Outsider"  You present one of your "fall-back" positions.....asserting one can only know what he or she personally experiences or observes.  Were this the case, we'd have very limited knowledge or awareness.  You have internalized the Trump contention that "the media" is an evil manipulator and those of us who disagree with any position you hold are mindless dupes and blind sheep.  You present a terribly weak position...There is a reality...there are "real facts.  Only Donald Trump, Sean Spicer and Kellyann Conway reject that reality and present "alternative facts" with the contention that they are as "real" as the "true" (and demonstrated) facts.  my regards, Gary Crum
