Trump’s Outdated WH Media Operation Has to Go
By J. Robert Smith


Radio radio talk show titan Michael Savage frets that perceptions are damaging the president. The left is capitalizing. Trump should step back. He should “let all the president’s men stand up there and take the heat,” said Savage.

Trouble is the president’s men -- and ladies -- are overmatched. Or they’re hamstrung. The White House’s media operation reeks of Old Washington. It’s strategically stale and predictable – except for the president. And the tactics are just about what you’d expect from W’s White House.

The president deserves a communications strategy and execution as groundbreaking and bold as himself. Thematically, the president needs to move from a Washington to an “America” communications strategy and operation. The differences aren’t subtle; they’re downright huge.

Yep, tweeting makes for mistakes, no doubt. But tens of millions of Red State patriots -- and Red Staters at heart -- get that. For the president, tweeting makes for raw, direct communications with millions of Deplorables across the Republic. Its underground communications gone powerfully virtual -- and viral. In a nation still dominated by MSM propaganda organs, social media -- along with the blogosphere and talk radio -- is a critical weapon in the fight to take back America. Trump backing off would gravely damage the cause.

Said Savage, per INFOWARS:

    “Number one, stop the impulsive tweeting. It’s unnecessary, it doesn’t help. You can make mistakes when you tweet,” Savage said, pointing to tweets about the firing of FBI Director James Comey Tuesday as an example.

Seriously, though, these press briefings, what do they provide? The media gets to make some poor sap press secretary look like a fool, and gets soundbites to fuel the 24-hour news cycle. The whole process plays right into their hands, and if they're going to be as adversarial toward the President as they are, why feed it directly?

The best way to antagonize these types is to simply not hold press briefings at all.

See?   There are some things upon which we can agree.     ^-^

Pass that buck.

There is a whiff of Rove about the whole thing.  And, Trump's personality may be magnifying the problem.  He needs to use tweeting carefully and judiciously.  It's a great tool and I think he should continue to use it, but the off-the-cuff, it's-all-about-me tweets aren't helping.

I agree.

But, we're talking about a salesman from Queens.   A REALLY successful one!

I agree that the daily press briefings are useless. The press only asks questions that fit their narrative, don't accept simple answers as legitimate, and only publish the gotcha moments. Get rid of them.

Tweets aren't the answer either, though. Tweets are idiotic.

The WH should release a daily briefing sheet and can produce well-thought out and thoroughly vetted YouTube videos to deliver their message.

The press has freedom to do their job. The WH isn't obligated to play their game, though.
