Trump insults his supporters once again. [View all]

First there was the comment about not losing a voter even if he shot someone in the middle of a crowded street. His supporters must be just beaming with pride about that.

And now this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-supporters-violent_us_5854c489e4b08debb7896896. Of course, some I suppose will take what he's saying as a compliment.

Excerpt:

“You people were vicious, violent, screaming, ‘Where’s the wall? We want the wall!’ Screaming, ‘Prison! Prison! Lock her up!’ I mean you are going crazy. I mean, you were nasty and mean and vicious and you wanted to win, right?” said Trump, speaking from an outdoor stage at the Florida fairgrounds.

“But now, you’re mellow and you’re cool and you’re not nearly as vicious or violent, right? Because we won, right? Now you’re sort of laying back ... you’re basking in the glory of victory.”


It's a cult. Trump has created a cult. And the mainstream media continues to normalize it.
