The White House communication’s strategy could be much better.

1. Have a website or Twitter account which lists every example of fake news from the start of the administration to the present. Continue to update and post bias studies and examples of bias. Don’t permit the left to say Trump calls the media fake because he just doesn’t like criticism.

2. No one sold this tax plan to the public. I saw a video where this tax plan was explained to Bernie supporters as Bernie’s plan. They liked it. When they found out it was Trump’s plan, they were shocked. One guy asked why they aren’t promoting it. Who knows? Trump is great at communication, so he should have done a swing state tour promoting this program and taken it to all sorts of places. I would have suggested they have a video out explaining it in detail but making it understandable and also put out short videos highlighting different aspects of the plan. These should be Tweeted out and sent out by Trump and all GOP members of Congress & Senate. I’d have clips of people who support and will be helped by the bill talking about how it will help them and the difference it will make. Each member of the House and Senate could locate some constituents in their districts/states and make a video showing them talking. I’d have the RNC or conservative groups running some tv ads promoting the bill.

The GOP sucks at Communication. They don’t have the press - have to work 10 times harder.

None of that problem is attributable to the press??

Trump cuts through where he can, on twitter, youtube, and facebook. The tax plan was all over twitter. They did what you said, no question about it. The message was/is there but the press practically never picks it up.

That's what Trump is up against. They absolutely refuse to cover anything positive.

“No one sold this tax plan to the public”

I would add that the RINOs do not have the courage to withstand withering public fire.

Trump worked with them behind the scenes and focused the press, Democrats and deep state on himself. This allowed the fearful republicans to put together a deal behind the scenes.

Pretty much the way someone would draw a charging bull to himself to protect kids.

We can always find a way in retrospect (seemingly) to improve what already happened. ... but that may not have worked to make a deal.

On this issue, I will assume Trump knew what it would take to get a deal done and he accomplished it.

The public is smart enough to see it was not Armeggedon, no one died, etc. next they will see more money. Then a better economy.

That is great PR.

Trump isn’t perfect, but he is better than the other 16 candidates in the primary, better than any demoncrat and better than every POTUS since Reagan.
