A Trump lickspittle doesn’t have to believe anything, all they have to do is erase any standards of thought and stop caring whether a thing is true or false.

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist.”

― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
