Fake Tears: Flip a coin, if heads your opponent can't play any Trainer cards from his or her hand during your opponent’s next turn, and any damage done to Bonsly by attacks is reduced by 20 during your opponent's next turn.

Does this mean that if Bonsly flips heads that the opposing player cannot any pre-D/P trainers whatsoever (including supporters and stadiums), but could play D/P supporters and stadiums on the next turn? Or does Bonsly, because he is a D/P series Pokemon, not consider even EX-series supporters and stadiums to be trainers and Fake Tears would only block rare candies, plus power, etc.?

The new division in trainers, supporters and stadiums must be a judges nightmare.
 
Bonsly is a DP Pokemon and so "sees" the difference between Pre- and Post- DP Trainers. False Tears does not block Stadiums or Supporters even if they have a Pre-DP "Trainer" written on them.
 
How extremely convenient and not confusing at all.
Seriously, the attack should've said:
If the opponent doesn't understand what this attack means, the Defending Pokémon is now Confused.
