If you want a hint on that, Glen Beck, the "madder than a hater" wacko 
that helped promote the Birther movement in the US was caught on the 
O'Reily show saying that he thought Donald Trump was completely insane, 
if he actually believed it, and that he and O'Reily where simply paid to 
be provocateurs, unlike someone that actually believed that nonsense.

Hell no a lot of them don't believe one bloody bit of it. Mind, depends 
on which "bit" you think they believe. They whine about, for example, 
the life of unborn babies, yet statistically the same right wingers are 
the ones "most commonly" using the services, in some parts of the 
country. So.. What is the real problem they have with it? Well, one Tea 
Party Nation email seemed to imply that it was fear of being out breed 
by non-white people, due to women being able to choose if they have 
children, and the same women being encouraged to have careers (instead 
of being mothers). So.. Which crazy assed stupidity is the one that is 
really driving it? Or is it some third insanity that isn't in either one 
of those objections? The only thing certain is, they know which buttons 
to push among the gullible and clueless, whether or not their real 
reason for wanting it bares any resemblance to that thing or not.
