Some of Trump’s supporters told BuzzFeed News that their media consumption habits changed during the campaign.

One supporter told BuzzFeed News that she was turned off by a changed media landscape. “Our local paper fell apart,” she said, and too many outlets rush to be first. Now, she said, she watches Right Side Broadcasting — a mostly YouTube channel that gained prominence by streaming every Trump campaign rally — and “watched MSNBC [on election night] because I wanted to see them whine.”

Another supporter told BuzzFeed News he either gets his news from C-SPAN — which mostly airs the workings of government without commentary — and the Kremlin-backed Russia Today, now known as RT.

Other supporters said they got their news from Facebook — recently embroiled in a controversy over promoting fake news — the National Enquirer, and Dennis Michael Lynch, who openly promotes news favorable to Trump.

Some said they became more engaged with news and politics when Trump began running for office. Jeinne Eubanks, 56, of Summerfield, FL told BuzzFeed News she did not follow politics at all until she heard Trump was running.

“When my mom told me he was running, I’d never even watched news because I was always just so fed up with everything,” Eubanks said. “I started paying attention, and I have just loved that man, would take a bullet for him, since day one.”

When asked where she gets her news, Eubanks said she TiVo’s Fox News.

When asked what news he trusts to stay informed, one supporter answered that the president was the answer.

“We can trust Donald.”

4. I almost feel bad for the person there at the end that says

"We can trust Donald".

Just relying on memory, not googling anything, "Donald" has had to pay out when he was involved with a fraud case regarding his "university", some members who paid for his country club and did not get what they paid for and reports of contractors who did not get paid when they did work for him.

I am not sure why anyone would trust someone like that. But, we live in a society where "mega-churches" are formed. So maybe i am just a bit more careful about who I trust.
