This mother fucker is so dumb he thinks civil suits are brought about by the federal government. Sometimes I still can't believe this guy was actually president.
That's for his followers, to rile them up and keep them loyal, that's not really what he believes. Not to say he isn't a dumb cunt, he is, but this is not an example of that.
I agree it's mostly for his followers, but I think it's arguable that it's an example of both. I'm sure he really doesn't know (or understand the difference) or confused this with another trial, or both.
He is not as smart as he thinks or would like everyone else to believe but he does know exactly what he is doing here. Truth does not matter to the right and right-wing authoritarians (who are the people who follow narcissistic fascists) just love this schtick.
This was written in 2006 and every time I read it, I have to check the date wasn't actually 2016:

I can already hear the outraged clucking from gaggles of fuckwits as they prepare to empty their retirement savings to send to him in support.
