唐纳德·特朗普总统曾调侃道：“我哪怕站在第五大道中央开枪杀人，也不会失去选民。” 这句话距今已有十多年了。
如今他的基本盘对他的忠诚度已远不如从前。但本周末，在他近期多次到访共和党希望能借此动员选民参与11月中期选举的深红州时，他又重拾了这一话题。
“站在这儿的时候，那种爱意简直扑面而来，”特朗普在田纳西州的一场集会上说道，“我哪怕说出最蠢的话，你们也会鼓掌。‘哦，我太爱你了。’”
两段话都被包装成玩笑，但也都指向了特朗普乐于强化的一种印象：他的基本盘对他近乎邪教般忠诚，仿佛是毫无思想的机器人。
多位特朗普前盟友和顾问表示，这类言论暴露出特朗普对自己的选民带有某种程度的轻蔑。
多年来，特朗普积累了大量类似的言论，都可以被解读为对共和党寄予中期选举厚望的基础选民不屑一顾。
我们来回顾一下。
在“第五大道”言论之前，特朗普就试过类似的说法。
据NBC新闻报道，2016年他在新罕布什尔州曾表示：“有一项民调结果显示——没人会离开我，”“就算我是世上最糟糕的人，他们也不会走。”
特朗普称，哪怕他“做出一些非常不当的事，我的支持者也会留下来”。
“我拥有最忠诚的民众——你们见过吗？”特朗普在爱荷华州苏城中心说道，还补充道：“我哪怕站在第五大道中央开枪杀人，也不会失去选民。”
他还说：“这简直不可思议。”
“就连非常不诚实的媒体都在说，特朗普的支持者是最棒的，”在内华达州党团会议召开前，他在斯帕克斯市说道。
“我的民调显示，已经有68%的人无论如何都不会离开我，”他补充道，“我觉得这意味着哪怕杀人也没问题，任何事都可以。”
赢得党团会议后，特朗普指出自己在受教育程度较低的选民中支持率领先，多年来这一直是他最忠实的选民群体之一。
但他相当挑衅地反复将这一群体称为“受教育程度低的人”。
“我们赢了年轻人的票，赢了老年人的票，赢了高学历者的票，也赢了受教育程度低的人的票，”特朗普说道，还补充：“我爱这些受教育程度低的人。”
在向黑人选民拉票时，特朗普对他们的处境给出了相当悲观的评价。
“听着，你们有什么可失去的呢？”他在密歇根州说道，“你们生活在贫困之中，学校糟糕透顶，你们没有工作，58%的年轻人失业。你们到底还有什么可失去的？”
正如CNN记者凯文·利普塔克在2020年竞选后期指出的，特朗普向选民推销自己时常常会说，如果可以的话，他根本不会去他们所在的地方。他还常常拿寒冷天气当借口。
“在新冠疫情到来之前，一切都顺风顺水。我本来都不会去伊利市，”特朗普在宾夕法尼亚州说道，“老实说：我绝对不可能来这儿。”
还有一次玩笑话，特朗普在拉斯维加斯闷热的集会现场对民众说，他需要他们活下去，这样他们才能在投票箱前为他投票。
“你们感觉到风了吗？因为我不想任何人出意外，”特朗普说，“我们需要每一位选民。我不在乎你们；我只想要你们的选票。我根本不在乎你们。”
这话当然是个玩笑，人群笑了起来。但还是有六名集会参与者因中暑被送医治疗。
“他们所谓的新骗局，我们永远称之为杰弗里·爱泼斯坦骗局，而我的前支持者们完全相信了这种‘鬼话’，全盘接受，”特朗普在社交媒体上就推动公布更多与杰弗里·爱泼斯坦相关文件的举动写道，“他们没吸取教训，可能永远也不会吸取教训，哪怕被左翼疯子骗了整整八年。”
特朗普称这些人为“软骨头”，“帮民主党干活”。
（未明说的是：在他重返政坛之前，推动这一说法的有不少他自己的知名支持者。其中一些人后来还担任了要职，比如联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔。）
周六：“我哪怕说出最蠢的话，你们也会鼓掌”
“站在这儿的时候，那种爱意简直扑面而来，”特朗普在田纳西州说道，“我哪怕说出最蠢的话，你们也会鼓掌。‘哦，我太爱你了。’这是真的。”
引发一阵笑声后，这位总统保证自己其实不会那么做。
“但我们不会说最蠢的话，”他说，“我们说的都是合乎常理的话。”
Trump is playing to his base in red-state campaign swing. But he’s often been dismissive of those voters
2026-10-12T21:25:15.905Z / https://www.cnn.com/2026/10/12/politics/trump-maga-voters-midterms
It’s been more than 10 years since President Donald Trump quipped, “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose voters.”
