Trump Supporters Confirm Low Intelligence by Backing Owens, Elder

MAGA world continues to back losers, hustlers

Like a bad case of herpes, former President Donald Trump refuses to go away. Over the weekend, he held one of his meaningless rallies in Iowa. Because if there are rubes to juice, Trump will be there. I tried to ignore it, but I read some reports since I’m a masochist and also write about politics.

A report by The Iowa Dispatch was both disturbing and amusing. According to Iowa Dispatch reporter Katie Akin, some of the Trump cultists at the Iowa rally said they were not sold on him running again in 2024. Okay, that’s a sign of sanity. But then they went totally off the rails. Some of the other suggested candidates were Candace Owens and Larry Elder!

Yes, Elder, the guy who lost the California recall election in less than an hour. Owens isn’t much better. She’s an African-American conservative entertainment complex figure renowned for bashing Black people and praising Adolph Hitler. Neither Owens nor Elder has held political office.

Those two suggestions are laughable. But it’s not only amusing; it shows a group of people who have lost touch with reality. A mental health expert would describe that as psychotic.

Five years of delusions, lies
