That assumes his supporter think logically. All Trump need do is insult others and change the topic with plenty more lies. His supporters will believe.

Remember, a crook Nixon still had his core 30% strong supporters even as he resigned in disgrace and criminal guilt. Those naive Nixon (and Trump) supporters refuse to acknowledge reality. It is the nature of many who still think like children; who only know what their extremist political biases order them to believe.

That wall would be paid for by Mexico - an obvious lie when he said it. It probably costs $25billion. Trump said 5. Now he says 2.5. Does not matter. He is not preaching to adults who think like adults. He is preaching only to adults still thinking like children. Trump can lie all he wants and they will love him for it. Logic cannot explain conclusions that only come from emotion.
