You called it, Gillian.  Trump and his ilk (Milo, Spencer, etc.) thrive on 
their ability to invoke.  Beliefs and knowledge take a back seat, which is why 
they are so capable of munging the facts and changing their tune when 
confronted.

So I have to disagree fundamentally with Nick, Merle, Tom, Frank, and Pamela.  
He's not "that stupid".  In fact, that question is irrelevant.  He simply knows 
how to push the buttons, especially of the well-intentioned people who care 
about beliefs and knowledge.
