Trump’s Love Your Country Message crushes Slotkin’s Dystopian Lie: Susan Kokinda exposes the Post-Midterm Playbook from Michigan to Poland.
Trump’s Love Your Country Crushes Slotkin’s Dystopian Lie – Monday Brief by Susan Kokinda
On the eve of the midterms, Susan Kokinda sets President Trump’s final message to Republicans, given to Benny Johnson (“be smart, be strong, love your country”), against Senator Elissa Slotkin’s September 30 speech at the Carnegie Endowment, where she called Trump’s America “the Titanic”, and her stage partner Anne Applebaum’s praise for the January 6 hearings as “constructed for television”. Slotkin’s undercover-video remarks of October 29 show what her post-midterm “signature cases” would be: the White House ballroom and the Reflecting Pool.
The episode then follows the playbook to Poland: Slotkin’s visit to Poland and Hungary and the “Iron Broom”, Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s move against the Constitutional Tribunal, President Karol Nawrocki’s return to Warsaw, U.S. Ambassador Tom Rose’s statement, and Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski’s defence of the government, with a look at Sikorski’s and Applebaum’s British ties and the Integrity Initiative, funded by the British Foreign Office.
It closes in Michigan, where Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens endorsed Republican Mike Rogers for the Senate, and sets Slotkin’s “corruption” narrative against the President’s moves on electricity for data centres, health care and drug prices, October’s new factories, and child and Hispanic poverty at record lows.
