{{Quote|“People of every age seem to be in a sort of post-truth scenario here, where I get to pick my own facts. There are a lot of facts out of there, I get to pick the ones that I like, and I can go with those, and nobody can really tell me that those aren’t the facts because it’s my truth. Those are my facts, and don’t tell me they’re not.” | {{Quote|“People of every age seem to be in a sort of post-truth scenario here, where I get to pick my own facts.
