I think it’s less about context and more about intent. I think his intent (and I assume the way the crowd interpreted it) was “I can talk about insignificant things like what I had for breakfast and you’d still find it exciting.”
Anyone with half a brain hears it as “you are so sycophantic that it doesn’t matter what I say, to the degree that I could openly insult you and you’d still cheer”
His followers hear it as “I appreciate you for supporting me, even when I talk about things that don’t interest you”
I can definitely agree with you there!
