.......................
Mr Trump was apparently turned off by the chaotic scene, although not due to the assault on the US government but according to New York Magazine, because his supporters looked low-class.
He doesnt like low class things, an anonymous White House source told the magazine.
Other reports indicated the presidents disapproval of his supporters appearances while attacking the Capitol, rather than focusing on how to end the disorder.
The Washington Post cited sources who said Mr Trump was more upset about how the mob looked low-class than how it was disrupting the work of government. A close adviser to the president told the newspaper Mr Trump was bemused by the attacks....................................

well gee, Instead of tossing red trump hats--Trump should have tossed out some winter dress coats and leather gloves and white dress shirts and ties. And Melania could have passed out some extra coats, boots etc. Problem solved!

The thing is, those that invaded the Capitol ARE Trump's people.

(22,038 posts)Did the adviser actually mean "bemused?" Or did he think it meant the same thing as "amused?"
Bemused means to be puzzled, confused or bewildered.
Amused means to be entertained in a light, playful, or pleasant manner.
Which of these emotions did Trump experience? They're different, of course.

(14,643 posts)is all you need to know. He doesn't choose the brightest bulbs in the pack. I mean, these thugs are calling themselves patriots, after all. These words they keep using, I don't think they mean what they think they mean.
Trump told the thugs they're special and he loves them. From his own mouth. It's clear he was happy with his handiwork.
Lock him up.

(3,299 posts)this has always been the issue between "old money" elites and Trump, that he didn't have any class. He went on the howard stern show for chrissakes. Look at his vulgar tastes in general.

(13,535 posts)that pretty much what the people at his rallies looked like? Didnt hear him complaining about those crowds. Who did he expect to show up last week at the rally. Men in suits and ties and women in formal dress, and heels? What a weirdo he is. He doesnt like low class things? All he has to do is look in the mirror and see low class.

(1,333 posts)I think about all the photos I have seen from his rally crowds, the dirty-haired women with stained tank tops not covering their ample bellies, the unshaven men missing several teeth, morons looking like morons. Does he think the poorly educated dress and groom well? Scum looks like scum. He attracts the lowest class.
Escurumbele
(3,401 posts)they are also LOW THINKERS, just like you.
The fact that your father left you a fortune doesn't mean anything, you never learned manners, you never learned the way to get out of YOUR LOW CLASS, that is one of the reasons the New York high class never accepted you, they knew you are a low-life, and still are, alike people attract.
You may pooh on a golden toilet, which by the way is a sign of low class (nouveau riche), but you and your family will never stop being low-life.

Botany
(70,539 posts)NY strip steak too (cheap cut) .... which is OK but nowhere close to a rib eye, a t-bone, a filet mignon,
prime rib, standing rib roast, or even a good marinated flank steak. (if you are a meat eater)
The man has zero class. KFC, McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell, and diet pepsi is his diet.

(100,089 posts)As a steak lover, even burning a piece of meat to a crisp is a sacrilege in my book! But then slathering it with Heinz? Even more puke-worthy!
OldBaldy1701E
(5,138 posts)a former roomie told me. He worked at a Morton's and one day a guy came in, ordered one of their prime cuts, then slathered ketchup on it just as the head chef walked into the dining room. The chef walked over, removed the plate from the table and said, "I will get you another steak sir.. this one is ruined." before taking it back into the kitchen. I was told the guy was stunned and did not say a word. I confirmed this story with the chef at a later date, and I thought he was going to gag when recounting his version to me. LOL.

(100,089 posts)It's meat. Let the meat juices do the talking! Otherwise...
Alacritous Crier
(3,816 posts)I had a customer keep sending the steak back because it wasn't well done enough. The third time it came it I yelled, "Why don't you just order chicken?!" The owner came in and said, "He heard you." I laughed and said "Whoops!" My boss said, "Ahh, fuck 'em."

Then they murdered, maimed, threatened, destroyed, looted, brought Russians in to steal things, erected a hangman's scaffold, chanted about the death of Pence. All at dear orangeness' direction.
Naw, someone must have told him they looked low class. He wouldn't have figured that out on his own.
