Peter Baker: Trump Seems More Intent Than Ever To Impose Alternative Facts on the Government Itself

EXCERPT:

BAKER: “Look, if it was just about this one statistics official, it may not be that big a deal, but the problem is that it's not just about this one situation. It's about a whole pattern of information that we have seen in the six months since the president took office again. And yes, in the past, of course, he has always dealt in what one of his aides, of course, famously called alternative facts, but this time around, this term, he seems more intent than ever on imposing these alternative facts or an alternative version of reality on the government itself, right? Whether it be vaccines, whether it be weather patterns, whether it be all kinds of different data or information that the government makes available.”
