(paraphrasing) But the gist is he's kept in a bubble of misinformation all day so that's how he ends up thinking that Portland is a war-zone or that Chicago is more dangerous than Afghanistan.

Shit, I would not be surprised if the intel he gets is cooked up by chatgpt trained on QAnon posts.

Listen to The Dollop's two parter on Regan if you want to learn more about how they do this. Staffers got Tom Clancy to put certain things in his books so Regan would read them and 'think of them himself'. It's the same thing now but with SocialSlop

Reagan could read?

[–] fannin@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago

Yeah. I don’t buy the idea that Reagan read books.

You are probably right but that is also true for many of Trumps followers. Like way to many conservatives believe large cities are full of scenes from Mad Max.

And as you said im sure Trump gets a lot of heavily biased info. Like even if our wet boi wanted to make "informed" decisions it would be hard with "well points at everyone around Trump"
