In His Second Term, Trump Fuels a ‘Machinery’ of Misinformation; The New York Times, March 24, 2025

  Steven Lee Myers and , The New York Times; In His Second Term, Trump Fuels a ‘Machinery’ of Misinformation

"This time, Mr. Trump is joined by a coterie of cabinet officials and advisers who have amplified them and even spread their own. Together, they are effectively institutionalizing disinformation.

While it is still early in his term, and many of his executive orders face legal challenges that could blunt the impact of any falsehoods driving them, Mr. Trump and his advisers have ushered the country into a new era of post-truth politics, where facts are contested and fictions used to pursue policy goals."
