“You can’t fool your base,” they say without even a hint of irony.

The base is taking about Iran and not the Epstein files. I'd say Trump's done a fine job fooling his base.
replies:
Lol you can't fool your base
replies:
He's been doing exactly that for over a decade.
“You can’t fool your base.”
Why not? It’s worked for more than a decade.
It should read “You’re hurting us now and not just the people who disagree with us, so that makes us mad! And only about the issues that hurt us, everyone else getting screwed is fine!”
replies:
He fooled his base on every election so far.
replies:
Bullshit. His base still has over 80% approval rating on him. Fuck off with these headlines. His supporters are not "turning on him" for fucks sakes.
fooling his base is the basis of his entire success
replies:
You cannot trust anything that Iran signs
Can't believe we got to this, but at this moment I trust the word of Iran over that of the usa.
replies:
I’ll believe it when I see it. They’ve been “turning” on him for ages and always keep coming back for the racism.
Oh good grief. So some of them don't like his Iran deal, that's not 'turning on him'. They would all still 100% vote for him and will vote for whoever he tells them to, as we've been seeing in the repub primaries. They'll still fall for any scam he throws at them and are perfectly happy to have their taxpayer dollars go to billionaires and grifters while their own benefits are dismantled and their rights taken away.

They are so incredibly stupid

LOL, the very fact that PEDOnald the Pumpkinhead is in office gives the lie to "you can't fool your base":
- They think he cares about them.
- They think an effete elitist from Manhattan is a REEL MURIKAN.
- They think he was a successful businessman.
- They think he's "great at deals".
And so on. Of course, you could have asked almost any liberal about any of the above, but would the base ever listen to a liberal? Fuck no, that might make them gay.
"You cannot trust anything that Iran signs"
Can you trust anything the US signs?
replies:
Fooling your base is literally every maga policy
How many people have to turn on him before he's not in charge anymore? I've been told that the vast majority of Americans are against him. It shouldn't be possible in a democracy for someone to be in charge if most everybody is against him
replies:
"You can't fool your base!"
um... sure.
replies:
Conservatives are the stupidest people on earth. They shouldn't be allowed to make decisions on their own or operate heavy machinery.
replies:
You can always fool fools.
They fooled themselves.
Doesn’t matter if they turn on him, if a peaceful agreement is made all Donny has to do is give a speech declaring absolute total victory then they will be back on his crusty Cheeto dick just in time to start a new war with Cuba and Greenland. And right after that Israel will continue bombing Iran out of spite and to get America to eventually do a full scale invasion just in time for Donny and the GOP to attempt to stop the midterms from taking place.
replies:
... no comment, no notes, the jokes write themselves at this point.
And how much of that is bots looking to soften his escape from the debacle trying to make it seem like starting a war was what anyone wanted?
replies:
Donald Trump's Truth Social post praising negotiations with Iran as "productive and professional" triggered an immediate backlash Sunday — not from Democrats, but from his own most fervent supporters, who accused him of repeating Barack Obama's mistakes and demanded military destruction of the Iranian regime instead
I take it this is a different faction from that non-interventionist MAGA faction?
replies:
"You can't fool your base."
Man, they are so close to figuring it out. It's right there.
No they don't
How can you not be able to fool that which does not want to learn?
These rubes were followed twice, years apart. These guys are perpetual marks.
"You can't fool your base."
Nope but you can discard them when you are done.
replies:
Cute. Obviously he can fool his base, but I'm up for anything that makes them turn on him.
fool me 234,720 times, same on you, fool me.....
replies:
[2s later] kidding, kidding, haha

Fools
Trump attempted an actual insurrection, yet this here is a bridge too far for his base?
replies:
What is the mentioned "deal"?
