Don't Let Them Weasel Out of This One [View all]

Trump’s White House is in full-blown panic mode, flailing left and right with PR plays to ease the political and legal shitstorm they’ve walked themselves into after the chaos, the violence, and the death in Minneapolis these last few weeks.

To the average bystander—or to the media types who treat politics like sports, calling balls and strikes—it might look like Trump and his advisors are finally taking the death of Alex Pretti seriously. But we know better. This is just PR. Rearranging deck chairs on the goddamn Titanic.

They’re leaking against Kristi Noem, setting her up as the scapegoat. They’ve shoved Greg Bovino into early retirement. They’re whispering that Stephen Miller—Trump’s golden boy—is “losing influence” and “increasingly isolated” in the West Wing.

I don’t buy a single bit of it.
