it's really not that hard to explain

a young and vibrant crowd has turned out for Trump's event in Des Moines

Trump claims not having a 2nd Amendment would "be a travesty for death," which is true, actually

Fox News checks in on Trump's event in Iowa right as he pushes incendiary nonsense about Ashli Babbitt's death "Actually people say she was trying to hold back the people who were pushing her forward," Trump lies, even though video of the incident shows the exact opposite

After someone in the crowd praises Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, Trump claims, "I hate to say it -- without me, you know she was not gonna win. You know that, right?"

Trump: "I don't like the term 'woke," because I hear the term 'woke woke woke' -- it's just a term they use, half the people can't define it, they don't know what it is."

This kinda confirms my sneaking suspicion that Trump is actually truly liberal deep down, but is such a narcissistic ass that his entire political image is a calculated angle he knows works on ignorant and disgruntled boomers.

It's whatever works on stupid ppl.🤷🏼‍♂️
