'Power to truth': Analyst argues 'salesman' Trump taught allies how to peddle lies
Raw StoryIf former President Donald Trump mastered the "art of the deal," then the wealthy buddies about to enter the White House with him have mastered the art of speaking power to truth, a Washington Post analyst argues. "It has traditionally been the role of media to hold power to account by sharing truths that the powerful would prefer be kept hidden — speaking truth to power," Bump wrote. The Washington Post analyst argues Trump, Musk and Kennedy each won from the 2024 presidential election the power they sought by wrestling away from the American people a clear understanding of the truth. "If you listen to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. talk about the threat President Joe Biden poses to democracy, he will often point to the Biden administration’s efforts to censor him," Bump wrote.
