Dissociation of truth from politics

  • Alienation of honesty in political life
  • Post-truth politics

Incidence

In his first 827 days in office, President Trump has made more than 10,000 false and misleading statements, without any toll on his popularity among his supporters.

Claim

Truth always rests with the minority because the minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion, while the strength of a majority is illusory, formed by the gangs who have no opinion (Søren Kierkegaard).
