What if there are no facts, only opinions?
Trump's mental aberrations have been discussed in great detail on DU and elsewhere. We know he lacks empathy, moral values, or a conscience. He is a narcissistic sociopath. Many of us would simply say that Trump is evil. All of this is old news.
One of Trump's deficiencies is the curious notion that facts don't exist, or rather, that they are merely opinions in disguise. I have not seen much discussion here or elsewhere of the various predictable ways that this notion distorts Trump's thinking, so I offer my own views, as follows:
If there are no facts, then there is no distinction between an expert witness and any other witness. Nor does science exist. The claim that scientific evidence is more reliable than arbitrary opinion is not to be taken seriously. Those who call themselves scientists are merely a special interest group seeking support they don't deserve. Furthermore, most of them are professors in universities. Since universities are overwhelmingly liberal, they are the enemy. Universities should be destroyed. The most efficient way to destroy them is to cut off their funding. That is one of Trump's near-term goals.
There is historical precedent for the destruction of universities by a Fascist government. This occurred in Germany in the 1930s. The consequences of this destruction included emigration of many of the best and brightest scholars, including scientists who made decisive contributions to the Allied war effort, which led to the Allied victory over Nazi Germany in May, 1945.
