from that article:

https://www.cleveland.com/expo/news/erry-2018/08/e178a851af7984/heres-who-we-saw-at-donald-tru.html

The two friends from the city of Delaware said they came out to the rally because they've never seen a president in person before. Asked about their shirts, Alicie (left) said he didn't understand why Trump is getting so much criticism about Russia when Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama weren't similarly scrutinized. Asked what he would tell Democrats, Alicie said, "To jump on board this train and give him a chance."

Not only are they stupid enough to think the shirts make them look clever, they're stupid enough to think that sort of thing will convince Dems to "jump on board" the Trump train and give Trump "a chance."
