Trump inadvertently said people who believe his election-fraud theories are stupid

Former President Donald Trump published a grammatically confusing statement that inadvertently insulted those who believe his 2020 election-fraud claims.

"Anybody that doesn't think there wasn't massive election fraud in the 2020 presidential election is either very stupid, or very corrupt!" he said in a Saturday statement.

Critics pounced on the error. They said the former president used a double negative and wound up insulting those who espoused his claim that the 2020 election was stolen from him, rather than those who rejected the claim.

The bottom line is, that even if he came out and clearly said "Anyone who believes my election fraud theories, is Stupid and has the brain capacity of a gnat," they would still support him and send money.

Meanwhile, President Biden tries to talk to these people as if they were human beings, and is met with attacks and vitriol.

Puts him on both sides of the issue now so as it will allow him to say at some point in the future that he issued a statement saying he told them it wasn't true.

Every thinking person knows that Trump, like W before him, cannot speak proper English

It doesn’t matter to their followers. Those brain-dead idiots hear exactly what Trump wants them to hear.

Pointing out Trump’s mangled grammar won’t change anyone’s mind.
