    If you really wanted to squint and put your fingers in your ears and hum, you might possibly be able to interpret him as talking about congresspeople.

    But he was actually talking about black people, so that isn’t necessary.

      Maybe Republicans would be a reasonable take, although I don’t know anything about this guy to say he’s smart, but Republicans tend to be “not quite so good.”

      Obviously, this is not what Trump meant, but also he was a Democrat before he realized how easy Republicans were to dupe, so he is aware of this fact.

      Thank you for explaining it. I have been confused about this for hours. I thought he was talking about congress members. I don’t think I could have ever figured it out.
