Triumph The Insult Comic Dog Hilariously Shows Just How Far Trump Supporters Will Go To Defend Him
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert/YouTube

This Wednesday's episode of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert set the stage for a humorous and eye opening social experiment. The test was to see if Donald Trump's supporters will defend the President no matter what he says or does.

Colbert explained that Robert Smigel's Triumph the Insult Comic Dog would report on a focus group of genuine Trump supporters reactions to a moderator showing them outrageous fake presidential ads.


Watch the video below.

Colbert explained to viewers:

"Despite the travesties of his [pandemic] response, the failed economy, and California's exploding trees, President Trump's loyal followers have stuck with him through the good times and the end times."

He continued:

One wonders if anything the President says or does could cost him their 'herd mentality.' So we brought these actual Trump supporters to this actual focus group research center, where this actual moderator showed them a series of actual fake Trump campaign ads."

The moderator began by asking why the attendees supported Donald Trump.

One man wearing a Washington football team cap—a team known for its former racial slur name and offensive Native American themed fan attire—answered simply:

"I like money, and he knows how to make it. Uh-uhh he is not a politician"
"And it's good to have somebody that-that speaks some of the things that I want to just scream sometimes."

What could some of those things be?

Well, when asked by the moderator if any people would be better in reference to the fake ad promoting child labor, one Trump supporter boldly blurted out:

"The Mexicans, communities that, you know are in poverty. They're the ones that sell drugs. I don't do drugs."
"I mean, it's like they're not trying to better themselves. I mean, it's disgusting that there are, a lot of people that are just lazy"

Don't worry Karen…we're sure everyone will believe you aren't really a racist for saying brown children would be better suited for child labor or an entire race of people are disgusting, lazy drug dealers.

Giphy

Another attendee, after watching a fake ad advocating testing on immigrants to see if microwaves could kill the virus, stated:

"If you admit to that, that you would possibly think to use a-an immigrant in a microwave, like that crossed your mind to take a normal person that's done nothing wrong and microwave him, nobody's gonna go for that, nobody."
"I mean I'll still vote for him. But that was stupid."

Twitter users saw a pattern in Trump's supporters.




Others on Twitter called out the "herd mentality" with a more blunt term: cult.





In conclusion Triumph summed up the results of this focus group's responses:

"…And in the end, no matter whom you support, we can all agree, America is blessed with an informed electorate, and the future is brighter than ever…for me to poop on."

The future does seem like it will be full of it Triumph.

Kent, a former Green Beret and political candidate with ties to right-wing extremists, was confirmed last July in a 52–44 vote to lead the National Counterterrorism Center, where he oversaw efforts to analyze and detect terrorist threats.

Gavin Newsom's Wife Claps Back Hard In Viral Video After Trump Mocks Newsom's Learning Disability

Jennifer Siebel Newsom—the wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom—criticized President Donald Trump after he claimed her husband's dyslexia should disqualify him from being president, calling Trump's comments "extremely ignorant and offensive."

Newsom has frequently spoken about living with dyslexia, a common learning disability that can make reading more difficult and affect spelling and speech. He has said he prefers not to rely on teleprompters because of the condition, and wrote in a recent memoir that, when he was younger, he overcompensated by memorizing “pretentious words.”

Gellar reveals reason for Buffy reboot ax

Sarah Michelle Gellar is finally pulling back the curtain on why Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s planned return was abruptly shut down—and the explanation is raising eyebrows.

In a new interview with People, Gellar pointed to a single Hulu executive who, she claims, simply didn’t like the original series, effectively halting the planned continuation show Buffy: New Sunnydale in its tracks—an ending that feels less like a heroic finale and more like a stake through a vampire’s heart.

MAGA Rep's 'Quinceañera' Dig Aimed At Tejano Star Opponent Backfires Spectacularly

Several studies conducted since 2016 have noted that Republican candidates rely more on fear mongering, hate, and attack adds than their opponents, whether Democrats or third party.

Illinois Democrat Kat Abughazaleh, running for a spot on November's ballot for a seat in the House of Representatives, exploited that trend by launching attack ads against herself. Meanwhile, the National Republican Senatorial Committee drew backlash for using AI deepfake videos in their attacks on Democratic candidates.
