White House communications director Steven Cheung did something you don’t see every day from a Trump official: He praised a liberal media outlet.
However, the reason why Cheung gave cheeky compliments to MS NOW (formerly MSNBC) was a lot more commonplace ― he was trolling, baby.
Cheung posted a segment from “Chris Jansing Reports” that discusses the Trump administration’s recent decision to promote its war with Iran using videos combining real-world destruction with violence from video games like Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas; films like “Tropic Thunder” and “Braveheart”; and footage of MLB players hitting home runs.
During Jansing’s segment, she played one clip that interspersed footage of Iran being attacked with footage of Nintendo Wii characters using tennis rackets, golf clubs and baseball bats to hit bullseyes.
Jansing noted that while the video she showed “got a lot of blowback from Democrats,” a new “Washington Post” poll suggested that opposition to the strikes “dropped in a week by 12%,” and wondered if the White House messaging is taking hold.
