Let's Face It, President* Trump Intentionally Appeals To Stupid People
Sometimes it seems that Donald Trump enjoys manipulating the outrage of morons. Now I am not going to say that every Trump supporter is a moron, or is easily manipulated, but let's face it, that is the gist of it.
There was something of a 'thing' this past week where Trump supporters and the conservative media jumped on a 'bandwagon' of sorts where it was claimed that the mainstream media, which the President* calls fake news, had a bad week. There was a mistaken story about when (what time period) Trump instructed Gen. Flynn to contact the Russians about the sanctions issue. There were one or two other things the mainstream media got wrong during the week. To the Trumpsters, and their conservative media leaders, this is proof that Trump is right and liberals and the media are wrong.
But here's the thing. Here's the thing Trumpsters and Trump sympathizers and "both sides" ers who want to give him the benefit of the doubt, ---- we CAN KNOW that Donald Trump plays all of you for a fool, intentionally, right in your face, and likely secretly enjoys the fact that he can tell you anything and you believe and/or accept it.
The other night at his rally in Pensacola Florida, in the midst of a period when his followers are flush with indignation about the mainstream media "lying" about Trump, Trump stood on that stage and told a brazen lie to his audience and everyone who heard it on video afterwards.
"They will lie and leak and smear because they don't want to accept the results of an election where we won by a landslide."
There is not a single honest metric where one could say Trump won by a landslide in the 2016 election. He LOST the popular vote by almost three million votes. His margin of victory in the electoral college ranks 19th out of the 25 presidential elections held in the past 100 years.
There was no "landslide" , in fact , in the states credited with providing his winning margin in the EC, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, the results were extremely close.
There was no Trump landslide, yet he says it , twice, in a speech where he is talking about "fake news" .
Trump, thinks, no, knows, many of his supporters will believe anything he says. And he intentionally tries to make them look stupid. AND IT WORKS !

A thing was made yesterday about a reporter mistakenly "lying" about the size of trump's audience in Pensacola. (The reporter , in a non work tweet, showed a picture of the stadium that was taken prior to the arrival of much of the crowd. )
In response , a reporter from the Toronto Star tweeted that Trump has lied about or mistakenly commented on the size of his crowds 22 times this year .
The reporters demand the President be honest, there is nothing wrong with the President demanding the reporters be honest. But it seems that is something the left leaning liberal drama queens just can't seem to get right. CNN admitted they were making up stories, MSNBC called out for misinformation, now that reporter who, imagine that, works for a left leaning skid mark liberal rag. And they don't see the trend. I guess not, it's not in crayon so they would understand.
Donald Trump lies everyday, usually multiple times a day. There is only one of him and he could easily control it. There are hundreds of reporters and you would think their chances of making a mistake would be greater just by the numbers.
The extent that you guys will go to defend trump are breathtaking, but we are used to it by now.
Just like EVERY other politician like Obama, Clinton (both), Bush, Reagan, Ford, Kennedy (ALL of them).
It only falls short of your disdain for him.
Gee wiz, will ya look at that Trump, trumps everybody on lying.
I don't use the asterisk as a protest against the results of the election, I use it to indicate that he is not worthy of respect. And he's not.
Perhaps a more appropriate punctuation symbol would explain your disrespect more clearly. Here's why:
Uses of the asterisk
A lot of people have used the asterisk on Trump the way I did here. There is no issue with it.
But you're far more enlightened and educated than they are, John, and you know how to properly use an asterisk.
From Merriam Webster :
Definition of asterisk
Some people know the definition of an asterisk, Pat Wilson, which is what you provided. In my comment, I provided John Russell with where, how, when, and why one uses an asterisk.
You made an attempt to one-up me, but you don't get a gold star.
I get a platinum star, thank you.
The morons do seem to be waiting with baited breath for his next tweet so they can freak out about it. We seem to see the same people posting about them here on NT.
Moronic outrage? Pardon me, but I think your slip is showing.
You should address that to those who seed such garbage.
Brightens my day.
BF remains obsessed with Hillary Clinton. As the saying goes, she lives in his head. He has nothing to say about the idiot currently in the oval office though, which makes BF a Trumpster. That must sting when the realization dawns on him.
So does Bernie Sanders. So does Al Sharpton. So do Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Rachel Maddow.
Manipulating the outrage of morons is a proven vote winner for politicians and a proven money maker for TV personalities.
