This latest stunt is just "a regression to the norm for Trump after years of having to pretend he wanted to be presidential," Hayes Brown writes.
When former President Donald Trump teased a "major announcement" on his Truth Social platform Wednesday, the theories flew thick and fast. Would it be a major hire for his 2024 campaign? An unprecedented run for Speaker of the House, challenging Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.? Instead, on Thursday Trump gave us the "official Donald Trump Digital Trading Card collection." The news disappointed his supporters, but it "was much, much more in line with the Trump we would have recognized in 2015, before his improbable campaign changed American politics," writes Hayes Brown. These cards, "in all their shoddy glory, represent Trump as he would have been had he never won the White House in 2016." After all, Brown notes, "it was reported years ago that Trump's 2016 run was potentially a branding exercise that went horribly right." This latest stunt is just "a regression to the norm for Trump after years of having to pretend he wanted to be presidential." Read Hayes Brown's full analysis in your Friday MSNBC Daily. |
