By Matt Underwood Candace Owens: ‘Trump thinks his base is stupid’ – the crux of the matter, isn’t it? The revelation, if we can call it that, seems to be hitting people from all directions, including Candace Owens herself. It’s a sentiment that, according to the discussions, is widely shared. The general consensus seems to be that it’s not just a suspicion; it’s a recognized fact.
The core argument, the thing that keeps bubbling to the surface, is that Trump is aware of the perceived intellectual shortcomings of his supporters. The constant repetition of “He knows” suggests that it’s not simply a matter of opinion, but a strategic understanding on Trump’s part. The phrase “he loves the poorly educated” re-surfaces, directly referencing a known quote from Trump himself, seemingly solidifying the point.
The conversation takes on a sharp, often critical tone, with some comments veering into insult territory. The use of words like “dumbest,” “stupid,” and “fools” leaves little room for interpretation. It’s a harsh assessment of the base, painting them as easily manipulated and lacking in critical thinking skills. There’s a strong sense of derision, as if the very act of supporting Trump is proof enough of intellectual failings.
The discussion includes Candace Owens, too. The implication here is that by becoming a part of that base, she’s inadvertently included herself. Her eventual awakening to this perceived reality, therefore, becomes a moment of irony and even some humor, given her history. The implication is that she is also now admitting to her own “stupidity”.
The argument also broadens to include the motivations of the base, and the reasons they would support someone like Trump. Some believe that a lack of information, a blind adherence to the Republican “R”, or a predisposition towards ignorance fuels their support. There’s the suggestion of an emotional component, a parallel drawn to the entertainment world, with people cheering on a “bad-guy” wrestler.
One comment explicitly mentions the Russian media’s perception of Trump’s voters, further illustrating the sentiment that it’s a widely held belief, not just a domestic one. It reinforces the idea that Trump’s base is seen as something of an international joke, easy to manipulate.
The discussion also touches upon the financial aspects of the relationship. “The grift never stops,” one person comments, suggesting that Trump is actively exploiting his base for personal gain. This introduces the idea that the relationship is not simply a matter of political allegiance but a financial transaction, with Trump profiting from the loyalty of his supporters.
There’s a dismissive tone towards “MAGA, MAGA personalities, Fox,” painting them as “QVC infomercial con artists,” furthering the idea of a manipulated audience and a self-serving operation. The comments seem to be highlighting the hypocrisy and opportunism of those who take advantage of the base’s vulnerabilities.
The conversation wraps up with a sense of finality, reiterating the common theme that Trump not only thinks his base is stupid, but he *knows* it. The acceptance of this idea is followed by a sharp critique of the base itself. The last comments are less focused on Trump and are about the base itself, thus driving home the core argument that the entire world thinks Trump’s base is stupid.
