Strategizing the Political Narrative

Trump's administration actively shapes political messaging to maintain control over the narrative surrounding contentious issues, particularly immigration. By focusing on deporting criminals rather than broader immigration topics, Trump narrows the opposition's arguments, making it difficult for critics to resonate with the public, who largely support swift action against gang members. This technique is seen as a way to reinforce Trump’s image as a decisive leader who can navigate through bureaucratic obstacles. Experts highlight that by keeping attorneys from dominating the conversation, Trump's team effectively emphasizes his perception as a strong executive, circumventing the checks that the judiciary may pose.
