Trump Thinks His Supporters Are Stupid

At a campaign rally in New Hampshire on Monday, Donald Trump showed just how much disdain and how little respect he has for his supporters by lying to their faces about who is paying for his border wall. Trump claimed that he’s using “redemption money” from illegal aliens to pay for the wall, but no such thing actually exists. He thinks his supporters are stupid, and if they stick with him, then he’s right. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

So yesterday Donald Trump traveled to New Hampshire because for some reason he feels the need to travel to every state that the Democrats are going to, but nonetheless goes to New Hampshire, throws a rally and shows his supporters just how stupid he thinks they are. We all know at this point that Donald Trump's wall is being paid for with the military budget that he was able to secure by declaring a national emergency down on our Southern border. Right? That, that's common knowledge at this point. That's where he got the money. But that didn't stop him from going in front of those supporters last night and lying to their faces about where that money's coming from and in the process invented a new term. Here it is.

Everybody knows the wall is going up. So what's happening, you know, you do know who's paying for the wall don't you? Right. Redemption from illegal aliens that are coming in. The redemption money is paying for the wall. They are so sad to hear that.

Yes, folks, redemption money, which nobody in the government seems to know what exactly that is because they've never heard of that. Donald Trump literally made up that term to have something fancy to say to those people in the crowd, and it's not because I think they're stupid. It's because he thinks that they are stupid. As I mentioned, we all know where the money for the wall is coming from. It's coming from the military budget. He had declared a national emergency for the sole purpose of being able to use those emergency funds in the military budget. There were big court battles over this and that's where the money came from. Most of it, but I can promise you $0 of the wall fund has come from redemption money from illegal aliens. How would that even work? Right?

When we deport somebody, do we say all right, and also hand over all the cash you have on you. Give me everything you got. Go, go work in the fields for a couple of days and then we're going to deport you so we can take some money, you know, to, to redeem. That, that's not a thing that actually happens in this country. There is no such thing as redemption money. But nonetheless, what we saw last night was Donald Trump's disdain for his own base. He thinks so little of them that he was able to go in front of them, lie to their faces, and to their credit it didn't appear immediately that they all bought into this whole redemption money thing. Because after he said that, and he, you know, is waiting for applause. Everybody's just kinda like, well whoa, what? Redemption money, I don't know, I don't know what that is.
