Trump routinely claims that his troop deployments in cities are tremendously popular with those cities' populations. "You have black women with MAGA hats on in Chicago, all over the place." Actual opinion surveys tell a different story.

Yeah, but the thing is, there's a good chance Trump doesn't know because the people who manage him don't seem to tell him the truth.
Every once in awhile he has a event where he sort of admits confusion about the facts, saying flat out that something can't be right because the people around him told him otherwise.
This really is a case where people around the official are manipulating him for their own ends.
