It’s hard to pick a quote of the day or week anymore since Donald Trump is spewing nonsense every time he gets in front of a camera and all the members of his staff are nearly as bad. The press conference yesterday was full of memorable stuff, from his yelling at a jewish reporter for asking about Antisemitism to asking a black reporter if she’s friend with Congressional Black Caucus and asking her to set up a meeting to explaining that he’s been briefed and found out that nuclear holocaust would be a bad thing. The number of insane comments was overwhelming.
But this one was particularly telling in that it proves once and for all that Trump believes he and the Republicans are only obligated to represent the people who voted for them.
We’ve begun preparing to repeal and replace Obamacare. Obamacare is a disaster, folks. It’s a disaster. You can say, “Oh, Obamacare!” — They fill up our rallies with people that, you wonder how they get there, but they’re not the Republican people that the representatives are representing.
That’s not how this works. Or, at least, it’s not how it’s supposed to work. Even the people who voted for your opponent are your constituents. Donald Trump literally doesn’t know that.
