Lew unloads on terrible communications that reflect severe policy mistakes now coming out of the Trump White House’s political operation. This group is headed by Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and her aide James Blair, political consultant Chris LaCiVita, and pollster Tony Fabriezio. He specifically references Blair’s recent White House memo to quit talking about mass deportations, efforts to put Bobby Kennedy and MAHA “in a box” based on Fabriezio’s polling, the disastrous Trump Truth Social post supporting genital mutilation of children “with parental consent,” and the earlier reversal about the importance of the Epstein files.
Last week he examined the terrible messaging reflecting likely policy confusion about our new war with Iran. This week Lew also highlights the rumored intention of Trump to endorse LaCivita’s RINO candidate John Cornyn in Texas and his obsessive war against Ron Paul favorite Thomas Massie in Kentucky.
It is critical for Trump to have the GOP win the congressional elections in November, an off-year, “base election.” Polls show MAHA and mass deportations are more popular than ever, and that the youth in particular are still very concerned about any cover-up related to Jeffrey Epstein. But the Trump political operation appears to primarily concerned with the agendas of corporate America and Israel, and a midterm electoral disaster is looming as a result.
