Kellyanne Conway has alternate facts. She swore by them through her phoney smile. I thought Chuck Todd on Meet the Press would have a stroke. There are facts and lies, not alternative facts.
Shawn Spicer, spokesman for Trump, has been declaring alternate attendance figures at both the inauguration and the Women's March.
Alternate facts plus dismissal of the media as conveyors of truth might enhance Trump's view of himself, but both - plain and simple - mislead the population, especially the people who don't make a career of following every word and action of the President.
Alternate facts and disparagement of the media are the nourishment for totalitarian regimes.
