I have no problem with stating undisputed facts. The point is the claim about Trump is portrayed as undisputed, when it clearly is disputed. So if someone said "It is undeniable that the Earth is flat and anyone who supports the idea of spherical Earth is evil" then yes I'd say that person is stuck in a mindset and unwilling to consider alternatives.

Those arguments you copied are for different claims and were made by a different person.

They are not saying it's undisputed. That's your interpretation.

I claim "It is undeniable that the Earth is not flat and anyone who supports the idea of spherical Earth is ignorant of the facts."

Am I stuck in a mindset and unwilling to consider alternatives?

The arguments I copied were those used by the authors of the new policy to justify their claims. That they were made by a different person is not relevant. I can point to Eratosthenes to defend my anti-flat-Earth stance, without having to write out his arguments myself.
