From demanding indictments to demolishing the East Wing, Trump is a TV producer
The thing to understand about Donald Trump is that he thinks like a programmer That s hardly surprising given his Apprentice background But it also means he ll sometimes step on his own story STATE-OF-THE-ART WARSHIP STEAMING FOR VENEZUELA TO TURN THE TIDE IN TRUMP'S WAR ON DRUGSIf it s a Friday and he hasn t made big news for a couple of days I know he ll be feeding the press something that provides fodder for the weekend shows He knows how to fill that void especially with the Democrats essentially leaderless When the president was basking in world acclaim for brokering a seemingly impossible cease-fire between Israel and Hamas he d post something wild on Truth Social that would usher in another mini-news cycle Trust me having interviewed him multiple times he knows all about lighting and camera angles and has definite preferences such as using an overhead boom mike as opposed to the standard lapel mike He once complained to the crew that his skin looked too orange He continues to throw out the unproven claim that the electoral process was stolen rejected by his own Justice Department He won the electoral contest pretty easily and then came the campaign of retribution installing an inexperienced loyalist to do what no one else would bring criminal charges against James Comey and Letitia James And he attacks Joe Biden now battling cancer in almost every speech And he does this out in the open Here s a typical posting Documents show conclusively that Christopher Wray Deranged Jack Smith Merrick Garland Lisa Monaco and other crooked lowlifes from the failed Biden Administration signed off on Operation Arctic Frost They spied on Senators and Congressmen women and even taped their calls They cheated and rigged the Presidential Balloting These Radical Left Lunatics should be prosecuted for their illegal and highly unethical behavior TRUMP ANSWERS WHETHER HE WOULD RUN AS VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IN By the way I don t believe that Trump will seek a third term when he d be at the end of another term It s also flatly prohibited by the Constitution By refusing to rule it out he s basically trolling people What if he uses this or that maneuver as promoted by Steve Bannon Also no president wants to be seen as a premature lame duck Trump tells you exactly what he s going to do He revealed he would slash programs favored by the Democrats during the administration shutdown and he s doing just that This is either transparency to his supporters or authoritarianism to his detractors It s no coincidence that the administration disclosed that the SNAP project reaching million Americans on what is commonly called food stamps would no longer be funded as of this Saturday Trump is also easily triggered He broke off contract talks with Canada over an Ontario ad that he called fake AI an odd stance for a guy who pictured himself as a fighter pilot dropping poop on protestors Besides the ad accurately quoted Ronald Reagan s anti-tariff comments in a radio address though out of order When things calm down I m sure Trump will patch it up with what he still wants to make the st state STATE-OF-THE-ART WARSHIP STEAMING FOR VENEZUELA TO TURN THE TIDE IN TRUMP'S WAR ON DRUGSIn the past week Trump has done two things that have drawn opposition from a few of his traditional allies He demanded million from his own compliant Justice Department for his suffering through all the past investigations that led to four indictments against him Ben Shapiro the conservative author and podcaster revealed this was an egregious conflict of interest and Trump should drop the idea If you ve lost Ben Shapiro the Daily Wire founder that is a bellwether The second was the demolition of the East Wing The footage of the wreckage of that piece of history is constantly replayed on television Trump was being untruthful when he commented his plans for what s now with cost overruns a -million ballroom would not touch the East Wing which dates to Then he moved swiftly and stealthily to demolish the entire building The wreckage is the story You don t need a panel of lawyers to explain it Trump did exactly the opposite of what he promised It s still hard to look at The president s trip to Asia may provide fresh headlines as he meets with China s Xi Jinping If not he ll find other strategies to make news That s the thing about Trump He makes good use of the massive megaphone provided by the White House He programs every day flooding the zone with so plenty of story lines that it s hard for even journalists and politicos who track him for a living to keep up
