Disinformation isn't new. But in the last decade, the growth of social media has made it easier than ever to spread. That coincided with the political rise of Donald Trump, who rose to power on a wave of disinformation and exited the White House in similar fashion.

Other reporting on disinformation in this episode comes from NPR correspondents Joel Rose and Sarah McCammon.
