It is not only Trump. So it is maybe wrong to post this here, but it of course fits.
From the Manager magazine, which is pro right-wing usually, certainly with business interests in focus (translation by Google):

"Unfortunately, bulls...t has a huge advantage over the truth: it is often the better story.

The bulls...tter regularly wins in the tough competition for attention, especially when it comes to complex issues that most citizens cannot judge for themselves.

This explains the rise of populists in many countries: the bulls...tter have a competitive advantage over their serious competition. Their stories are easy to understand and sometimes even entertaining. Look at Farage. As long as populist bulls...tters are in the opposition, their content-related emptiness may not be particularly noticeable.
Even in the government, they may be able to wash their way through in relatively quiet times. Look at Johnson.

But times are far from calm. The corona crisis will overshadow everything that the western world has experienced in peacetime."
