Think about tomorrow
I think I have noticed it before, but I would like to take a moment to give my hat of the current Trump government because he is constantly using the media – socially and traditionally – to the American people. Instead of leaving Trump as the main spokesman and leaving it to the Legacy media, reporting what he says and does (HA!), This administration carefully carries out an uninterrupted positive messaging attack over several telegaic and articulated substitutes. The entire cabinet regularly makes the rounds and is clearly observable on X. Do you actually share tweets and videos of you do Things that make sense. In my opinion, this is a clever and effective strategy. It lets the Democrats and their aged media stems play, defense and look quite silly.
