The major findings on what Trump supporters believe: A majority (52 percent) of Trump supporters say they believe the claim about Haitian migrants “abducting and eating pet dogs and cats.” Excluding those who are “not sure,” twice as many say it’s at least “probably true” as say it’s at least “probably false.” (There remains no real evidence for this claim. Officials have debunked it and linked it to threats, and Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine on Sunday called it “a piece of garbage that was simply not true.”) www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/the-staggering-reach-of-trump-s-misinformation-not-just-on-haitian-migrants/ar-AA1qFaly?ocid=BingNewsSerpDoes this matter because of the spectacle or the weirdness or the ridiculousness? No, it matters because MAGA is primed to believe anything they get through their propaganda channels, and anything coming from the tribe is automatically trusted or given the benefit of the doubt. MAGA is easily manipulated because they WANT to be manipulated.

Nefarious that he and his family overestimated his capabilities? Like Trump has apparently over-estimated his capabilities? Ego is nefarious? Or is ego just ego? Octogenarians not willing to bow out, not realizing their time is past....is new? It's nefarious? Trump has lied continuously about the 2020 election. Is that nefarious? I guess not to you.

What a wonderful straw man. The administration and the establishment media was hiding the decline of the president of the United States. In a way, they still are. Two things can be true. I don’t believe that Trump won the 2020 election. I think things he says about that are untrue. He might believe them. I don’t know. But he didn’t have the entire corporate media and bureaucracy supporting his lies, did he?

Whether it's the percentage of blacks beat by police, or immigrants eating pets, the perception is created by outside factors. In this case the hyperbolic rhetoric of team Trump.
We're all suckers to our bias.

This would have almost certainly been little more than a passing comment barely heard or noticed by anyone except that the political left and media outrage machine had to play it up.

That Haitian thing is not about lying, it is about the candidate for president of the most powerful country in the world, saying right to the cameras that he believed this bogus, racist story, because he saw it on television. This is a person who cannot tell reality from TV. If having someone in that role who will make decisions based on TV does not bother you, then Donald is your guy. The rest of us consider it irresponsible to have a person like that in charge. Frankly, terrifying. Freon

Freon A senile man who isn’t really the president but is presented as the president by the establishment and its pet press is actually far more terrifying. You’re told the cat eating is not happening… by the media. We’re all believing things from others except what’s around us.

The left propaganda machine is great at misdirection The real story is a town of 55k approx has had to take on 15-20k new “citizens” of varying legal status in a few years. That’s almost impossible for a town this size to do. The mayor went into detail what has happened. The Biden Harris admin has failed miserably in managing the border and immigration. And they take zero responsibility.

Yeah, I don't know about this, 'sharp and focused', quote you keep using. I don't watch left/moderate news, so I guess that's where it comes from? Biden is just fine. He's old, sure, but in a crunch, he'd make good decisions. I would vote for him again. But having watched Donald in that last debate, I would not define him as 'sharp and focused'. He's old too, and Harris CRUSHED him. Just hold the two old guys under the same magnifying glass, and you will, for once, be honest about things. Freon

And they take zero responsibility. Then why not say so? Instead you're defending Agent Orange's inability to communicate without hyperbole and outright lies. The only thing more embarassing than him, is his defenders reinterpreting what he REALLY meant.

And they take zero responsibility. Why would they want to discuss the actual issue? When they can distract their easily manipulatable sheep with a focus on one meaningless side-story? I think this is all marketing at this point from Trump and Vance. More and more people are talking about Springfield, and even as they notice a lack of cat carcasses, they notice something else that's quite puzzling.
