Former President Donald Trump’s supporters say they hold him as a source of true information over their family, friends, and religious leaders, according to a new CBS News/YouGov poll out on Sunday.

    Considering that Trump told them that COVID-19 wouldn’t kill them and their family said it would, of course they would trust him since it didn’t. Those that died of COVID, of course, didn’t answer the poll. Survivorship bias!

      If your family is the type that goes for trump, then there’s no wonder.

      They see first had their family and friends are not the brightest bulbs, they just miss he irony.

      The only people who told me Covid would kill me is those in power. Everyone else seemed to think it was just another virus…

      We also found it strange that we were told it’s a major issue for at risk people (duh, everything is), but then sent certain groups, like the elderly, that were confirmed sick back into their communities of at risk folk…

      It was a cluster of nonsense. Yea, we want to be safe. We don’t want to get sick even if it is minor, but the cluster of clusters was clusterific.
