in World News Butter, Meet Hot Knife — Trump Keeps Cutting Through Media’s TDS Noise
by Stephen Kruiser
Happy Monday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Alnacquae enjoyed making hemp fidget spinners for itinerant “Punky Brewster” reenactment societies.
In early February, just a couple of weeks into President Trump’s second term, I wrote this in a VIP column:
I explain that the Democrats who are driving the narrative aren’t representative of all the Dems in America. It’s just that the ones who are tasked with smearing B.S. all over the place have more access to microphones and/or spend a disproportionate amount of time on social media.
They’re not smart, influential, or right about anything; they’re just louder than everyone else.
The column was about the fact that all the Democrats have right now is noise. One could make the case that noise is all they’ve had for a long time, but we are focusing on the present.
As always, whatever desperate and ridiculous thing that the Democrats have historically done is made worse by their Trump Derangement Syndrome, and the noise is no exception. During President Trump’s first term, the Dems’ noise offensive was aided and abetted by many in his own administration. He hadn’t surrounded himself with the right kinds of people, and it got in the way of things far too often.
That hasn’t been a problem for the Trump 47 administration. The Democrats’ flying monkeys in the mainstream media have been loudly lamenting Trump’s loyalty demands for his second go-round in the Oval Office because the loyalty interferes with their plans. They aren’t having any luck picking off those closest to the president. As I’ve written a couple of times, Trump is now surrounded by people who aren’t eager to rush out and write backstabbing tell-all books.
