Analyst highlights shift from truth to power as Trump, Musk, and Kennedy prepare for White House

A Washington Post analyst argues that Donald Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Elon Musk have shifted the narrative from "speaking truth to power" to "speaking power to truth." This change has allowed them to manipulate public perception about misinformation and censorship. Philip Bump highlights how Kennedy's claims about the coronavirus vaccine and Trump's approach to lying have resonated with their supporters. He notes that efforts to limit misinformation have been framed as attacks on free speech, particularly by far-right groups. As Trump, Musk, and Kennedy prepare to enter the White House, Bump warns that their influence may lead to a troubling era where truth is distorted for political gain.
