Donald Trump: “Jeff Sessions is a Dumb Southerner” (school, supporters, history)

[NorthDeKalb]

According to Bob Woodward’s book ‘Fear,’ President Trump referred to Jeff Sessions as a “dumb southerner” then went on to mock his thick drawl.

If accurate, how is this received by native southern Trump supporters? Do you trust Bob Woodward’s credibility?

[G1..]

Yes, he was right about Watergate and that fact alone should scare the hell out of trump!

[ClaraC]

I trust Bob Woodward's credibility completely. The fact that Trump went on to mock a southern drawl adds complete credibility.

Yep. That's how that guy rolls. I believe it.

I think he said it but choosing between Trump and Sessions is like choosing between Trump and Omarosa or Trump and Kellyanne. They are both terrible people so it doesn't matter.

He is a dumb Southerner. And Trump's a dumb (damn) Yankee.

Did Trump call Sessions a "dumb southerner"? If Woodward says he did I believe it. Trump has a long history of calling people worse things than that. Will it insult Trump's southern supporters? Nah. They're already brain dead.

[Katnan]

Of course he did. Grade school bullying is what he does, and his rallies and Twitter feed are the evidence.

[mkpunk]

I think Trump has done this, he has done that to many of his associates. It is nothing new for Trump to mock people, even his friends.

[Eli34]

So Trump is calling all Southerners 'dumb'.

Got it.
