I think the main issue is, and I'm guilty of this too, Trump is such a fucking. moron. that it's honestly easier to believe he doesn't understand a word his medical advisors say to him, and just parrots whatever conspiracy theory he sees on Fox News or Don Jr. shares from whatever Q subreddit he's trawling. Also the idea that he has a firm grasp between reality and fiction, I wouldn't have bet on.

That's less soupy than I honestly would have given his brain credit for. It's like when you realize your toddler just told their first conscious lie, but in Benjamin Button reverse.
