Part 3/8:
There appears to be a disconnect between media narratives and the experiences of Trump supporters. Critics of Trump see a poorly performing presidency, while his base relishes the chaos that accompanies his style, asserting that it is part of what they voted for. The mainstream media’s reporting has been called into question, characterized by suggested collusions to discredit Trump’s success in a coordinated manner. Commentators have noted that the timing of negative polling releases seems strategic, coinciding with significant moments such as the 100-day mark of Trump's presidency.
