"Do people believe [Trump]?"
*
I often wonder if people really believe what they claim. How can we know, whether or not they believe? How can they know? And, if they do actually believe, what is their definition of "belief"? Do they realize believing means they don't "know"? If they knew, then they wouldn't have to believe. Do they realize that, besides the existence of an infinite all-powerful being, we can, mostly, learn the facts, and actually know things: We don't have to believe.

So when Trump says what he does, do his supporters think of him as God, and, therefore, unknowable? Or do they go someplace safe for their news, and confirm their own bias? Belief is a weird thing, so often mistaken for knowing. But, to answer the question: Yes, if they're a Trump supporter, they believe him, as if he was God--breaking the 1st commandment, by the way.
