Harvey Discussion with MAGA co-worker

[sharedvalues]

8. Try "Did you see what Fox said today?" [i.e. "Fox lied today, did you see that?"]

"Fox ignored that the president has said before he would donate money, then he doesn't do it. And Fox said the president would donate $1M to Harvey without saying how many times Trump had lied about this before."

This HAS worked for me. When you point out that Fox lies, Trumpkins will react aggressively. But there's a 50/50 chance they'll come back to me in two weeks with much-watered-down views. It's like a cult, and you have to break the information lock before you change people's minds.

"Searching for evidence of Trump’s personal giving
The Washington Post has contacted more than 400 charities with some ties to the GOP nominee in an effort to find proof of the millions he has said he donated to them. We’ve mostly been unsuccessful."

In 2012, Trump said he'd donate $5 million for that proof.

"Now then, what wasn’t reported by the press is, sometime just prior to the expiration date of that offer, I raised the offer to $50 million. $50 million! For charity,' Trump said in 2014. "Pick your charity, for $50 million, and let me see your records! And I never heard from him."

On Friday, Trump said he'd been convinced of Obama's birthplace at last. At an event at his hotel in downtown Washington, Trump gave a brief statement, affirming that President Obama had been born in the U.S.

Trump then quickly left the podium, and the room, without taking any questions.
So Trump must have seen the proof he wanted.
Now, will he donate the money?
