When you first heard the news, you spit your espresso all over your telephone and/or questioned whether or not you were still in the right frame of mind. ” Wait, what? Alex Jones will visit the White House, right? !

Next day, it received a lot of attention when it was the most popular account on the Drudge Report. ( Drudge might be a faded, past-its-prime, Bidenesque website, but it still influences mainstream traffic. ) When Drudge expanded the information, it went viral as did the teeth grinding. If you listened closely ( possibly with the power of Alex Jones’s tremendous array of cutting-edge, nitric-boosting health products ), you could almost hear the collective gasps of the radical left: Not Alex Jones! Anyone but Alex Jones!  ,
And to be good, they had a place. The guy’s no simply devoid of baggage.
From the write-up,” Alex Jones: ‘ I’ve Been Invited to the White House!'” ( which was long on conjecture and short on facts ):
It’s unclear who invited]Alex ] Jones, whether he’s actually going, or whether he will appear at a press briefing.
Following earlier remarks from Donald Trump Jr., who previously suggested that Jones might serve a brief time as press secretary in his father’s possible case, debate the Infowars founder may quickly join the Trump lecture room.
” Alex Jones … Again, there’s a few people I want to put in as press secretary for like a fortnight, two months to a month. Laura Loomer may fill that role for sure. Suddenly, Alex Jones for a month, just to set these stupid in their place”, Don Jr. said on his , Triggered , radio in Dec. 2023.
But it’s all a moot point. Because if you really clicked the Drudge Report website, you’d see that the source who was making this groundbreaking media was…
…Infowars.

It’s easy ( and, frankly, rather lazy ) to dismiss Alex Jones as an over-the-top caricature. Like all of us, he’s a three-dimensional people staying with tremendous strengths and weaknesses. And he has actually broken some significant records, including being one of the first to sound the alarm on Epstein Island. But he’s also a plagiarist who’s gotten plenty of large stories brilliantly, hideously wrong.
His present to get press secretary would’ve been exciting, though:

However, Alex Jones serves a useful teaching on, perhaps, the biggest Marketing drawback facing the incoming Trump management: The risk of ridiculousness.
All people have objectives. The American public is no exception. Trump is currently the subject of more kindness and PR longitude than he has ever had during any stage of his political career, partially due to the fact that Democrats are known as the” Boy Who Cried Wolf.”
For almost a century, Donald Trump was “literally Hitler”. He was a Nazi, a totalitarian, a narcissist, a warmonger, a criminal, and a Soviet advantage. They kept telling this story over and over again.
However, the American people saw a pro-business soldier who wanted to put the region first, charmed Joe Rogan, did a amusing party, fooled around at McDonald’s, and also rode about in a garbage truck. Their realization:” Positive doesn’t seem like Hitler to us”.
The risk, however, is when lawmakers overestimate the amount of their mission. It almost always happens, regardless of party associations: Overcome with stupidity, the White House pulls and pulls in one direction, but finally, the pushback is enormous.

” Pride goeth before the fall”.
They pushed too far in the wrong way.
As long as Trump continues his shock-and-awe professional plan, forming a human storm of strategic action, the British people will give him all the longitude he needs to succeed. His enthusiasm and interest contrast beautifully with Joe Biden’s aging body.
Trump is outwork, outhustle, and outproduce any anger.
However, the risk of awfulness increases when Trump removes his foot from the pedal.
Right now, the Democrats are playing the waiting activity: The subsequent poll is far apart, Trump is on a hot streak, they’re uncertain what to do next. So, they wait. And eventually, when Trump makes a mistake, they’ll pounce.
In 2017, the Democrats came after Trump right out of the gate, swinging murderous haymakers. This time around, they’ve lost faith in their offense. All they can do is counterpunch.
However, counterpunching fails to work without an opening.
Sure, I’ll admit it: Be a funny photo-op to see Alex Jones in the White House. I’m at a loss for words when I want to spike the football and make liberal heads scream. It’d be a helluva visual.  ,
But it’s just not worth the risk.
