How Trump's Lying Is Making The Whole World Stupid

from Mallen Baker: Faultlines · host Mallen Baker

Yes, yes, we all know Trump lies - so what? Well, the point is that since the US is now bullying the entire world on trade, as well as using its leverage over various countries in other ways - this has changed the entire dynamic. World leaders are starting to repeat Trump's lies back to him. They are starting to attest in public that his (highly unlikely) telling of major events is in fact accurate. In other words, his fantasy reality is starting to seriously infect what leading players tell us about the world, and hence how we understand it. Let's discuss.
