The Trump scam has officially hit rock bottom

But his voters will love it!

This phrase has become a stock joke among liberals, lampooning President Trump’s confidence that his voters will thrill to whatever populist theatrics he feeds them — no matter how ugly, authoritarian or racist — even as he has completely sold out on the real populism they supposedly elected him to fulfill.

As Trump’s attacks on the deceased John McCain continue, Trump’s allies are now taking that stock joke to a new, self-parodic low — and in the process, unintentionally revealing what a monstrous scam this presidency really is.

Their new argument is that Trump’s rants against McCain will thrill his voters, but more to the point, that these attacks constitute, in an important way, the fulfillment of the promise of his campaign. Yes, this is their actual argument.

The Post reports that Trump allies view McCain as a “useful foil” in the eyes of Trump voters. McCain has been dead for nearly seven months, so this itself seems to betray that Trumpworld has a rather dim view of those voters.

1. Trump thinks his voters are fools.

And for once, I agree with him.

3. Yup. That could be the only thing the stupid jackass has ever gotten correct.

2. Republicans have no rock bottom

There's no low they will not sink to and I am not exaggerating.
