   That one I am not sure if it made "the news" or not, but people are aware   
   of it.  One thing that did make the news is a story involving one of the   
   administration's financial advisors, Peter Navarro.  He became "an expert"   
   by writing books.  In those books, Peter is fond of using one "expert"   
   source in particular.   
      
   Turns out the source does not exist.  Their name is an anagram of Peter's.   
      
   So the administration is using the expert opinions of a non-existent,   
   made-up person because Trump's son-in-law found one of Navarro's books on   
   Amazon and recommended it to his father-in-law.
