Here are 10 incredibly fake facts that Trump supporters think are true

Americans, divided and polarized as they are, live in two distinct worlds. In one world, the earth is not flat, climate change is real and Bill and Hillary aren’t pimping kids out in the basement of a pizza restaurant.

The other world is devoid of reason, evidence and pretty much any type of historical facts. Despite the fact that Trump voters have been fleeced by the biggest con man in the world, they continue to devour the lies he sells on a silver platter. When it comes to facts, Trump supporters aren’t head over heels in love with them. After all, Trump’s rise came as a result of playing to uninformed and angry people’s primal and worst sensibilities. They’re right and the entire world is wrong, because that’s what their cult leader told them, and who needs Google anyway?

2. The economy is improving because of Trump.

If there’s anything Trump does better than filing for Chapter 11, it’s taking credit for things other people have done. Part-time First Lady Melania Trump stole a speech from Michelle Obama, so it only seems fitting that the Donald do it as well. Now, even though he hasn’t signed a single piece of economic legislation and all economic data is just a continuation of President Obama’s efforts, Trump seems to have no issue taking credit for all of the positive economic news. And despite the fact that Trump had been in office for a whopping two weeks, Fox News gave Trump full credit for a positive jobs report in January.

5. Trump should have the power to overturn judicial rulings.

Utterly clueless when it comes to the U.S. Constitution (except for the Second Amendment), 51 percent of Trump supporters think the Executive Branch should have the power to overrule the Judicial Branch. This came after Trump was overruled in his efforts to impose a Muslim travel ban.

We can laugh about some of these, but the fact that so many Trump supporters remain willfully ignorant should really concern us. You can't reason with people who won't or can't accept proven facts.

Substitute the name "Obama" for "Trump" and their opinions would be 180 degrees opposite.

Their minds are made up and are impervious to reason. They will never be convinced, unfortunately.

and a Democratic president is elected, those tens of millions of Trump supporters will be going nowhere. They will just keep up the battle, waiting for the Democratic infighting and divisions to begin and wait for Democrats to become complacent and they will be back again and we will be so shocked and surprised. So unless the Left remains vigilant, that's what will happen.
