    For all you people who think the sky being blue is a fact I have news for you. It isn't!

    I have an alternative fact for you, its transparent. The sky can appear to be differnt colors depending on the position of the sun due to the bending of the suns light.

    Okay, so alternative facts is a bad choice of words. How about a different interpretation of the data? What about a different estimation of the numbers? Or maybe just a different perspective of our shared reality?

    If you want to keep saying you know its true as the sky is blue I am just going to assume you only look up when its a nice day and close your eyes at night.

    It is a 'bad choice of words' but it is also grounded in Trump's peculiar sense of reality. Trump does not mean a different interpretation of data. and he has never meant it. He just calls any data that is inconvenient to his vision, a set of suspicious lies, and creates his own with nothing more than his tongue and his larynx. In short he fakes his facts as his personal alternative and now he has a press secretary and cabinet to repeat them as often as it takes.

    Did you compare that image on the right to the gigapixel image on cnn? The image you posted has a little caption below it on the news sites that says it was taken before the speech.

    The gigapixel image below was taken during the speech and you can see trump. The image is amazing with how detailed it is. I would be curious what you think about the comparison.
