The Importance of Understanding Trump's Media Strategy

Understanding Donald Trump's relationship with the media is crucial, especially in the context of his potential plans for a second presidential term. Preparations for an interview sought to explore his intentions toward journalists and the press, particularly since his past rhetoric has been aggressive and often damaging. Insights were drawn from his extensive history of comments about the media, including a significant number of tweets and public statements that reveal his evolving perspective. Considering how he has previously expressed desires to dismantle civil institutions and retaliate against perceived enemies, it is essential to investigate how these attitudes might translate into policy and action regarding the press.
