If these stories are true, the psychological damage will be irreparable

Trump supporters tend to see everything as some type of liberal conspiracy and do not believe anything unless it is from one of their own "sources".

The PissGate story would create such a dissonance that they would not be able to handle it psychologicaly. It would be a sight to behold. The hell within their own minds would be impossible to describe.

but if 'grab 'em by the pu**y" didn't do anything some consensual watersports ain't going to.

The bastard could grab an Uzi from the SS and fire the entire mag into a group of people and the rethugs would be boasting about his marksmanship.

that even if they have pictures...video, even...there will still be lots who will think it's a fake.

Or a set-up.

The set-up thing not even making sense if you think about it. How can you set someone up to do something he would never even consider doing anyway?

But such is the mind of a fanatic...
