Former President Donald Trump has chosen to skip the Republican debate hosted by Fox News and instead sit down for an exclusive interview with Tucker Carlson on his own platform, “Tucker on X.” In a preview video released by Carlson, he praised Trump as the clear front-runner in the Republican race and revealed that Trump had reached out to them for the interview. It seems that Trump’s goal is to reach a larger audience beyond cable news, possibly due to perceptions of bias and a desire to control the narrative.
This move by Trump demonstrates his strategic approach to media engagement, bypassing traditional channels and opting for a platform where he can have more control. It’s a smart move on his part, as he can tap into a far larger audience and shape the narrative in his favor. It also shows that Trump values his Twitter presence and recognizes the power of social media in reaching his supporters.
