It was Kelly Conway who first foisted the term "alternative facts" upon the public. Trump has beat the drum of "fake news" for years by now.

His attempt to overturn the Mueller Report, his attempt to re-image himself as the victim of a Deep State is simply the lie repeated often enough to entrance, and grow a belief that it is the truth. It isn't. He's conning you. Wake up.
Haven't you ever known anyone to tell an elaborate lie before? That's what they are doing. Trump. Giuliani. Barr. Pompeo. Crafting a lie that, if you embrace it, it's your eyes, if you like having the wool pulled over them, there ya go.
