The room was 16 rows deep. Almost entirely Mar A Lago club members. At that club, one has to pay a $200,000 initiation fee.
Consider that contrast. Gazillionaires cheering Drumpf who gets the adoring support of poor whites who are like the chickens voting for Col Sanders, and who could NEVER get into a Trump property except maybe as a janitor.
How fucked up is that?

paying attention to that speech. He only mentioned how the RICH needed to there. Didn't mention the middle class, the working poor - NOBODY BUT THE RICH.
