Instead of "Please show me your facts, citing reputable impartial evidence." instead respond with "Did you get that from WorldNutDaily?" or "What other drivel did Breitbart drill into your skull today?"

If they defensively say no, respond with "So you're just making it up then? Pulling alternative facts out of the air?"

It is safe to assume that what a Trumper says is not a fact, from something that is not reputable, and has no impartial evidence to back it up and so you should act accordingly.
