He may be faking the emotion but he believes what he says.

What he says is nothing but emotion. There’s no actual substance to the words, they’re simply noises that communicate emotions. Much as in that John Oliver interview, what characterises the cult is how completely and passionately they believe. They believe Obama is a tyrannical Muslim. They believe the Communists and the Muslims are banding together and conquering the country even now. They believe the liberals hate them and want to kill their children. They are consumed with fear, and they truly, deeply, believe.

So he can’t be faking the emotion, but believe what he says. It must be one or the other.
