Shouldn't be a big surprise. They don't form views for themselves based upon logic ,evidence or morality - they receive their views subliminally according to which ones are rewarded and which are punished. The very first stage of brainwashing is to convince the subject subconsciously that his own thoughts and conclusions are unreliable and eventually they stop trying to think for themselves and wait to be openly or subliminally prompted by the controller about what the " correct " opinion is.

It's originally a Chinese method which was perfected against British and American POWs during and after the Korean War. Mao later did it on a grand scale during the "cultural revolution", brainwashing millions of Chinese to obey the dogma of the Party.
You simply take the methods of brainwashing and do the same thing on a bigger scale through your media and education systems you see.

The Soviets flirted with it, inventing the concept of " politically correct " language and "hate speech " as an indirect method of gradually introducing the idea that they could define what was and wasn't acceptable for individuals to say and think. They weren't as successful as the Chinese because the Soviet Union was so diverse and they couldn't control information sources as effectively. Food additives such as fluoride and vaccinations play a part in this too, and unlike the Chinese, they couldn't control the water people were drinking or persuade their many ethnic groups to roll their kids sleeves up for the needle .

The CIA, being infested like NASA with many ex Nazis via Operation Paperclip soon became interested in these methods in a way they shouldn't , and it spread through the intelligence agencies of the West like a terrible virus of the mind. Some would call that virus "Evil", and it soon allied with others who suffered from it in industry and politics to set us on the road to where we now find ourselves.

Trump knows all this, and he is trying to reverse it, so it's no surprise that he is the target of those who are unwitting echo chambers of the other side. He's not the only one opposing them, but he's the public face of it so he gets the full constant withering fire of these unfortunate automatons.
They don't understand any of this of course and I'm afraid that you're never going to convince them of this or dispel anything which they fervently believe but which doesn't make sense.
