🧵Observing the Trump 47 media strategy: Transforming communication with the American people.

It’s a different ballgame this time around.

THREAD:

1⃣ THE WH BRIEFING ROOM: Press Sec Karoline Leavitt announces that Americans’ trust in legacy media is at an all time low, welcomes new media access into the WH briefing room, promises to address questions from outlets across the ideological spectrum.

Massive shakeup that signals to Americans from the press room podium how legacy media has been thoroughly discredited — while simultaneously promising balanced coverage and maximum transparency.

2⃣ DoD PRESS ACCESS: SecDef Pete Hegseth oversees long overdue changes to press access at the Pentagon:

NBC, NYT, NPR, and Politico will “rotate out of the building” to give space to New York Post, Breitbart, OAN, and HuffPost.

The move is intended to “broaden access” — a diplomatic way of saying that legacy media propaganda is being demoted to the minor leagues, while providing a broader range of reporting perspectives. HUGE shift.

🚨After actively engaging in a coverup of Biden’s cognitive state — the brave, intrepid journalists at NYT are out with a tell-all piece on the coverup — blaming Biden’s inner circle, and taking zero responsibility themselves.

Everything they lied about for years, they now admit is true — Biden’s “walkers” to hide his shuffle, the short stairs to AF1, his frequent falls, cognitive lapses, telepromper woes, needing naps for debate prep — everything.

Legacy media is attempting to rewrite history and play the hapless victim of a White House inner circle that managed to dupe them for four years, in a vain attempt to salvage their tattered reputations and cratered credibility.

This is the latest installment of that strategy.

This strategy was previewed by this CBS reporter in late December. At the time, I noted:

"Expect much more of this moving forward, as the Propaganda Press tries in vain to salvage their destroyed credibility."

Donald Trump has pulled off the biggest political comeback in American history.

That years-long journey was unlike anything the country has ever seen.

Here are 15 PIVOTAL MOMENTS that help propel Trump to a landslide victory.

THREAD 🧵

1⃣ @elonmusk purchases Twitter.

It’s nearly impossible to state the earth-shattering ramifications that resulted from one man’s drive to preserve and defend free speech.

Without this, the information environment for the 2024 election is vastly different, as the Twitter 1.0 censorship regime would have remained firmly in place — ready to rerun Hunter Laptop-type election interference.

Simply put: It changed the course of history.

2⃣ Trump’s mugshot released.

To millions, the iconic photo became a symbolic representation of the entirety of corrupt, coordinated, politicized lawfare levied against Donald Trump.

That Fulton County case — along with the charges brought by the DOJ — have since disintegrated.

Please enjoy Rachel Maddow solemnly warning the country about the dire ramifications of this moment in American history.

NEW: CBS “Non-Partisan Election Expert” David Becker: @elonmusk and @realDonaldTrump are spreading "Election Disinformation"

State-run media goes into full election-influencing operative mode here — attacking their political adversaries under the guise of presenting “non-partisan” election information.

BECKER: “We're seeing more election disinformation for sure. It's coming from, Donald Trump. It's coming from Elon Musk. It's coming from we know, foreign adversaries like Russia and Iran and North Korea and China."

“So when you see information on social media in particular, that triggers something within you that seems to make you angry about the other side. All of us as sophisticated media consumers, should pause and and say, what is? Maybe that anger is the product they're trying to create. Maybe they're getting paid or they're benefiting from creating that anger in us."

Becker is a leftwing operative posing as a non-partisan election expert — and is regularly platformed by many state-media outlets to attack their political opponents.

Becker is the Exec Dir and Fndr of the Center for Election Innovation & Research, former People for the American Way activist, Cal Berkeley alum, and author of the book “The Big Truth: Upholding Democracy in the Age of The Big Lie."

“Non-partisan."

Per Influence Watch, In 2020, Becker’s CEIR org received a whopping $69.M from Zuckerberg for “voter protection efforts."

This is who legacy media wants you to believe is a non-partisan source of election information.

MI Sec of State Jocelyn Benson:

- Refuses to remove RFK Jr from the ballot
- Tried to remove Cornel West from the ballot
- Opened an investigation into Musk-backed, pro-Trump PAC
- Awarded The Presidential Citizens Medal by Biden for “protecting the integrity of elections” in 2023

Benson is a partisan hack doing everything in her power to tilt the scales in favor of her party candidate in Michigan.

Benson tried to remove West from the ballot beacuse that would be a negative for Kamala — but judge ruled West to stay on.

Benson opened an investigation into an @elonmusk backed, pro-Trump PAC three weeks ago.

House GOP Host Forum on Trump's Attempted Assassination with @Heritage: Clips Thread 🧵

1) Rep. Eli Crane to @dbongino: “In your opinion, is the Secret Service in a better spot today with Director Rowe in charge?"

Bongino: "No. It's worse….You think this is the last incident? You're out of your mind."

2) Rep. Eli Crane to @realErikDPrince: In your professional opinion, is the Secret Service in its current form and leadership able to stop a threat like that?

Prince: "President Trump was definitely deprived of resources that day for whatever the political reason. They had one third the amount of agents covering him as were covering Jill Biden in the same region at an indoor event. She had 12 post holders covering her. Again, no statutory or constitutional authority for the first lady. Donald J. Trump had four Secret Service agents assigned."
