Trump's blitzkrieg media network wants to dominate news. Like when his rallies became a phenomenon. His admin is full of media-savvy extremists, conspiracy nuts and $ corrupt interests.

Trump is a mad king 👑, a petty tyrant who gets attention by lobbing random incendiary threats against perceived foes: individuals, countries, our own cities...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

good message but a drop in the river...
Have you developed any strategy (hint: networks and coalitions to amplify your voices) to reach beyond the base and engaged? Educate with passion.
Dems are comms luddites.
Make people skeptical of the Trumpian propaganda machine, even a few %, and you win.

Gallup announces, after 88 years, it will no longer track public approval of presidents. Trump's second-term approval rating fell to 36% in December, among the lowest ever recorded by the company. The president repeatedly has threatened to sue media and polling firms that portray him negatively.
