I honestly don’t know. I kind of think most politicians kind of see reality as 100% plastic. Trump is the extreme end of this to the point that whatever shit falls out of his mouth he immediately believes. Most just learn to believe whatever they need to on any given day.
I always wonder if ghouls like Blinken are dumb enough genuinely believe this, or they just think everyone else is an idiot.

If they did, they’d be rubes, not ghouls. They know it’s bullshit, but they have fully-vested interests in that bullshit, so they follow that line.
I lean towards that as well, one would have to be incredibly dumb not to realize that this is utter bullshit.
