Donald J. Trump’s insult machine has pelted victims far and wide.
Now he has taken aim at the very people who support him.
Trump said the following — at a Christian school in Iowa, no less: It was that he could “shoot someone” while standing the middle of Fifth Avenue (I presume the one in New York City) and not lose the support of his followers.
Take a moment to digest that.
Those who support him, Trump said in effect, are so blindly loyal that their candidate could commit a felony and they’d still vote for him for president of the United States.
Some of my social media friends and acquaintances appear to be avid Trumpsters. They chide me for making anti-Trump statements on my blog or on Twitter. I don’t mind being needled for my opposition to his presidential candidacy.
It’s fair to ask, though: Are they really that blindly loyal to someone who would presume such a thing about them?
