Part 4/8:
The conversation quickly shifted to the media’s role in the political landscape. Trump’s supporters criticized mainstream media networks for perpetuating narratives that painted him as a villain, reinforcing the notion that the media itself contributes to the country’s divisiveness. They argue that depicting Trump as a figure akin to Adolf Hitler has damaged trust and unity among Americans.
This criticism aligns with sentiments expressed by Trump during the interview, as he dismissed attempts by journalists to challenge his statements. Comments from Trump’s backers highlighted how the media’s coping mechanisms to explain electoral outcomes resulted in an incessant blame game on his campaign instead of addressing broader issues affecting American society.
