Trump says "Smart people don't like me" Now, follow SLOWLY MAGA. If people DO like him, what is the unstated implication? Take your time?

[DrPepper12]

Yes he said this. TODAY!!

I don't understand. Wut?

Trump LOVES me! Same as the stripper! It's LOVE!!

Fuckin MAGAs. Played like a 2 bit whore on Spring Break

JFC. It's a cult. I've got no words.

This is taken out of context. FAKE NEWS!

You libtards can't understand he speaks his mind!

Just here for the erudite debate & exchange of ideas...

[OneViewpoint]

Dunning Kruger explains it all. MAGA people lack the cognitive tools to even recognize when they are being insulted in the most obvious ways possible. It is their defining personality trait that explains all the hate, toxic religion, and treason.

[BonzoInBitburg]

That's because smart people know what he is. There are plenty of us on the right that that know he isn't a conservative or even close.

[seeyounexttuesday]

Smart people would know he was joking and wouldn’t fall for lefty propaganda but here you are.

[BonzoInBitburg]

@seeyounexttuesday Smart people know that when government starts taking a stake in businesses like Intel and MP Materials, free market capitalism starts to die. And taking 15% of profits from Intel and AMD sales to China is clearly government extortion. Watching the President try to control the Fed's monetary policy, you'll realize that Trump is starting to mirror how China manages their economy. If you're like me and have done some business in China in manufacturing, you probably recognize this too. These aren't conservative policies, this is a march to socialism. I don't read "lefty propaganda" I only read financial news and I'll profit from this but unfortunately, most won't. Follow the money because it's leaving the US. His policies are for sheep, just like China.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@BonzoInBitburg - ah, so now we change the subject after you made a fool of yourself.

And this isn't ideal, I agree. But I'm sure you were silent when Obama took control of the banks.

[BonzoInBitburg]

@seeyounexttuesday Change the subject? WTF?

Obama had the worst financial policy until Trump's 2nd term. The economy never grew more than 3% in his 8 years.

[BonzoInBitburg]

Trump is neither pro business, a free market capitalist, nor conservative and smart people recognize this. He considered the most socialist president of our time in financial circles.

[DrPepper12]

Bonzo is correct. And a great 🥁 er

[Awesomesauce2005]

@seeyounexttuesday I agree

“Smart people don’t like me, you noticed? They don’t like what we talk about. He’s been radicalized”.

https://www.youtube.com/embed/h3mT4wyDAA0

In Caste System days of Feudal Europe , thoughts were seen as dangerous to the scheme. So The Church would teach people that if you break your backs in the field and live in poverty with your diseases , you might be reincarnated in the next life as a Rich Lord or even a King.
The Age of Enlightenment is called that for a reason, people got smart and rise above monarches and Feudal Kings and the richest who kept the riches to themselves rather than trickling it down to the Peasants.

Trump is a somebody who believes thoughts are dangerous, freedom of thought is dangerous. If you don’t eat , sleep , breathe MAGA and stay dumb and dim you are an outcast who must be destroyed not because you are dangerous, because you are dangerous to them keeping the riches for themselves also maintaining their power.

Because smart people see right through him. He can disguise his real intentions to a lot of people, and these will follow blindly. But not to all of us.

It seems he just offers oversimplified solutions, like the tariffs he imposes on other countries, without thinking about the effects on US domestic economy, or handling the illegal immigration problem by deportation.

To handle any problem, one needs first to fully understand the complexities, explore different perspectives and root causes rather than jumping to quick fixes. I once read that Trump, when briefed about a subject, wants a report that covers maximum one page. True or not, I can perfectly imagine why that could be so.

[Awesomesauce2005]

He did think about the impacts on the US economy. Left wing short sighted people hate his decision because they fail to realize that China could completely take us over because they control a very large part of our economy and we don't manufacture much of anything anymore. He wants to bring back our security even at the higher price of goods. Tarrifs level the playing field for manufacturers in the USA because unlike in China where there is unpaid child labor we actually have to pay our workers.

[dustybiker2]

And I post it again.

He is always clear.

[chrissykerdock]

get over it trump is GOD

[dustybiker2]

Point proven.

[juliammm]

This is why there have been so many massive extinctions on Earth! The guy keeps on failing.

[chrissykerdock]

@juliammm like at least he does things as opposed to nothing

[exitseven]

I do not know where this came from but I imagine it is taken out of context as usual.

[seeyounexttuesday]

Trump was cracking jokes and these morons don’t understand humor.

[exitseven]

@seeyounexttuesday he plays them like a violin.

[DrPepper12]

Prove me wrong

[seeyounexttuesday]

Grok thought for 30 seconds which is way more than you're apparently capable of:

Yes, Donald Trump did say the words "smart people don't like me" during a speech, but the quote has been widely shared out of context on social media, leading to misunderstandings. The remark was made at a gala event at his Bedminster Golf Club in New Jersey on September 13, 2025. In the full context, .

[seeyounexttuesday]

Trump was not referring to himself or his own popularity. Instead, he was relaying a quote from a conversation he had with an unnamed person about Tyler Robinson, the suspect in custody for the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Trump was discussing how Robinson had become "radicalized" despite his conservative parents, and the quote was part of describing what someone had told him about Robinson's mindset.

Here's the relevant transcript from the speech, based on the authentic video clip:

> "Smart people don't like me, you know? And they don't like what we talk about. But he's become radicalized. So many things have been learned about him so quickly. He's become totally radicalized and crazy. And it must have been traumatic because the parents are conservative people. [They're] supposed to be very nice people, living in Utah and the father turns in the son. Boy, that's a tough deal. I actually asked somebody in the FBI, 'How often does that happen where — knowing even the guilt — that a father will turn in or parents will turn in the son?' And he said, 'Almost never.'"

The viral clips circulating online typically start abruptly with the "smart people" line, omitting the preceding discussion about the suspect and making it sound like a self-deprecating or bizarre admission from Trump himself. The original video was posted on Instagram by Republican strategist Nicole Kiprilov the following day (September 14, 2025), and she later clarified that Trump was quoting someone else, not speaking about himself. Fact-checks confirm the video is unaltered and authentic, but the decontextualized sharing has fueled misleading interpretations

See you at the mid terms.
