“The best show in Washington this week, free to watch, was the White House’s briefing for ‘new media.’ On three separate days, Karoline Leavitt chased her ordinary press conference with one for conservative influencers and streamers. Some of the questions were about Ukraine negotiations, and family-friendly policies the president might support. Some other questions focused on vengeance. … Revenge has been the great deliverable of the president’s first 100 days in office. No modern president had worked so quickly to knock out the foundations from left-wing [sic] institutions, which the influencers appreciated. A year after he said he’d be ‘too busy for retribution,’ at a time when his campaign worried that voters didn’t want him to focus on retribution, he had done plenty.” (05/02/25)
