    His followers don’t care. They probably didn’t even watch the debate anyway, and even if they did it’s been abundantly clear for years now that millions of Americans - for some inexplicable reason - will choose to believe Trump’s words over the evidence of facts, their own memories and even their own direct sensory input.

      Exactly. His followers expect there to have been an audience and those fictional people should have been crazy about it…

      And to make it worse, they are none too concerned with facts to begin with.

        It’s weird. Like, this is the kind of lie that is so easily disprovable. Like ask anyone who was there.

        But his followers won’t. And even if they did, they’ll just accuse them of being trans and dismiss it.

        These people could have been at the debate, knowing full well that there wasn’t an audience, and they’ll convince themselves that they were wrong and Trump is right.
