president trump: being wrong may get you votes; but, it doesn't make you right

to trump the truth is whatever trump wants it to be.

take the rise in oceans and global warming, for example. 
it's a fact that oceans have been rising: 
"With continued ocean and atmospheric warming, sea levels will likely rise for many centuries at rates higher than that of the current century. In the United States, almost 40 percent of the population lives in relatively high-population-density coastal areas, where sea level plays a role in flooding, shoreline erosion, and hazards from storms."

"...humans have increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by more than a third since the industrial revolution. Changes this large have historically taken thousands of years, but are now happening over the course of decades."

facts are facts.


another example is russia. trump refuses to acknowledge that US intelligence, congress and most of the American people believe that russia interfered with the 2016 election. 

"Opinion polls show that non-stop state propaganda has convinced the Russian people that Russia is indeed a besieged fortress, the armed forces are to be trusted, more resources must be devoted to defense (at the expense of living standards), and that young Russians should not avoid military service. The percentage of respondents with “bad/very bad” opinions of the US rose from 34 percent to 60 percent between 2012 to present. The EU fared even worse with negative opinion rising from 21 to 60 percent. All pretense of democratic elections was dispelled with the managed parliamentary elections of 2016."

trump not believing what the majority of americans believe doesn't make trump right. it just makes trump different.
