Apparently, for the next 4 years anything trump doesn't agree with will be deemed "fake"

This does not mean it is fake or without fact, most likely the opposite will be true.

So anything trump or his talking heads call fake should be considered factual and anything trump or the talking g heads say is fact will be considered "fake".

He will continue to get away with his crimes until the voters intervene.

1000 x 0 = 0
the facts can line up against him in any number and he'll skate, no way the GOP intervenes to stop him (unless he tries to shoehorn a medicare expansion into the ACA replacement)

when the dumpster fails to perform, he'll tweet some bullshit about liberals getting in his way, and exhort his followers to kick some leftist butts, which will keep them occupied for a while

he'll keep the vast majority of his voters.

The few defectors will be nullified by a further increase in voter suppression at a federal level. 50 state voter ID, end all early voting, "modernize" (paperless) voting and finally implementing "Authorized Poll Watchers."

This nightmare is not going to be over quickly.
