The basket of deplorables.
That’s the term Hillary uttered at a fundraiser earlier this month, and if things don’t go as planned at the polls in November it’s a comment she may come to really regret.
It’s not that she’s so far off the mark – his supporters include KKK leaders and other such cretins – but ridiculing working-class Americans is never going to resonate well with undecided voters.
Here you go – see for yourself:
Before we check on how Trump’s capitalising on the slip up a little something from Mashable:
A Reuters poll published in June showed that around 45 percent of Trump supporters believe black people are more rude than white people, and that around 50 percent of Trump supporters think black people are more violent.
A survey published in May by Public Policy Polling showed that 65 percent of voters who like Trump think Obama is Muslim, and 59 percent think he was born outside the United States.
Still Hillary, you should have known better.
And now for the Donald, who never lets the chance to make a quick buck slip him by:
The Republican presidential nominee, who has plastered his last name in giant shiny letters on hotels and casinos across the country, is now selling “deplorable” t-shirts on his campaign’s website…
The t-shirts, of which there are two types, each cost $35.
It’s your money, you spend it as you please. You’ll need to buy those badges separately, though.
Maybe he should promise some of that $35 going towards building that wall, because it looks like Mexico still isn’t all that keen on paying up.
