Now we're in a dangerous situation where the head of state, if they wanted, could lie about something and the people would just believe them. Not saying he would, but that is the situation we are in now for many people.
Imagine if Hitlery had won, it would be North Korea levels of this: they literally believe anything she says, no matter how outlandish, even outside the realm of politics. Case in point, turning the left for TPP, big banks etc overnight.
The same unwashed hippies who were protesting outside of banks a few years ago are now the corporatist Red Guard. That's some brainwash.
TLDR: Many people that voted for Trump voted for him due to disillusionment with lying media, i.e., skepticism. The fact that they trust a (thus far) reliable source doesn't mean they blindly trust anything.
