Video Shows Exactly How Drumpf Feels About the Poor People Who Support Him: ‘They’re Morons’

Noah referenced a 1999 Maureen Dowd column in the New York Times, where Trump attacked poor people for being “morons.”

”My entire life, I’ve watched politicians bragging about how poor they are, how they came from nothing, how poor their parents and grandparents were. And I said to myself, if they can stay so poor for so many generations, maybe this isn’t the kind of person we want to be electing to higher office,” Trump told Dowd, adding, “How smart can they be? They’re morons.”

“Incredible. Donald Trump told a newspaper that he thinks poor people, the people now voting for him in droves, are morons,” Noah remarked. “That’s like something a cartoonishly evil comic book villain would say.”

Noah sadly admitted that this discovery will do nothing to dent Trump’s support with poor and angry Americans, but he wanted them to know that the candidate doesn’t care about their needs.
