Abstract
This short chapter provides an account of “post-truth” by reference to the Oxford Dictionaries “Word of the Year” for 2016 and a description of politics in our time. It notes the close affiliation with the concept “Alt-right”, a synonym for the emergence of the Far-Right in American and European politics. The chapter focuses on Donald Trump, and the “big lies” he told as one of his main media techniques in his campaign to become the US President. The chapter investigates whether the new social media undermines our ability to recognize truth.
