They believe Trump, and the longer there's no push back on his "side" of the story (pretty certain Fox and the rest of the reich-wing blogosphere are not reporting on the Pentagon's contrary take on the attack), the more solidified they will become in their opinion, no matter how wrong it is. Once they've petrified their belief, it won't matter if Trump (or anyone in his administration) contradicts what they were initially told.
