No, I support Trump obviously. I have little use for most of the Republican Party though.

Yes, some of them are already firmly embedded in their point of view (and call it "common sense" - just like some here in Germany do). These are not the ones whom I try to reach. But according to some research made in Europe, in similar cases there's also a group of people who might just be starting to believe in these things, and these ones can still be reached and convinced to change their view.

Donald Trump perpetuated and expanded on a lie he told during his joint address to Congress where he claimed the Biden administration spent millions of dollars on scientific research to make mice transgender.

Trump in an interview with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo that aired Sunday said that the head of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, billionaire and world's richest man Elon Musk, has “found hundreds of billions of dollars worth of fake [government] contracts.”

“I read them — just a tiny portion of them — the other night,” Trump said. “Transgender surgery on mice — hundreds of — I mean the money they're spending on all of this stuff. The whole thing's a scam.”

After Trump alleged that the government spent millions “making mice transgender” in his congressional speech, outlets fact checked Trump's claims, and the White House released a list of studies it said backed up the assertions. But Rolling Stone's close look at the list revealed that the vast majority of the research was not focused on making mice transgender. It was aiming to gain knowledge to help human health — for example examining the effects of estrogen on asthma in women or how cross-sex hormones affect fertility. One study mentions “transgenic mice” which is not the same thing as “transgender mice.” Transgenic mice are genetically modified mice that “have had DNA from another source put into their DNA,” according to the National Cancer Institute. These kinds of mice are used to study how certain diseases might affect humans.

None of the studies on the White House's list looked at “transgender surgery” on mice, something Trump tried to claim on Fox News that the government was funding.
