Trump: “Smart people don’t like me”

At a private event filmed at Bedminster Golf Club, Donald Trump said smart people don’t like him.

A mocking statement, but one that some believe reveals his perception of his supporters.

“Smart people don’t like me. And they don’t like what we’re talking about.”

In a video widely relayed on social networks, we see Donald Trump, microphone in hand, addressing a small group of people gathered around him.

The scene was filmed on September 13, at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, according to several sources.

As Trump addressed the assassination of Charlie Kirk, which occurred a few days earlier, as well as the suspect, yet it was these words that caught the eye.

This statement, obviously made in a mocking tone, provoked laughter in the room.

Yet some observers saw it as a revealing remark, likely to reflect what Trump really thinks of his own supporters, especially sincehe has in the past expressed ambivalent views on the education or intelligence of his electorate, most notably in 2016, when he declared: “I love the poorly educated.”
