Amid high temperatures at Donald Trump's campaign rally in Las Vegas on Sunday, the former president made a quip about the heat affecting his attendees by stating that he needed their votes, adding, "I don't care about you."
Trump and President Joe Biden became the presumptive 2024 Republican and Democratic presidential nominees respectively in March as both continue to campaign ahead of November's election. On Sunday, the former president took to the stage at his Sunset Park outdoor rally to speak to his supporters.
However, temperatures began to rise with a forecast of over 100 degrees during the event. At his rally, Trump spoke about the heat affecting his attendees as he made a joke about needing their votes.
"By the way, isn't the breeze nice. Do you feel the breeze? I don't want anybody going on me. We need every voter. I don't care about you. I just want your vote. I don't care." His supporters laughed as he then said, "See now, the press will take that, and they'll say, 'He said a horrible thing.'"
Honestly this just makes it so funny. How much of a bootlicking coward do you have to be to love this man so much? He's not the second coming or anything, the loyalty is not reciprocated at all.
Everything about Trump's popularity is so fucking weird. I could live to be 1,000 years old and never understand it. At least in a religious cult - the marks have their dogma to keep them warm and their leaders can enthrall them with weird charisma. But Trump doesn't even have any juice anymore. There's no there there. He's like a fat, old fifth rate standup comic. And his ~1 hour act is nearly 100% complaints and rants that are mostly incoherent.
