Extraordinary accusations require extraordinary evidence. You have no actual evidence.

But here's a thought experiment for you. Let's say I'm accusing you of sexually molesting farm animals. Okay, prove me wrong. If you can't prove it's false right here right now beyond all possible doubt, we'll just assume it's true. Seems fair, right?

That's politics for you. Anyone can toss out a random accusation. Anyone can take fragment statements out of context and ignore their original intended meaning. The whole stupid game here is that you can make the most ridiculous and unsubstantiated accusation imaginable against "the other team." Some people are so blinded by their own bias and tribalism, they'll believe it without a second thought.

You twist yourself in such knots to support your narrative.

Not to mention offending potential Democrat "voters".

About a quarter of that 325 million are too young to vote.

The election was in 2016 (not 2017), only about 60% of those eligible to vote did so, and he (about 63 million) and Hillary Clinton (about 65 million) essentially split the majority of that 60%, with Trump winning on electoral votes. So Trump's supporters were a little under 50% of those who voted.
