They're grasping for straws.

The right leaning supporters that I've come across have stopped regurgitating Trump's tweet memes. Now they're scraping the bottom of the denial barrel for positive news. Not only are they denying that Trump wants Meals on Wheels eliminated, but they are now claiming that the Flint water contamination was cleaned up with Trump's EPA. I can't bring myself to argue with them. It wouldn't be kind. They have a rough road ahead.

That's where the money for Flint came from. It had nothing to do with Donald Trump.

excellent phrase whenever I have to have this conversation:

"I can't bring myself to argue with you. It wouldn't be kind. You have a rough road ahead."

Perfect!
