Where do we start? It’s an essential question. Unpacking the Trump political saga ultimately means unpacking the Trump business saga, which takes us back to well before the dirty tricks of the 2016 election. Following the story also requires a new understanding of American media—how and why it packages information and news the way it does—and how our post-postmodern (“metamodern”) age requires new journalistic skills and dedicated curatorial journalists to properly navigate the surfeit of excellent investigative journalism across the digital landscape. We also discuss the dirty tricks that gave Trump the win in the 2016 election, and how these tricks unleashed the force now known as QAnon onto the internet and into our culture.
