"Trump tried to silence the media (unsuccessfully), but managed to get a lot of people to believe only what he says."

A guest essay in today's NYT by Nina Burleigh on the Ivanka's relationship with the family brings up the Trump family's efforts to exploit public gullibility using that tactic..

It recalls a quote from the book Ivanka wrote, a thing she learned from FatDon:

“Perception is more important than reality. If someone perceives something to be true, it is more important than if it is in fact true.”
