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.

Model Accuses Fashion Brand Of Using AI To Recreate Her Looks For Ad Instead Of Hiring Her

There used to be laws in place for someone's likeness being used without their consent, and most certainly if their likeness was being used in an exploitative way for profit.

But now with the rise of AI-generated photographs, advertisements, and other digital products, the lines seem to have become muddied between the illegal stealing of someone's likeness and AI "inspiration."

TikToker Secretly Records Unhinged Spectrum Employee Screaming At Her For Trying To Cancel Her Service

Employees in commission-based positions are feeling increasingly pressured to acquire new clients, retain previous clients, and solve the issues their clients call in about with high satisfaction ratings.

Even though tensions are high, and the pressure they're feeling may be unrealistic for any one person to take, that doesn't give them the right to mistreat people who do not want to sign up or want to cancel.
