Baffled by his own ‘corner store’ reference, Trump’s problems with groceries persist. The president can wax rhapsodic about his marble preferences and his affection for Corinthian columns. “Corner store,” however, left him badly confused. (MS NOW)
Many Trump voters feel that he represents their values and beliefs, particularly regarding issues like immigration and the economy, which they believe are under threat. This connection to their identity and concerns has been a significant factor in his appeal. (Cambridge University).
Yep, the millions of voters who decided that Trump was the “EVERYMAN” said proudly that Trump understood them, knew them, and related to them. It mattered not that Trump was a billionaire, supported by billionaires, a con, a felon, a fraud; nope, Trump was America personified, or maybe it was, as Trump proudly expressed out loud the same hate, bigotry, and racism that his supporters had secretly kept hidden. They found a leader who verbalized their own insecurities, and finally, they, too, could be proud to hate and prouder of their ignorance.
Oh MY Goodness, their role model, their idol, was nothing but a sham, a false idol, a snake-oil salesman who successfully fooled the already stupid into believing his words and ignoring the reality in which they lived.
Trump was angry that one of his Propagandist writers had the audacity to pretend to think that Trump, the man of the people, would connect with words like mom and pop, and corner store. Aloof, perhaps, senile most likely, arrogant, of course, and a bit demented, Trump announced out loud that he had no idea what the words corner store meant.
But hey, no worries, because you voted for Trump because of one thing and one thing only, he gave you permission to HATE, to LOATHE the OTHER, to feel SUPERIOR. What a bunch of MAGA minions, mindless and meaningless!
