This thread (which I admit I have stopped following in detail) seems a great illustration of the "backfire effect," "the effect in which corrections actually increase misperceptions ..."

Actually, you should speak for yourself. You can only backfire if you fire. But there's been no backfire for me thank you very much.

For me this thread has been informative. I took the thread's title at face value: a running account of Trump's early days in office and samplings of grassroots thinking on the matter. I've learned some of what a few verbally inclined people are thinking on these topics, and being outside the U.S. but American that has been a help.
