When he can't present his evidence in a courtroom to support his claims. You'd think they would figure out he's doing the same thing over and over again. He did it with where President Obama was born, even claiming at one point his investigators were finding tremendous amounts of stuff, but like M. Cohen said he likely had zero people looking into it. He's pulled this same stunt on others too claiming something he knows is a lie. But why do his supporters believe him, he's failed to have any of his lawyers present evidence, and its easy to see he doesn't have any, just more lies. Eventually they'll realize he's lying so he can grift money from them, and then really be pissed he used them. 50+ courtroom appearances and zero evidence a fraud was committed, even his lawyers admit NO fraud was committed, while trump lies claiming the opposite. Wake up rubes, he's stealing your money, and making fools of you.

For all of their theories gone wrong, no apologies!
Aristus
(66,591 posts)Their one bright spot is having Presidential sanction for their racism, bigotry, misogyny, and misanthropy. They're terrified of losing that. What else is there to go back to?

LiberalBrooke
(527 posts)They could finally be openly racist and misogynists with him as their president.
Pobeka
(4,999 posts)Because if he's lying now, he was lying back then, when they jumped on the Trump bandwagon.
These are the people who would rather die, have their children die, or have you die than to admit they are now, or were ever wrong.
Just good 'ol fashioned hubris.

This country has been so divided by these fucking assholes that some people will believe whatever they want to believe regardless of any inconvenient facts that happen to get in the way.
I'm done with them.
tblue37
(65,619 posts)Because RW media keep telling them that the courts are just refusing to even look at all the evidence they are trying to present.
Propaganda works.
