Well, he's half right.Donald Trump Hails Loyal Supporters, the Smart and 'Not-So-Smart' Alike
CLAREMONT, N.H. Donald Trump's supporters are the best at least, that's the way he's been telling it at recent rallies.
Tuesday evening in chilly New Hampshire, Trump was late to the stage but quick to tell his supporters just how good he knows they are and how his supportive base can take states that other Republicans couldn't even dream of winning. "My people are the most intelligent people," he said. "And you know what else? They're the most loyal of the people."
An NBC News/Survey Monkey poll in fact, suggests that Trump supporters, once decided, are likely to stay with him. Fifty-one percent of respondents said they were "absolutely certain" that they will vote for Trump. Supporters on the trail often say there's nothing he could say that would make them turn against Trump or change their minds.

Trump continued his assessment of those who plan to vote for him on February 9th in the New Hampshire primary: "I'm winning with the smart people, I'm winning with the not-so-smart people, too. I'm winning with everything."

Now how he manipulated himself into believing himself is another question?
