    Yeah like the great Republican cults of the past, such as Jim Jones. Oh wait, no, those were Democrats. Wasn't Jones a friend of Jimmy Carter.

    Oh yeah. He was.

    For the same reason Democrats believed "Russian collusion" for 4 years.

    The problem isn't the Trump supporters.

    Your comment reads exactly what you are accusing CNN of.

    I guess it depends on which side of the fence one sits on.

    I'd be interested if you could point to a post here where you admitted you were wrong.

    I'm not a journalist writing and posting news articles. Apples and airplanes. Can you actually debunk anything that I said?

    Well speaking of cults, anyone willing to vote for something as old and stupid as Brain bleed Joe-joe finger sucker MUST be mesmerized, indoctrinated or simply cultist!

    As far as Republicans and the allure of Trump, well that was all to do with better job opportunity, independence from the likes of Mr. Obatard and his goofy VP Joe-joe Brain bleed.. Gotta ask yourself, did this idiot do anything other then shining Mr. Obatards shoes those eight years. Hell, towards the end of Obama's first term they kept the old idiot locked up as to not embarrass his lord and master!

    And now the left wing party want to make the EVEN older and more stupid the President, ummm YA, there is definitely some subliminal deep seated witchcraft happening alright ;)

    Yes, you can change Wiki, yes, MSM are biased. More - quite probably there are some socialists working for Fox News and probably in CIA/FBI are some people who hate Trump, but the question is what is a true fact what what is a fake news.

    True new or a fake news:
    The earth will start getting cooler:

    Mexico paid/will pay for the wall

    the coronavirus will ‘miraculously’ go away by April

    Between 3 million and 5 million illegal votes caused me to lose the popular vote.

    Many people every year, sometimes over 100,000, and despite the Vaccine, die from the Flu.
    https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1313449844413992961

    the coronavirus is Democratic hoax

    https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1220818115354923009
    “China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!”

    https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1225728755248828416

    “Just had a long and very good conversation by phone with President Xi of China. He is strong, sharp and powerfully focused on leading the counterattack on the Coronavirus. He feels they are doing very well, even building hospitals in a matter of only days … Great discipline is taking place in China, as President Xi strongly leads what will be a very successful operation. We are working closely with China to help!

    yes, it happened to me few times. The last one when I admitted that not 'majority' by 'plurality' of American voters prefer Democratic party.

    Whenever the Right can't deny they are WRONG suddenly BOTH sides do it.

    If truth and reality were any concern for them, they wouldn't be Trump supporters.

    It’s pretty apparent why. Republicans in general stay with ANY brand name by a consistent 80 plus % margin. It’s not going to change simply because it’s Trump.

    There were many reasons to suspect Russian collusion - Trump hides his tax returns, so we don't know if he did suspicious business in Russia, Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev paid $95 millions for Trump's property worth much less, Flynn was secretly talking to Russian ambassador promising reducing sanctions, Kusher wanted secret communication with Russia, Trump constantly defended KGB officer Volodya Putin, even trusted him more than he trusted CIA/FBI, so it is LOGICAL some people were suspicious. But Mueller did no find a proof - so end of story.

    Trump doesn't hide anything. You think the same Obama administration that manufactured those incidents didn't look at his IRS tax returns? Give me a break.

    Flynn, the incoming NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR's JOB is to talk to Russian ambassadors and discuss sanctions and changes.

    None of the things you've said here are even remotely accurate.

    Everything the Obama administration, FBI, John Brennan, and Hillary Clinton did was to manufacture an investigation into Trump.

    End of story.

    Says the people who don't remember the last 4 years and still live in denial.

    I can't blame you.

    The left dug itself quite a hole there.

    The last four years and beyond have shown us that there's a whole lot to distrust about all the entities you just mentioned, though I wouldn't include Wikipedia in that group.

    OK, have a break. Trump is not fighting in the courts to keep his tax returns secret and he never promised to reveal his tax returns.
    What it proves? It proves President Trump is true genius - he convinced his base that politician has a right not to show to voters how much he is donating to charities, if he cheated on his tax returns, if he made suspicious deals with dictators or drug dealers.
    GENIUS!!!

    Except small, unimportant things like his tax returns, whether he'll accept the result of the election or whether he's currently Covid positive or not...
