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.
