The Washington establishment is at it again, folks. According to a new report from the Washington Examiner, spineless Republican consultants are pushing President Trump's team to abandon the very media outlets that helped secure his historic comeback victory in 2024.

These so-called "strategists" want Trump to step away from the conservative media ecosystem that includes Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, and other America First voices who fought tooth and nail against the Biden regime's destruction of our country. Instead, they're urging the administration to cozy up to the same mainstream media outlets that spent four years calling Trump supporters "domestic terrorists."

What these swamp creatures don't understand is that Trump didn't win by playing nice with CNN and MSNBC. He won by speaking directly to the American people through platforms that actually tell the truth about the Deep State's war on our constitutional republic.

The Same Failed Playbook

This is the exact same advice that RINOs have been peddling for decades: "Move to the center! Don't be too conservative! The New York Times might say something nice about us!" How did that work out for McCain and Romney?

President Trump's massive mandate came from patriots who are fed up with the administrative state, the weaponized justice system, and the corporate media's lies. These are the Americans who want mass deportations, energy dominance, and an end to woke indoctrination in our schools and military.

"The people pushing this advice are the same ones who told us we'd lose in 2024," said one administration source familiar with the discussions.

While establishment consultants panic about 2026, Trump is delivering on every promise. The border wall is being completed, illegal immigrants are being deported, and Elon Musk's DOGE initiative is dismantling the bureaucratic monster that's been strangling American prosperity.

The real question isn't whether Trump should abandon conservative media—it's whether grassroots Americans will abandon any Republicans who fall for this establishment trap. We didn't elect Trump to make peace with the swamp. We elected him to drain it.

Who are these consultants? We need names! The MAGA movement didn't succeed by trying to appease the mainstream media.

This is infuriating but not surprising. The swamp always tries to neuter outsiders.

The liberal media will NEVER give Trump fair coverage no matter what he does. Why would any consultant think chasing their approval is a winning strategy?

Because they're probably getting paid by the same donors who fund RINOs. Follow the money.

Trump needs to fire these consultants immediately and get back to rallying the base. That's what wins elections!

This is EXACTLY what happened in 2018 when the establishment told Trump to go soft before the midterms. We lost the House because he listened to these swamp creatures instead of staying true to his base.

100% correct. The base is what got him elected in 2016, not some mythical moderate voters who watch CNN.

I've seen this playbook before - establishment Republicans always want to move left and abandon the voters who actually show up. It never works and we end up losing seats we should have kept.
