Trump's Cultural Revolution: the dismantling of truth

Why is a Texas politician camped out in an undisclosed location, hiding from the FBI, and fearing that democracy is on the line? Jolanda Jones tells us about the extraordinary standoff taking place in her state.

A common theme is emerging - the President rewriting history like an authoritarian bored and irritated by fact. He’s been firing officials and replacing them with others who’ll massage the numbers in his favouring. He’s been threatening institutions and pressuring them to stump up cash. Is anyone confused by what the goal is here? Is Trump having to resort to make believe in his attempt to Make America Great Again?
