"Trump Says He Favors Unproven Drug Combination Over Ventilators"

This is in reference to the headline on 4/6/2020: "Trump Says He Favors Unproven Drug Combination Over Ventilators"

It's all coming together.  Remember Kellyanne Conway's comment that the White House has "alternative facts," Rudy Giuliani's "Truth isn't truth" statement, Peter Navarro's interview on 4/6 where he states that when you get advice from a doctor, it's good to get a second opinion, and because he's a doctor (a Ph.D. in Economics), he is the authoritative second opinion to Dr. Fauci's medical recommendations?

It appears that in the Trump milieu, there is a conflation of knowledge and opinion. It's not confusion, a mistake or a prank, rather, it's a sinister mindset of "It's my opinion, therefore I know."  It is the mental process of equating the two.  This explains why Trump is constantly saying "I know more about this than anybody."  In his mind, because he has an opinion -- and he has an opinion on everything -- he therefore also knows everything. His opinion constitutes knowledge in and of itself.  Facts don't matter; research findings don't matter; expertise doesn't matter, data patterns don't matter.  He has an opinion, therefore he knows and is the authority on the subject.  His opinion takes precedence over knowledge, his gut instinct over expertise.

Prove me wrong.
