I knew there was a reason Trump gave head to microphones on camera at his rallies

To bring in one-time voters who never pay attention and really don't give a sh--

but think a President fellating a microphone is cool

Voters should know what they are voting for

too late now

From Rolling Stone January 11, 2025

"A Team Trump source tells Rolling Stone the specifics of how it targeted those 6.3 million potential voters: People with cable or satellite TV got fewer streaming ads, and a third group — persuadable voters who subscribed to neither cable nor streaming services — were papered with text messages or mailers. In the final weeks of the election, that source says, Team Trump expanded its focus to include roughly 7.5 million more potential Trump voters — about 4 million low-propensity voters, as well as 3.5 million inactive voters — a good portion of whom they believe turned out for the 47th president."

"Trump was working his way through an entire ecosystem of mini Rogans, sitting down with people whom Democratic campaign consultants would have never allowed in the same room as their candidate. (One Harris source defended that thinking, saying, “The reason why we don’t just throw them on the phone with someone in between campaign events is because we want to make sure that we are carefully curating our message.”)

"Trump, meanwhile, showed up alongside streamer Adin Ross and on podcasts hosted by figures like Real World/Road Rules Challenge alum Theo Von; Mark Calaway (known as the Undertaker back in his WWE days); Canadian American YouTube pranksters (turned right-wing influencers) the Nelk Boys; AI researcher Lex Fridman; Flagrant (a spinoff of MTV2’s Guy Code); and Logan Paul. Together, those seven appearances accounted for nearly the same number of views that Rogan’s Trump interview brought in."
