'Trump teaches a master class on media relations nearly every time he
gets in front of a camera. I know, many who hate Trump will argue to
the contrary, but they are only fooling themselves.
The Presidential debate was a perfect example of this, while the
punditry and media all declared Harris the winner, what topics are still
being discussed today, 2 weeks later? Certainly one of the largest
shifts in national media and attention has to have been toward
Springfield, OH, or the larger issue of immigration and the failed
policies of the current administration. Before the September 10th
debate, you werent going to find a single story, in the national media,
other than perhaps on some right wing bloggers about what has been going
on in Springfield, OH. Yet here we are 2 weeks later and the main
stream media has published more articles regarding Springfield, OH and
the Haitian Immigration issues there than they have in the previous year
or two.
For those who have lived in a cave for the last 2 weeks, during the
debate, Trump mentioned the immigration crisis effect on this small
town. The exact quote was as follows:
Our country is being lost. We're a failing nation. And it happened
three and a half years ago. And what, what's going on here, you're going
to end up in World War 3, just to go into another subject. What they
have done to our country by allowing these millions and millions of
people to come into our country. And look at what's happening to the
towns all over the United States. And a lot of towns don't want to talk
-- not going to be Aurora or Springfield. A lot of towns don't want to
talk about it because they're so embarrassed by it. In Springfield,
they're eating the dogs. The people that came in. They're eating the
cats. They're eating -- they're eating the pets of the people that live
there. And this is what's happening in our country. And it's a shame. As
far as rallies are concerned, as far -- the reason they go is they like
what I say. They want to bring our country back. They want to make
America great again. It's a very simple phrase. Make America great
again. She's destroying this country. And if she becomes president, this
country doesn't have a chance of success. Not only success. We'll end up
being Venezuela on steroids.
The main stream media went of course into an immediate frenzy trying to
claim Trump was a lunatic, and attempted to mock Trump for the claims
about eating dogs and cats. Now, you dont have to look far on the
internet to find people indeed eating these animals in the US. While no
videos have been published to my knowledge from Springfield, OH, there
are indeed many to be found published of such acts. Focusing on this
fact they of course ignore the larger issue of what actually has been
going on in Springfield, OH and other small towns across this country.
Springfield now is a city of 60,000 people, 20,000 of them are estimated
to be Haitian immigrants brought here by the current administrations
policies. The city is literally in a dire place, with its population
ballooning 50% in a few years. Services are being overwhelmed, and the
city is being radically altered overnight. To put this into
perspective, imagine NYC suddenly had 4 Million Haitian immigrants move
in in about 24 months. Thats would be the equivalent of what has
happened in Springfield, OH. Funny we have article after article about
how NYC, a city of over 8 Million, is having its resources stretched
because 175000 immigrants have been bussed there in the last few years.
The Media has done its best to provide its spin on the matter, claiming
the immigrants are a godsend to the city, while of course long time
residence tend to provide a much different viewpoint. The obligatory
stories regarding Trumps comments making things worse for the
immigrants there have run rampant in the press over the last 2 weeks,
with few or any offering or even addressing the suffering and grievances
of the lifelong residents there who are dealing with this deluge. Hell
if you read some of these articles you would think Springfield Oh is a
damn utopia now that 50% of its population was born in the poorest
country in the western hemisphere and descended on this little town. Of
course Springfield OH is not the only town this is happening to, its
quietly happening to small towns all over this country, and the media is
happy to ignore it.
The failure regarding immigration policy of this administration is not a
topic Harris or the Democrats want to talk about, the topic only helps
Trump. Yet here we are two weeks later, and a topic that Harris loses
on every single time is a topic still daily in the press.
No one I have ever seen in Politics is as masterful at working the
media, and after nearly 8 years, the media appears to be no wiser today
than it was 8 years ago. Trump still plays them like cheap fiddles
routinely, and honestly, I think that most of them truly have no idea
they are being played.
Honestly, Trump knows how to use the medias general hatred of him, to
his advantage, and he is just masterful at it. Again and again, the raw
and unabashed hatred of Trump by the media causes them to react without
thought, they just hate Trump so without any real self awareness or
introspection, they just knee jerk react to him and things he does and
says, and because Trump understands they will do this, he can manipulate
them to do his bidding. The media in generally will happily do the
DNCs bidding, because they largely are the same team.. If Harris or the
DNC want a particular spin to be offered on anything or a topic to be
pushed, they simply tell/ask the media and they are more than happy to
comply. Just go watch any coverage of the DNC Convention, and you will
see the people covering the event repeating the same talking points
regardless of the network
. No, not the attendees, or the democrat
pundits, I mean the reporters, go listen to any of them, regardless of
network affiliation and you will seem them all saying the same things..
why do they all sound alike? Well simple, they were handed talking
points from the Democrat National Committee media relations folks and
told to go out and repeat them, so they happily did.
You wont get that treatment as a Republican, if you want them to cover
anything or change the topic, they arent going to nicely do it because
you ask them do, you have to make them, and generally against their
will. Trump has discovered he can turn them on a dime to focus on
whatever he wants
He doesnt do it by going hat it hand to try to
convince them to please look at this from another perspective, or this
other topic you have been ignoring. He does it masterfully, he throws
it bluntly in their face, and they find some outrageous minutia to feign
outrage about that he says, and spend the next week or two pretty much
talking about the very topic Trump wants to have out there
Sure usually
they are offering it from the alternate perspective, like this
Springfield OH situation. The media is tying itself in knots trying to
spin a city being overrun by immigrants as somehow a great thing and
they run with these Stories non stop.. but they dont control the
narrative anymore
once the topic is in the national consciousness
people will go out and find information beyond the media. They will see
the videos on social media of real residents on the city speaking out,
the footage of city council meetings, they will be exposed to the other
side the media doesnt want seen. No, not all, some will just take what
the media tells them as fact, but many others will look and see other
things that the media doesnt want seen. People that never ever would
have even looked for such information, had Trump not played the media to
go to the topic in the first place.
Trump offers a master class on media relations every single time, and
the media just cant seem to learn, their visceral reaction betrays them
every single time, and they never ever seem to learn from it'
