Haake: Trump didn’t win; disinformation did
As I see it, Trump didn’t win this election. Disinformation did, demonstrating that the world’s richest men, by funding disinformation, will stop at nothing to end government regulations and taxes, or to defeat democracy itself.
Guest column: Forward-thinking for our first-generation students
