Trump and his followers are truth proclaimers, not truth seekers. They believe truth is dictated by consensus, volume, devotion, etc because that's what their religion and their narcissistic delusions teach them. Everyone else knows that truth is something to be analyzed and determined, not proclaimed.
So in general, yeah it's a waste of time paying attention to what their reaction is. They're a predictable bunch.
You can see every moment a senior dev went to management and asked for time or money to develop a certain type of interaction and were told no every single time.
