The Daily Show's Jordan Klepper exposed the fact that a good deal of Trump supporters are still verifiably nuts during his first "event" of the year. They're also in denial about the fact that their hero's popularity is waning among Republicans, as Klepper discussed with CNN's Jim Acosta this Sunday.
As Klepper explained, despite the typical denialism from Trump supporters since he's been out of office about pretty much anything and everything, this was different when it came to the confusion among them about the crowd size, or lack thereof.
"And what was it like? I mean when you were there. You know, Trump is talking about these smaller gatherings as if it's a plus. You know, we know Trump and how he likes large crowd sizes, and we don't need to go down that road, but what is your sense of how his campaign is shaping up so far?" asked Acosta.
"Well, it was interesting. You know, if you were expecting a spectacle, you weren't getting it there. It was confusing," said Klepper. "There were people who came assuming it was a rally. Other folks called it a rally. Others called it an intimate event. There were MAGA people who were disappointed it wasn't a big, giant, event. Some thought it was a reelection kick-off, some a reinstatement kick-off. Some a rifle t-shirt super sale. There's confusion in the air, which should be expected with a Trump campaign. I think overall, there's hope, at least interior-wise, that this is a new, better Trump 3.0. Something that should be underlined with this event is these ideas were coming from people who went inside, who were invite-only. So, the folks that we ended up talking to out here, most of them went inside, and they went inside because they're important enough to have invitations to be in the front row of this GOP discussion."
You've got to love The Daily Show for keeping it real with these Trumpers. Sadly our corporate "news" media is too worried about not looking like they're biased to treat these people with the scorn they deserve. I'm glad CNN at least featured Klepper, although it doesn't make up for the fact that the majority of the network's programming is godawful bothsiderism.
