in Tennessee on Saturday left critics truly stunned.
Speaking at a rally in Clarksville, TN, the president called out his followers — accusing them of blindly supporting him no matter what he says.
“It’s amazing,” Trump told his audience. “When you stand up here, it’s just like…the love. I could say the stupidest things and you’d clap. ‘Oh, I love you so—’ It’s true.”
Some observers likened the remark to a 2016 comment he made in Iowa — insisting there was nothing he could do to lose support.
“I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK?”
The president’s mockery of his biggest backers directly to their faces left critics gobsmacked. Here is a sampling of the reaction on social media:
