The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

These protests represent the authentic voice of working-class America, which is under attack by the Trump administration. Rather than prioritizing basic needs, Trump and his lackeys prefer to dedicate resources to militarizing our cities and serving the interests of billionaires. By protesting, these workers are striving to build the country they deserve.

Pro-Trump narrative

President Trump has delivered unprecedented results for American workers since coming into office, with over half a million new jobs created, rising wages for blue-collar Americans, and comprehensive tax cuts that boost family income by over $10,000 annually. Riled up by agitators, these protesters ignore the prosperity enjoyed by workers under his leadership.
