From Marina Hyde's "Behold, another second coming. But this one is Donald Trump - WAY BETTER than that Jesus guy" at The Guardian (www.theguardian.com):
You hear such a lot from Maga Republicans about how liberals think Trump voters are stupid. But not nearly enough about the far more salient point: that Donald Trump thinks Trump voters are stupid. Naturally, nobody deplores his own people as passionately as a populist, but even by those exacting historical standards Trump really does regard his supporters as a honking great throng of halfwits. How else to explain his seemingly retrofitted claim yesterday that the AI picture he posted of himself as Jesus was "me as a doctor". Er, no. After it incensed leading figures in the Christian right, which makes up a large part of his voter base, the US president later deleted it, lamenting of these idiots that he "didn't want anybody to be confused. People were confused." Yeah, people are stoopid.
