The crowd jammed into a private dining room at the back of an Olive Garden on Wednesday night was made up of the hardest of hard-core supporters — true believers burning with passion for President Donald Trump.For about 90 people at the newest Donald Trump Club — this one in deeply Democratic blue Broward County — he was the president who could do no wrong, with public policy and political party counting less than support for all-things-Trump, which counted for everything.How’s he doing? “Phenomenal. Where do I start?” said Andrew Brett of Wilton Manors. “Trump could find a cure for cancer, and they would tear it down saying it’s not right. And I still support his tweeting.”Barbara Rizzo of West Palm Beach, who wasn’t anywhere near Brett, said later that if Trump sneezed, “they’d go ‘he polluted the air.’ ”Any failures during the president’s almost 15 months in office aren’t the fault … [Read more...] about Newest Donald Trump club forms — in deeply Democratic Broward

Study: Fake news might have won Donald Trump the 2016 election
President Donald Trump has said repeatedly that Russian interference didn't matter in the 2016 election, and he has suggested -- wrongly -- that the intelligence and law enforcement communities have said the same. His overriding fear seems to be that Russian interference and the "fake news" it promoted would undermine the legitimacy of his election win. Trump won't like this new study one bit. The study from researchers at Ohio State University finds that fake news likely played a significant role in depressing Hillary Clinton's support on Election Day 2016.
