19. "He's not hurting the right people!".

That's a paraphrase from a quote in a NYT article about (delusional) working-class Trump voters.

The full quote is "I thought he was going to do good things. He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting!"...Trump's policies weren't attacking the brown people enough, and were in fact harming nice white people like her.
