9. The best comparison I can make is this: Trump is like a comedian

at a comedy club with his hand-selected audience.

Not just a comedian, but a superstar.

And because Trump knows they're on his side no matter what he says, he really doesn't care. And neither do they.

So he riffs, does free association, expecting to get a laugh when it isn't funny, his supporters laugh on cue. They don't care if it's offensive or not witty or not amusing. They laugh if he sneezes. They laugh if they don't understand what he's said.

So, yeah, when Trump mocks the involuntary stutter of Joe Biden, they love it because he loves it. They are one. Maybe after they go home, SOME may mull over whether what Trump said was "nice", but it doesn't matter.
