Who needs facts when we have social media?

Hello and here is the fake news. Well, some of it is fake, and some of it is not. You’ll just have to figure it out – using your emotions. Because that’s what we do now. Who needs facts and experts when we have feelings and social media? asks Suzanne Harrington

So here goes. Donald Trump’s former butler Anthony Senecal, the evil twin of Batman’s butler Alfred Pennyworth, was last year investigated by the US Secret Services for posting death threats about Obama. Senecal was Trump’s closest personal servant – squeezing the despotic toothpaste onto the tyrant toothbrush – until 2009. He thought Obama should have been electrocuted or hanged, and referred to the ex president as a ‘Kenyan fraud’ presiding in the ‘White Mosque’. Senecal, which sounds like a laxative for seniors, also said that Trump once claimed the tiles in the nursery at Mar a Lago, Trump’s Florida beach club, were personally made by Walt Disney. When Senecal disputed this, Trump replied, “Who cares?”

Actually, none of that is fake, apart from Senecal being related to Batman’s Alfred. Who cares? Not the American public, who voted for Trump. The £350 million a week that goes to the EU instead of the NHS in Britain – that was fake too. Who cares? Not half of the population who voted for Brexit. They are too busy hating foreigners they have never met.
