You don’t need to trust facts.
That’s what makes them facts.
Additionally, facts don’t tell you anything about anything, outside the fact itself. The sun rose yesterday. It rose today. It doesn’t automatically follow the sun will rise again tomorrow. That’s speculation, based on interpretative pattern recognition. Or to put it another way: “That’s just, like, your opinion man.”
Whose facts do you trust the most then? After all - there aren’t that many of them for which a universal consensus among even credible scientists exists. Most facts aren’t the absolute truth anyway but rather just our best current understanding.
I don’t trust opinions, just facts.

You’re absolutely right, but as long as there are people who DON’T trust facts, it’s probably still worth mentioning now and then.
But have you considered these alternative “facts”?
There are no alternative facts. Only additional facts.
Alternatively there are lies.
That’s not really how facts or opinions work. I hate anti answers, why even participate in the thread?
How do you decide what is a fact and what isn’t?

I trust truth over facts
Facts, by definition, are true
And what separates truth from fact in your mind?
