Fact is, Trump & co live a lie

We are in the depths of the Post Truth Era.

Although he is not the only propagator of disinformation, US President Donald Trump is leading the charge into a new world order where facts no longer count.After the strike against Venezuela, Trump told the world: "We are now in control of that country."

Perhaps you'd like to tell the country’s new acting president, Delcy Rodriguez, that... because she clearly hasn't got the memo.

How are you going to control a country if you do not physically have a presence on the ground? You can’t continue to send stealth fighters and Delta Force in every night. Attacking is one thing; holding and occupying in the wake of that is another thing entirely.

Trump rarely lets facts gets in the way of his determination to be the Ruler of All Creation. He told Americans that tariffs on imported goods would save them money.

Yeah, right. He told them inflation was down. It’s up.
