That makes for a vivid mental image.

My biggest concern about Trump has always been his gullibility. He seems to buy into any conspiracy theory or tweet he hears that confirms his beliefs. For a seasoned businessman he sure has a lousy bunkum detector. He doesn't gravitate toward the brightest people on any given topic, and he doesn't much care about finding the best information.

Worse, verifying the information he receives just isn't a great passion for Trump. He believes the information he wants to believe, and he's not particularly interested in learning that he was wrong on any particular subject.

Sounds like someone living in a world where the sources of information have seriously lost credibility. Elections can be rigged, and so can scientific data. I've learned to snopes everything, but I'm still not 100% sure some stuff still isn't BS.
