The Spin

Pro-Trump narrative

Being the president is a very dangerous job. Race drivers and bull riders are very dangerous professions and in those cases, nearly 10% of 1% die. In the case of presidents, it's about 5%. Unfortunately, that's something that comes with the territory of being a world leader.

New York Post The Washington Times

Pro-establishment narrative

U.S. officials are coming to a troubling realization: that Iran is not bluffing when it seeks revenge for the 2020 killing of General Soleimani. Trump and his administration's officials at the time of the strike are under a pervasive threat of assassination, and the lengths Iran is going to carry them out are far more extensive and troubling than being discussed in the public domain.

Establishment-critical narrative

What do you expect from Iran when one of its commanders and half his family were killed in an assassination? Besides, we still don't know whether or not Israel's Mossad is the one behind the threat against Barron Trump.
