Abstract
In this short piece, the author provides some background on critical thinking and reading in the unprecedented times of the Donald J. Trump administration where truth is gleaned only through careful consideration of multiple perspectives and sources. Readers will learn more about the French esprit critique as a means to teaching critical inquiry, particularly in the postsecondary classroom.
