Donald Trump believes almost everything he’s told. Ordinarily, intense gullibility is a rather undearing trait, something that makes the town goof all the more lovable. When it’s the guy with access to the nuclear briefcase… You start to get a little worried.
Seasoned Trump observers have long known that whatever you whisper into Trump, he’ll invariably spit back out in the following hours and days. His staff and advisors practically rely on this to get their message out: for example today Trump was insisting that Chicago is currently “a killing field”. It’s not, but Stephen Miller (a guess, but it sounds like him) told him that earlier and now as far as Trump is concerned, it’s the gospel truth.
