Trump calls children of struggling farmers spoiled, rotten brats. I wonder how many farmers will STILL vote for him.

(1,207 posts)During the Sunday event in Austin, Texas, Trump asked, Is there anybody here that does not love their children and does not want to leave their beautiful farm to their children?
He continued, Cmon, you have guts. Farmers have a lot of guts, cmon. You mean theres not one person who dislikes their children because theyre brats. Cause theyre spoiled rotten brats? Ok, well thats a pretty good group of people. Well, thats the farmers for you, right? Thats the farmer. But think about that. People were wanting to pass along their farm.

(55,002 posts)and of course no one said yes. he didn't say their kids were spoiled. context matters even when discussing the asshole and his antics.

(56,828 posts)but, I agree that Trump really isn't calling the kids spoiled rotten brats... he may be projecting about his own kids, but i don't think he was calling the farmers that.

(24,652 posts)and possibly his own. But he wasn't saying what the tweet claims he was saying.
CrispyQ
(36,413 posts)describe the farmers' heirs as "spoiled, rotten brats," because we don't think they should inherit daddy's farm tax free.
I think spoiled rotten fits. Why is it never socialism when the wealthy get big breaks?
Kali
(55,002 posts)because of the land base. if the land it for development they would indeed be rich, but to keep it in ag? not so much. this is more complex than some huge profitable business being inherited by shitty kids like drumpf's own spawn.

And seeing many defend it too, which is astounding.

(18,111 posts)He asked if there was anybody in the audience who didn't want to leave their farm to their kids because they were spoiled, rotten brats. It's obvious that he wasn't saying that farm kids were spoiled, rotten brats.

(22,056 posts)People are realizing more and more what a literal moron he truly is. One of his former advisors said as much, the head of a major oil company said this (moron). I'd think that Rex Tillerson (ExxonMobil) would know what he's talking about. I think that he probably regrets his decision to quit at ExxonMobil and go work in the rump admin., especially after he found out that rump is a MORON. That's good in a way, that supposedly smart people fell for rump's con...no more.
rump is constantly having to replace personnel, etc., being that he is so incompetent and a disaster waiting to happen. Who would in their right mind work for such a reckless person, who admitted lying all of the time finally? You can't trust him one bit.

(70,033 posts)I listened to the video.. No doubt trumpy will say he was just joking. But since trump projects so often--it is his 3 adult kids who are spoiled rotten brats --ivanka, jr. and eric.
The farmers who are solidly members of his cult will continue to support him. They can't see past their MAGA blindfolds. *sigh*

(2,447 posts)it was in the context of a question to them about leaving their farms to their children. It was a rhetorical question,not a statement.
Watch the video with the sound on.

(721 posts)Get people to agree with you at least 3 times, to small things, even if they're absurd or obvious examples. This establishes a level of trust on a subconcious level (we're talking about an audience with low critical thinking skills here). They're far more likely to agree with you on issues that follow.

Those credit card debts need to be paid by somebody after all.

(24,652 posts)While I want to choke even thinking about defending Trump, the tweet is inaccurate. We don't need to be spreading false characterizations. He gives us enough rope to hang him without having to twist his actual words once in awhile.

(6,699 posts)His cult is enamored with this foul mouthed, degenerate ass hole. He could insult their mother, and they wouldn't see it. Red ameriKKKa is lost. It's time to move on. We aren't going to convince them they are standing in a vat of shit up to their neck. They think this schmuck is "their kind of guy".
