She called what he said, "Alternate Facts"
We are truly in a world of trouble with this bunch. I'm torn between hoping for two years of disaster followed by voting the whole gang out of office in the House, and hoping that too much damage is not done. The latter could result in having to watch this lunatic and his bootlickers for a whole four years.
Trump's a pathological narcissist who lives for constant adoration, so his unpopularity is driving him bonkers, that's what's driving all this.
Yep. To a great extent, Hillary's opposition and conservative media came to associate her with the e-mails to the extent that she had trouble projecting other issues. The press and people got conditioned to snap back into the one thing. I suspect it is already too late for Trump. For a large part of the population, whenever he says anything, people will assume he is lying and start conjecturing on what the truth really is.
Unfortunately, a large portion of the population of all ideological stripes has been conditioned to assume the mainstream media are a bunch of liars and are out to protect "The Man". And this isn't new, either. Jesse Ventura was going off about the "media jackals" being out to get him because he wasn't from one of the major parties when he was governor here. Trump is taking advantage of this populist hated of the mainstream media and it is dangerous as hell. The Nazis called journalists attacking them the "lying press", the new Far Right is calling anyone who opposes them "fake news".