His base isn’t nearly so devoted to him these days. But he still returned to the theme this weekend during one of his many recent stops in deep-red territory where Republicans hope he’ll turn out the base for the November midterms.
“When you stand up here, it’s just like the love,” Trump said at a rally in Tennessee. “I could say the stupidest things, and you clap. ‘Oh, I love you so.’”
Both comments were couched as jokes, but both also pointed to a perception that Trump is happy to feed: that his base is almost cultishly devoted to him — as if they are unthinking automatons.
A number of former Trump associates and advisers have said these kinds of comments betray a certain contempt that Trump has for his voters.
And over the years, he has assembled a lengthy volume of comments that could be understood to be similarly dismissive of the base voters who Republicans are pinning their midterm hopes on.
Let’s recap.
Before Trump’s “Fifth Avenue” comment, he tried out a different version.
“One of the things that came out in the one poll — nobody’s ever leaving me,” he said in New Hampshire in 2016, according to NBC News. “I could be the worst person in the world, they’re not leaving.”
Trump said that even if he did “some really inappropriate things, my people stay.”
“I have the most loyal people — did you ever see that?” Trump said in Sioux Center, Iowa, adding: “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose voters.”
He added: “It’s, like, incredible.”
“Even the really dishonest press says Trump’s people are the most incredible,” he said in Sparks, Nevada, just before the state’s caucuses.
“I mean I had already 68% would not leave under any circumstances,” he added. “I think that means murder. I think it means anything.”
After winning the caucuses, Trump pointed to his superior polling numbers among voters with less formal education, which has been one of his most loyal demographics over the years.
But he rather provocatively called them the “poorly educated” — repeatedly.
“We won with young. We won with old. We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated,” Trump said, adding: “I love the poorly educated.”
In making an appeal to Black voters, Trump offered a pretty dismal review of their conditions.
“Look, what do you have to lose?” he said in Michigan. “You live in your poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, 58% of your youth is unemployed. What the hell do you have to lose?”
As CNN’s Kevin Liptak noted late in the 2020 campaign, Trump’s pitch to voters often included saying he wouldn’t have visited their locales if he didn’t have to. He often pointed to the freezing weather.
“Before the plague [Covid] came in, I had it made. I wasn’t coming to Erie,” Trump said in Pennsylvania. “I mean, I have to be honest: There’s no way I was coming.”
In another jokey comment, Trump told people assembled in stifling heat in Las Vegas that he needed them to live so they could deliver for him at the ballot box.
“Do you feel the breeze? ’Cause I don’t want anybody going on me,” Trump said. “We need every voter. I don’t care about you; I just want your vote. I don’t care.”
A joke, sure. The crowd laughed. But six rallygoers were hospitalized for heat-related illness.
“Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bullshit,’ hook, line, and sinker,” Trump wrote on social media about the push to release more documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. “They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years.”
Trump called these people “weaklings” who “do the Democrats work.”
(Left unsaid: The fact that many of those who had pushed this story before he returned to office were his own high-profile supporters. That included some who went on to serve in major roles, such as FBI Director Kash Patel.)
Saturday: ‘I could say the stupidest things, and you clap’
“When you stand up here, it’s just like the love,” Trump said in Tennessee. “I could say the stupidest things, and you clap. ‘Oh, I love you so.’ It’s true.”
After some laughter, the president assured that isn’t what he actually does.
“But we don’t say the stupidest things,” he said. “We say things of common sense.”
