When the most powerful person in the world (Trump) says: "Dont believe your eyes, or the experts, or the numbers, just believe me", that rips a big hole in a free democratic society. To abandon facts is to abandon freedom. if nothing is true, then no one can criticize power, because there is no basis up which to do so. if nothing is true, then all is spectacle.
attempting to define reality is core feature of authoritarianism, my friends
for Trump, as is with so much he does, it's about simple dominance, and getting re-elected
