That Wikipedia is maybe a good jumping off point, but something you would never cite.

And that like Reddit is just a crazy rabbit hole.

But Trump is willing to treat those all equally.

So if a poll is in his favor, he likes that poll.

And you're right.

He gets a lot of information from people for various reasons, because they want him to

Yeah.

He does not differentiate between that information.

I think his lens of it is someone who's quite transactional.

He views it sort of like, is this something I like or is this something I don't like?

And if it's something he likes, he will repeat it ad nauseum whether or not it is true.

And if it's something he doesn't like, he will choose not to accept it as fact and will probably not put it out on Truth Social.

I mean, that's like a genteel way of putting it.

But sure.

I mean, I would also argue he he has a long history legitimately of sort of bending reality to his will.

And that's tricky because, for instance, we should all say here he lost the 2020 election.

He just he lost it.

But at the same time, he convinced a huge swath of the country that he was the rightful president in exile at Mar-a-Lago and that the election was stolen.

And so...

I don't really know what my macro point is because I am arguing that there's actual tangible facts and truth.
