Trump and His Allies Adapt to a New Role: Fighting for Attention
The New York Times | Yahoo ^ | July 25, 2024 | By Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan

Posted on 07/25/2024 5:48:00 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

For the first time since Donald Trump was indicted in the spring of 2023, he has lost his grip on the news cycle and — temporarily at least — his message. Instead of commanding morning-to-night media attention, the former president and his allies suddenly find themselves reacting to their opponents.

It’s an unfamiliar experience for Trump, who has monopolized America’s televisions, newspapers and smartphones for more than 12 months through indictments, primary victories, 34 felony convictions, an assassination attempt and a Republican National Convention at which he was celebrated as a quasi-religious figure.

In the three days since President Joe Biden announced he was quitting the 2024 race, Trump has entered foreign territory. He has been largely crowded out from “earned media,” or organic news coverage that spreads rapidly among voters and costs campaigns nothing to produce. And his message has been, for the moment, scrambled as Democrats have replaced an old, frail white man with a younger Black woman who is campaigning energetically and giving new life to the Democratic base.

Vice President Kamala Harris, whom Biden endorsed Sunday and around whom Democrats rapidly coalesced, has enjoyed a political hot streak that Biden’s advisers could have only dreamed of during the 2024 campaign.

They write a news story about Trump not being in the news. He lives rent free in their heads.

They are getting attention today via Jennifer Aniston about JDs gross comment about childless women.

How about being politically astute and recognize that many women in American go through ivf, have to adopt, etc.

Show some empathy instead of acting like an arrogant jerk.

Harris will be made into everything the left wants her to be, ignoring all that she is. Couple that with cheating, and illegals voting and I am very concerned.

Better to let Kamala sink herself before the convention anyways. Why waste the time/money on someone who may not even be the candidate. The more people see of Kamala the less they will like her

Understand what this is.

This is not reporting.

This is instruction.

He doesn’t need the media he’s received 3 plus million views on breaking 50 on YouTube.

Logan Paul 4.69 million subscribers

Wait until Rogan interviews him

My man nearly takes a bullet to the head and is still out there campaigning. The hyena does nothing but has a slight tan and a VAGINA.

Just wait until she announces Pete as her VP, to cover ALL the woke vote

Then it it becomes the Harri/Butt ticket!

He is fighting for attention? THEY wrote this, not him. The media needs him and they know it. She is not energetic and she is not black. The media is working overtime to make her a star. Maybe with the help of all of Hollywood carrying her they will succeed, maybe not, but everything about her is phony because she IS a phony.

Ironic, considering that the msm is treating the assassination attempt as though it never happened.

The media is desperate to find criticisms of Trump. Remember when they argued he was cognitively unfit for office because of the way he picked up a glass of water? But Biden was just fine? The debate revealed nothing most Americans didn’t already know; it just became too obvious to continue to lie about. Even for the media.
