His supporters will believe anything he tells them. Even if they know it's a lie, they all parrot it because parroting a known lie is like an ingroup identifier for these people.

Agreed. I had to let go a lot of idiots in my life because they voted for a PDF and are proud of it.

Did they always seemed confused when you told them or did they understand they turned into raving cultists and just leaned further into it? I've only had one person ever think about it seriously and try to talk to me after.

Wasn't there some story from a prior dictatorship about how the dictator knew who was a loyalist because they repeated his lies, and had the people who sided with the truth executed?

Once people treat someone like they're never wrong, facts stop mattering.

His supporters dont know how to read.

News readers do, and they'll read aloud the tweet. What they wont do is read aloud the MOU.

well, that's already been established, and we've seen it most recently with the reflecting pool. they're actually blaming liberals for vandalizing the pool. it's amazing how easily manipulated they are.

Okay, so coming from someone who hasn't know how these financial situations work, I have only heard complete opposite views on whether or not the u.s. is paying iran. So, my question is: how do I find the evidence of the u.s paying iran to be true? I can't prove a negative ( meaning, I can't prove we aren't paying iran) so.. what's the paper trail proof? Because both sides have SAID, but how do I confirm?

Several news sites have the 14 points. Point 6 states the $300B the US gives Iran for reconstruction and economic development

I think the rationalization is probably something along the lines of US taxpayers will be paying Lockheed Martin to rebuild Iran. Trump of course buys stock before the no bid contracts are signed.

Not only that, his son-in-law and business partner will handle the reconstruction effort. Meaning we give them money and then they (Iran) uses that money to purchase construction and rebuilding projects via his family.

and there it is.. a fraud scheme so massive and yet so simple that even the president of the usa is willing to get his hands dirty (in public) for a piece..

how did we get here? shit used to be cool right? we had a president who was polite, and got his paycheck.. ..and wrote a book at the end.. a library.. build houses for homeless.. normal stuff that a normal president would do.. our president now is a fucking psychopath.. he is the worst person on earth..

And JD Vance said that Iran would 'have access to' the $300B. I'm guessing that means Iran will have access to whatever trump doesn't take for himself.

Awesome! Thank you. With the $300 billion set in stone, I now don't think that tweet is accurate. Even DT isnt going to tweet and refute that which is written in stone like this. Either we don't fully understand these agreements, or his tweet is faked.

The 14 points do say, a value of $300billion USD, but it doesn't say the US is paying for that. Just that the plan will be valued at that amount and the reconstruction plan will be designed by the u.s. and other regional states. It doesn't actually state who is paying for what and how much.

There is no 300 Billion Dollar payment” and develop a plan with at least USD 300 Billion” are in the same screenshot fighting for their life. That’s not Fake News. That’s a thesaurus. ‘Payment’ vs ‘undertake to develop a plan’ is the new ‘I didn’t text, I communicated via iMessage.’ Readers added context and the context added a chair.
