How stupid are the people of Iowa? How stupid are the people of the country to believe this crap?
In this instance the context was Dr Carson's religious conversion (From Briebart. )
In his biography, Carson has written about finding God after one of his violent outbursts, and doing so while sitting alone for hours in a bathroom. Trump wasn't buying it, and appeared to attack as "fools" and "stupid" voters who have, specifically Iowa voters:
Anyone in Iowa or the whole damned country is stupid to believe a man who told of the night he found God. This is how he wins. It turns my stomach because Trump has no boundaries.
You want to argue words, fine. I already said you were right. I conceded the word stupid was used after the knife part of the story. I did not take it out if context to prove a point. I relied on Breibart's story. You won.
There is more to the story. Trump talked about what happened after that. Trumps words, not mine, not Breibart's:
"...So he's saying is that series of events. And he goes into the bathroom for a couple of hours and he comes out now he is religious. And the people of Iowa believe him. Give me a break, give me a break it doesn't happen that way. It doesn't happen that way. And some people might not like it 'oh that's not nice what you say' Don't be fools. Don't be fools, okay. "
FOOL -- a person who acts unwisely or imprudently; a silly person.

"Don't be a fool."
Again you are right. He did not say Iowans are Iowans stupid if they believe Carson's account of his "Come to Jesus" moment. He did say don't be a fool (idiot, ass, blockhead, dunce, dolt, ignoramus, imbecile, cretin, dullard, simpleton, moron, clod) because according to "The Gospel According to Trump." (MY words) it doesn't happen that way.
My interpretation is based on what he said. I have a problem with anyone claiming to know how these moments do or do not happen and considered a fool if I believe Carson's account.
