Trump: Never Trumpers ‘on a respirator’

Donald Trump said late Wednesday that members of the Never Trump movement just didn’t understand him.

“These people were angry. They didn’t even know me. I never met them,” the president-elect said during a fundraiser at the National Portrait Gallery, according to a video of the event obtained by Axios.

“They’re really right now on a respirator,” he continued.

“And we actually do have some Never Trumpers that are fantastic people. They just didn’t understand me.”

{mosads}During the presidential campaign, many people joined the Never Trump movement, speaking out against Trump and orchestrating efforts to derail the president-elect. 

People who were part of this movement said they would not vote for Trump and warned of the dangers of a Trump presidency.

Since Trump’s victory, some who were part of the Never Trump movement and spoke our strongly against Trump have since congratulated the president-elect or have had talks about administration positions.
