"'Alternative Facts': The Needless Lies of the Trump Administration" Response

'Alternative facts' is fairly reminiscent of the Newspeak language in Orwell's 1984. Newspeak was designed to diminish the range of thought. Trump's administration is trying, but failing, to lie about their actions in order to control the American people. Rather than gaining our trust, the Trump administration is turning the American people against them.

Trump supporters ignored Trump's lies during the election telling those opposed to Trump that any slander against Trump was false. Yet Trump's actions are causing Trump supporters to open their eyes. The 'opinions' of Millennials are now becoming truths that Trump supporters cannot ignore. Unlike 1984, Trump isn't able to censor all media and we are able to gain access to the truth (although it can be quite subjective).
