I remember that Malcolm X had a system for rating how much he thought he could trust others, from one to a hundred. Perhaps the combination of people not tusting the media, and this president rating "zero" on the trust scale, play a role in people doubting it was real.

And I agree 100% about joining the Preservationists' lawsuit.
