Do you mean, it’s odd that Pres. Trump would agree to being interviewed by a reporter from Politico?
Yes and no. Yes, it’s unexpected since Politico is basically anti-conservative and pro liberal causes,
But NO, not odd, because Trump wishes to occasionally reach out from our closed group of already convinced conservatives. Biden never did that. Remember Biden’s
“Red Speech” of Sept. 2022, when he angrily whispered that all MAGA where a danger to the nation?
President Trump hopes to invite those outside the tent to consider our side, just allow yourselves a moment to consider that on many issues, the majority of Libs and Conservatives want the same thing. The fringe groups will broadcast our differences. I think it’s smart to remind Libs that Trump is the President for all Americans, not just those who voted for him.
Oks I must say I agree with all of that. I do not believe, however, that we should continue having the likes of CNN and PBS etc officiating televised debates.
Me too. And Trump has a group into the Oval Office almost every day to ask questions. Most are quite hostile to Trump and conservatives.
“invite those outside the tent to consider”
Well said. In many cases each American is a complexity of ideas and emotions, not always consistent. That includes both Trump supporters, non-Trumpers on the right and those in the middle and those on the left.
The only way to win is to build a coalition, which means refrain from preaching to the choir and convincing others to join the coalition on ... ate least... the issues of common agreement. That is the way Tulsi and RFK and many Democrats came to the coalition.
