What happened to Greg Bovino and why is it significant?
After the federal government executed Alex Preti, Donald Trump, CNN was reporting, sat and watched media coverage for hours. And he didn't like the way this was playing. And this is a really important thing. Donald Trump is super into optics. He doesn't care about the guy getting shot. He cares about how everything is presented on the television. That's the most important thing to him. And he could see that his eye squat, particularly Greg Bovino, looked like an asshole, looked like a sociopath. He could see that the journalists were having a very difficult time describing anything other than what we all saw, which is murder. So the Midas Touch is reporting the following. This broke yesterday. The Atlantic reports that Greg Bovino has been removed from his role as Border Patrol Commander-at-Large and will return to his former job in El Centro, California, where he is expected to retire soon.
The report also says DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and advisor, aka lover, Corey Lewandowski, are at risk of losing their jobs. so apparently there was a two-hour bender in the oval last night i read this morning and there's some reporting that stephen miller wasn't there but it was christy gnome and others talking about all of this eye stuff so apparently she's on thin ice and he doesn't like the optics of this Mind you, it's not that this is immoral. It's not that this is completely eroding the rule of law. It's the optics. And you might remember, I always remind everyone, during the January 6th insurrection, he watched it from the Oval Office dining room. And reports from insiders in that dining room said that Trump said, I wish my supporters didn't look so trashy.
When I hear that Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski are on thin ice, I'm like, no shit. She's gonna be the first to go. And I always think it's interesting that they put these reports together. Like they're connected at the hip when all she talks about is her godly marriage and her family values. But that's not the issue today. The issue today is I agree with you 1000%. Donald Trump could give two shits that somebody died, that people are being terrorized. he cares about his poll numbers we he says i'm so popular everybody loves me his poll numbers are in the toilet that we know that because he goes on social media and says how great they are and then i was watching some fox coverage even they are having a hard time
time spinning this and this is going to stick to him and he's worried about his legacy which is unbelievable to me as he destroys everything but this is going to follow him into retirement in my opinion and he wants to be the good guy the guy that everybody loves this is killing it
He just wants to flip the narrative. He understands television. He understands optics. He understands branding. Ruth Ben-Ghiat, historian, says he's one of the best propagandists she's ever seen. And people get mad at her for saying that. But he understands that this is playing negatively. So there isn't some moral decision here. This is merely optics. And this isn't a huge, he's staying up in the middle of the night worried about his legacy. Everything is just a tiny little blip in the radar for these people. This is turn the page. Nobody understands the news cycle like this man does. I mean, he was about to go to federal prison and was able to turn the news cycle. But here's back to Greg Bovino. He did the same crap in Chicago, and then they moved him.
And Representative Ramirez has the following analysis on this, and I think she's spot on. Just as he did in Chicago, Bovino is leaving Minneapolis to invade and terrorize another city standing against Trump. It is a sick playbook to try to avoid accountability, but no matter where DHS agents go, we will hold them accountable. And here's what we need to know. The person that murdered Renee Good, There's no investigation.
How does Donald Trump's focus on optics affect his administration?
Kristi Noem and the Trump administration lied and labeled her a terrorist. And the FBI wanted to investigate her. And many people resigned over this. Many people said, we're not doing this.
