Kevin Hassett: "The data can't be propaganda. The data has to be something you can trust, because decision-makers throughout the economy trust that these are the data that they can build a factory because they believe, or cut interest rates because they believe. And if the data aren't that good, then it's a real problem for the US."
Putting Trump aside, and merely looking at the actions being taken, it gets extremely hard for anyone to deny the harm to trust in public institutions America will fall when we become so divided that we cannot agree or trusts facts together as a nation.
