Soltis Anderson on Spygate: Trump Knows Controlling the Language Is the Most Powerful Thing He Can Do

RUSH EXCERPT:

ANDERSON: "This president understands that controlling the language that is used to discuss an issue is perhaps the most powerful thing that he can do. There are an awful lot of Americans who are going to spend Memorial Day weekend watching the Indie 500, going to barbeques, not digging deep into what’s going on with the Russia investigation. And what he knows is that from the campaign, you know, he could say build the wall, make America great again and these little phrases are the things that would stick. And for an electorate that — that pays attention from time to time but has very busy lives, having those phrases stick in people’s minds is a very powerful tool. And what’s fascinating about this president is he doesn’t even pretend like that’s not what he’s trying to do. He has said on record I’m trying to control the language, I’m trying to discredit the media so that my — my position looks more credible. These are games that are sometimes played in Washington where Donald Trump is taking it to a next level and is saying I’m just going to confess that I’m playing the game."
