Trump: I think voters should be required to show identification to vote, we must show ID when we shop.

Person trying to deflect from subject at hand: LOL, Trump said you have to show ID to shop.

I was led to believe for quite some time that the person making a claim has the burden of proof. When the proof backing their argument is false, I did not realize that one must accept the falsehood and address the argument as if the faulty evidence supporting it were true. 

I would argue that folks make up things to distract from the actual issue at hand. When you're trying to argue that there's voter fraud and we need to have a greater burden on voters to vote, one would expect evidence to back that up, like 3 to 5 million illegal votes in the 2016 elections (which I was told happened). I imagine there's a commission that could explore this and provide relevant evidence to support the need for voter ID laws.
