Credulity: a state of willingness to believe in one or many people or things in the absence of reasonable proof or knowledge; gullibility.
Example: The belief that every bungle/failure of President Trump is actually either (a) a success, (b) what he REALLY wanted all along, or ( c) the fault of somebody else who's victimized him.
Demanding $5 billion for the wall in the December funding package and threatening to shutdown the government if he doesn't get it, then being forced to back down and accept the $1.6 billion he was offered in the first place to avoid a government shutdown .............is a failure to get what he demanded, not an example of an effective negotiating technique.
Promising that Mexico would pay for a great big wall all along the border, then being forced to back down and demand that American tax payers fund the wall...........is a failure to fulfill a promise to the people who voted for him largely because they strongly supported the Mexico-funded wall (while that's a minority of the voting population, it encompasses his core base).
Trump's had some successes and some failures, that's reality. People who always deny the failures (and/or false promises) and believe them to instead be successes or cases of Trump being victimized are gullible.
