WATCH Don Lemon Shut Down A Trump Supporter Who Claims Americans Approve Of The POTUS

The vast majority of those who support Donald Trump clearly do not have a firm grip on reality. They believe all of the lies Trump tells them and are convinced he’s doing great even though he’s under siege on all sides thanks to his own words and actions.

A perfect example of this played out on CNN Tuesday evening when host Don Lemon was talking to former South Carolina Lt. Governor Andre Bauer. Lemon asked Bauer if he thought Trump had been lying when he tweeted out that former President Obama had wiretapped him. To that, Bauer replied:

“I don’t know how you would do surveillance on all the people supposedly associated with him and Russia without some form of surveillance, maybe not wiretapping, but some type of surveillance.”

Lemon:

“And you think the former president ordered this surveillance? Because some people, certain American people by the way, think that is not true, we shouldn’t cover it?”

Bauer responded:

“No, absolutely not. I will say I don’t think he should have used the president in his tweet — I wish he had not. But other than that, I think he probably knows more than we think. But I’ll give you this other fact. Rasmussen just did a poll and 42 percent of Americans think that country is not where we want to be, but think the country is moving in the right direction when a year ago it was 20 percent.”

The CNN host, clearly sick of Bauer’s attempt at spinning Trump’s pathetic poll numbers, reminded him:

“His approval rating is at 37 percent.”

And then Lemon shut Bauer down completely with this:

“A fact is a fact. Every single response to something that is not favorable to Donald Trump is his voters don’t care about it. That means nothing talking when you are about facts. A lot of people don’t care about a lot of things. Guess what? When people say they didn’t want this or that, a lot of people didn’t believe that same sex should get married. A lot of people didn’t think that black and white people get married. A lot of people didn’t believe that blacks and whites should go to school together. A lot of people didn’t believe in integration. But guess what? It wasn’t the right thing to do and it wasn’t the truth about what America is.

“So does that mean we should ignore facts and ignore what most of the American people care about because a small number of people, Trump supporters, who are not living in reality?”

Trump supporters hate facts because they know facts destroy their stupid fictions any day of the week.
