Trump Says ‘Smart People Don’t Like Me’ - Lemmy.World

Why aren’t the people who love him going, “Heeeey!” Or do they know they’re dumb? That would mean that Miller, Bannon, Zuck, Guiliani, Theil, etc. are being called dumb and are okay with that.
They’re too dumb to realize the implications of his comment.
He's insulted them all a lot more, and more personally, than that in the past, and they've just lapped it up and begged for more.
They’ve made intelligence offensive to their in-group. They’re proud to be unintelligent, and just the insinuation that something is “too smart” let’s them know it’s to be attacked.
There are smart people in trumps camp. Ambitious, unprincipled, unscrupulous, power hungry demogogues fully willing to use him for a leg up for power.
