Trump continues to sink to lowest common denominator

Editor:

On September 14, 2025 during a speech at his Bedminster, NJ golf club, Donald Trump publicly said: “smart people don’t like me.” It’s taken nearly 80 years but Donald Trump has finally said something that he and Democrats can fully agree.

Even after years of characterizing his supporters as “the very poorly educated,” this man continues to openly insult you to your faces and you still just don’t get it.

Is he right as he apparently is about everything? If it’s not the smart people who like him, then who does? At least Hillary didn’t call you stupid.

Anything and everything about Donald Trump sinks to the lowest common denominator of humanity. The only creatures in the entire biosphere beneath him are those who secretly know it’s true and in like-minded circles celebrate it.

Oh, by the way, how about those MAGA farmers down in Brookland, Arkansas last week pleading for a government bailout on TV?

It seems Trump’s tariffs have made Brazil’s soybeans and corn cheaper in China so it’s up to the American taxpayer to make up the difference. Now that’s rich … sounds a little “wokey” if you ask me.

These are the same people who cried blood about giving a hungry kid a sandwich in school but down on the farm, as they say, socialism is quite the new “Republican core value.”  Remember those?

Me neither.

“As you have treated the poor, so have you treated Me.”
