Chris Matthews, a former MSNBC host, criticized Donald Trump for using spectacle to govern, comparing his tactics to those of Mussolini. He observed that Trump leverages television as a tool to influence cabinet decisions and rally his MAGA supporters. The comment follows Trump's recent announcement on Truth Social about a cabinet meeting concerning Elon Musk's initiatives. Matthews pointed out that Trump publicly asserts control over his cabinet and spreads misinformation, notably claiming Social Security was mismanaged. This technique aligns with Trump's long history of using media to shape public perception.
If you noticed, he calls the TV cameras in for the cabinet meetings he's doing. He's redirecting his cabinet officials, redirecting Musk. I've watched this guy use television like nobody's ever done.
When he went up the other night on Tuesday night, talked to the American people and said, We're paying Social Security checks to people who are 160 years old. Anybody who reads an obit page knows that's not true.
