This meme states:
“How sad it must be
– believing that scientists,
scholars, historians,
economists, and journalists
have devoted their entire
lives to deceiving you, while
a reality tv star with decades
of fraud and exhaustively
documented lying is your only
beacon of truth and honesty”

This argument is called Straw Man Fallacy which is attacking and distorting version of that person himself. While at the same time totally ignoring and distracting audience from actual point of the discussion.
First part of the meme states that Scientists don’t lie.
This is totally ignoring the fact that private companies are subverting science to their own whims by paying off scientists.
That could never happen in America, could it?:
