Trump et le dédain hitlérien de la vérité

L'auteur de cet article du Washington Post reconnaît que l'évocation du régime hitlérien est risquée, mais les parallèles qu'il fait ressortir sont malgré tout intéressant.

 "Trump’s fixation on Obama’s birthplace is similar. It was not, as far as he’s concerned, a lie. It was a strongly felt truth that he abandoned only last week and then only under intense pressure — not out of conviction. To Trump, the lie was not what he had been saying about Obama’s birthplace; it was the one he had told when he finally was compelled to say that Obama was born in the U.S.A. The reason he did not apologize for having so long insisted otherwise is that an apology would have crossed his personal red line. Like a child, he had his fingers crossed."
