Ein Journalist des Nation der 1992 ein Zeitalter des "post-truth" ausrief weil die amerikanische Öffentlichkeit Beweise zur Iran-Contra-Affäre einfach ignoriert.

Hier im übrigen das Zitat von Keyes über Trump aus seinem Buch von 2004. Das Kapitel heißt "Post-Truthfulness" und führt zahlreiche Beispiele von "post-truthful" Persönlichkeiten an, aus allen gesellschaftlichen Bereichen und nicht nur aus der Politik:

"When Trump: The Art of the Deal was published, Donald Trump claimed that 200,000 copies had been printed, that The Today Show planned to interview him five times, and that the issue of New York magazine with an excerpt of his book was its biggest seller ever. In fact, 150,000 copies of Trump were printed, Today interviewed him twice, and New York’s sales figures were not available at the time he made his claims. In his book, Trump called this kind of braggadocio “truthful hyperbole.” After The Apprentice became a hit, Trump claimed his television show was the season’s ratings leader (when it was actually #7) and said he was America’s highest-paid television personality. A Fortune reporter who debunked these claims, and many others, concluded that Trump’s boasts about himself were, at best, “loosely truth-based."
