The Deep Denialism of Donald Trump

Michael Specter schreibt im New Yorker über The Deep Denialism of Donald Trump:

Donald Trump is hardly the first President to lie to the American people. Nor is he the first to place ideology before data. But this White House, unlike any other, has already crossed the threshold into a space where facts appear to mean nothing.

Eventually, the President’s daily policy outrages, his caustic insults, and his childish Twitter rants will fade into history. But it will take years to gauge the impact of having a habitual liar as President. When words like “science” and “progress” become unmoored from their meaning, the effects are incalculable. And let’s not kid ourselves: those words today are under assault with a ferocity we have not seen for hundreds of years.

Mit besten Grüßen an die liebe B., die in den US of A sitzt und an all diesem Irrsinn gerade verzweifelt.
