Trump Press Sec’s Weird Fawning Rant Goes Awry as Poll Slide Worsens
On Thursday, the White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt delivered one of her most obsequious and unpleasant tirades about President Trump. She has credited him with having resolved half a dozen major geopolitical conflicts around the world and said that it was high time that Trump obtains the Nobel Peace Prize. It is not an accident that it came in the midst of new evidence of survey that Trump’s coalition collapses in a freshly dangerous manner for him, as documents it in a large new room by New Republic Editor -in -chief Alex Shephard. In today’s episode, Shephard explains how the figures show that the key constituencies are moving away from Trump. We discuss in all the ways in which the northern style propaganda of Leavitt actually works against Trump by strengthening the Emperor-Has-Nonne atmosphere around him, why the press is reluctant to tell the truth about his unpopularity, to which Democrats must stop treating him as if he were invincible, and what it should look like. Listen to this episode here. A transcription is there.
