President Donald J. Trump's appearance at this year's Super Bowl marked a significant moment, as it was the first time a sitting president attended the event. His presence was characterized by a grandiose display reminiscent of imperial authority, complete with military honors during the national anthem. Trump's media strategy emphasizes an almost reality-TV approach to governance, with a focus on immigration enforcement and executive actions depicted as dramatic events. This trend of using spectacle and imagery to reinforce his power was evident in public appearances throughout his presidency, shaping his public persona and authority.
His immigration-enforcement raids are being packaged like mini reality-TV shows complete with perp walks and even guest stars to flood viewers with images of relentless action.
The manner of the signing said just as much about Mr. Trump's vision of leadership as the text of the orders did: the sole decider lifting his pen and ruling by decree.
