Trump continues with his stubborn ways, and refuses to back-down on his hogwash story, according to this (Sunday) morning's debate between NBC's Chuck Todd and Donald Trump.
Here is a short-article (via WaPo) on this morning's question and answer comments, between the two :

An excerpt from the article, that I would like to post here ...
Trump's argument boils down to this: I don't care what published fact-checks say. I have heard from people on Twitter who tell me they saw the same thing I did.
Trump uses the social media response he gets to the outrageous claims he makes as justification that those claims are correct. That is, of course, ridiculous. As Chuck rightly notes, many of the people who follow Trump simply want to see the world as he sees it and function and yes-men for him.
Who are the "yes-men" on our Atlas site, who salivate and believe in every lie that Trump tells ?
The "yes men" thing is scarily accurate. Trump's followers automatically believe Trump, and any person (no matter how credible) who says Trump's statements are wrong is just part of the "mainstream conspiracy" to bring him down. He says things his followers WANT to be true.
It's not a campaign. It's a personality cult.
