Considering this is from 'The Economist', a right wing publication,

this is kind of amazing, and very enlightening, as to who The Donald appeals to. In a nutshell, those who don't mind being lied to, just as I've been saying here, forever, The FOXSheep and the Literal Bible believers. Prime fodder for those who 'just don't care' about facts.

Post-truth politicsArt of the lie

Politicians have always lied. Does it matter if they leave the truth behind entirely?

CONSIDER how far Donald Trump is estranged from fact. He inhabits a fantastical realm where Barack Obama’s birth certificate was faked, the president founded Islamic State (IS), the Clintons are killers and the father of a rival was with Lee Harvey Oswald before he shot John F. Kennedy.
Lord of the lies
That politicians sometimes peddle lies is not news: think of Ronald Reagan’s fib that his administration had not traded weapons with Iran in order to secure the release of hostages and to fund the efforts of rebels in Nicaragua. But Mr. Trump has taken it to a new level.      http://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21706525-politicians-have-always-lied-does-it-matter-if-they-leave-truth-behind-entirely-art?fsrc=gnews
