This is honestly a key to Trump's success. By not living in the real world of facts and reality but instead inhabiting the pretend world of TV he really can understand and communicate well with the many, many Americans who also live in a fantasy world in a way most politicians can't.

One extra connection I would like to offer here. plenty of people have lamented the 'stupid' figures of Homer Simpson, Al Bundy, or name your stereotypical sitcom husband, but I think one of the powerful things the show "Kevin can F**k Himself" highlighted was the other-world-ness that stupid people can seem to exist in. That show also powerfully depicts the depression and gas-lighting those who have to inhabit reality with such people have to deal with.
