negative info he hears about his opponents and critics. He's as gullible as a child in falling for the latest conspiracy theory or the popular fake news lead being pushed by the rightwing media.

If he sees something on TV or reads it on the internet that seems to be proof enough to make him a true believer. Scares me to think about the motives and agenda of the people in power (domestic and foreign) who create and distribute this toxic propaganda to millions of low info voters who also support Trump's brand of insanity.
