After then-Attorney General William Barr gave an interview to The Associated Press in December 2020 saying there was no widespread voter fraud, Trump was so enraged that he threw his plate of food at the wall, smearing it with ketchup, Hutchinson said.

“There was ketchup dripping down the wall and a shattered porcelain plate on the floor,” Hutchinson testified, noting that aides nearby conveyed the president was “extremely angry” at the Barr interview. She told the committee that she then grabbed a towel and started wiping the ketchup off the wall alongside a presidential valet.

David Sacks just ludicrously made up that Ron DeSantis' Twitter space was the largest group that "has ever met online." There are 100,000 people in this thing.

• someone with no way of forgiving themselves of their original sin and are just hanging on to the idea that they are right. The 'good guy' that will just not update their data. I think this group is very small (maybe 15%)
• some totally garbage person whose (previously secret) ugly opinions have been vindicated by Trump and refuse to lose hold of their most expedient path to righteousness. They will never let go. Never. And they are absolutely horrible people.
  They may care about their neighbor, they may care about their kid... but they are horrible/garbage people

His record is spotless.

That's his secret. He started in on day one using his charisma to convince people that 'facts' weren't important, and turned that into a cult-level adoration in which anything that makes him look bad is simply incorrect (a lefty lie, a lib conspiracy theory, something concocted by the media, something from the deep state, etc.) At first he supplied the stories, and then his followers started fabricating them themselves. He doesn't even need to respond to a claim for it to be fully proven false in the eyes of his faithful.

That's why people keep getting surprised by Trump. His record is awful, and it seems like his base should be reacting to that, but they aren't. Non-MAGAs need to stop trying to rationalize Trump's support, because Trump's support isn't built on rationality. It's built on willful delusion.
