He knew they were worse than stupid. At one rally, more towards the end of the campaign, he said something like “They’re stupid, or worse”, paraphrasing. Actually IIRC he said that more than once, I watched a lot of his rallies but not all for sure.
The folks in my circle are not “stupid” but I may make the remark.
I think what he means is they are “Stupid” for the actions they take or believe in to keep America free.
