What does Trump not know about? How is he being misinformed? [View all]

Kept in the dark? He thought there was war going on in Portland now when he was shown footage from stife there in 2020. He think he polls at 65% favourability. He didn't seem to get that the shutdown was about ACA Healthcare subsidies. How else is he being mis-informed?

This is the clip that inspired my post: Sen. Mark Kelly.
