Leave it to the codger Grassley to not put up with nonsense when he here's it.

I'd guess that I could name at least a half dozen writers on this site that would accept all those statements as fact, without looking.   If Trump say's it's true, they believe it's true.   It's about salesmanship, not facts.     Trump can sell.   

Oh boy, just what I wanted in the White House, a salesmen without a predatory streak.  Victims are always the 'losers'.
