Trump Reportedly Raged During Riots ‘Because the Poor White Trash Mob Made Him Look Bad’

Ugh.

Yesterday we reported on a tweet from New York Magazine’s Olivia Nuzzi, who reported that Donald Trump was upset by the appearance of the rioters on January 6th, and said they looked “look class”. And as we all know quite well, the man with the golden toilets does not like low class.

Now we have more color from the Mail on Sunday.

A source told the Mail that Trump was “apoplectic” in embarrassment because the “white trash” mob on screen made him look bad.

“He was angry, not at the appalling crimes they were committing, but because he felt embarrassed,” said the source. “When they first stormed the Capitol he was enjoying it. These were “his people”.

“But when he saw pictures of the half-naked guy in the fur hat he started complaining they looked “cheap and poor”.

“Even at one of the worst moments in American history he was thinking about his image. He didn’t grasp the scale of the disaster.”

And for reference, here’s the “half-naked guy in the fur hat”:

His name is Jake Angeli and he’s also known as the “Q Shaman” and he’s basically a terrible person covered in fascist tattoos. Luckily he’s been arrested.

The Mail also gave us a little insight into the scene in the bunker as Trump watched the Capitol be ransacked in his name.

“Fueled by hamburgers and endless cans of Coca-Cola, Trump ignored calls from his closest political advisers, including Vice President Mike Pence, who begged him to make a televised address and call off the mob.

‘He was shouting: “Why should I? These people are my supporters”.’

Why should I? What’s in it for me? Ugh, just the worst person on the planet.

Wednesday’s riot at the Capitol took place shortly after Trump gave a speech whipping-up an already inflamed crowd, and marked just how far the president has descended into what the aide called “his own personal hell”.

“He’s delusional. The group around him that remain are sycophants who tell him what he wants to hear. He truly believes the election was stolen from him even though there is not a shred of evidence for that.”

“It’s like the president is living in a parallel universe. Everyone knows he lost, that there was no voter fraud, yet in his mind the White House has been stolen from him and the rioters this week are loyal patriots defending him against those who are trying to steal the presidency from him.”

As Wednesday’s events unfolded, Trump’s inner circle shrank even further.

In the end only his chief of staff Mark Meadows, deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino, personnel director Johnny McEntee, lawyer Rudy Giuliani and policy adviser Stephen Miller remained in the room.

I think that says it all. Not even Ivanka stayed by his side.
