Why did millions embrace Donald Trump’s truth-bending style - and why did traditional fact-checking fail to matter? In this timely course, Sonya Thompson, MA, MALP, who brings over thirty years of teaching history and politics (much of it with WEA) and holds postgraduate degrees in history, law, and government, unpacks the shifting meaning of truth in modern politics.
