Yeah - in a way I agree- but it was Trump this time around that used the misinformation and disinformation to motivate his supporters. Not that different I suppose when you recall that it was Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Cheney who explicitly edited and manipulated the intel on Iraq to provide just the answers they wanted. I expect the results of the still unfolding new American melodrama will be even more calamitous than W's turn, but even though all we can do is wait and see, I hope I am wrong.
