NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Alyssa Farah Griffin praised the current media strategy of President Donald Trump on the Monday, February 17, episode of 'The View', as reported by Fox News.

The 35-year-old, who served as the White House director of strategic communication during Trump's first presidency, claimed that the 78-year-old commander-in-chief was staying ahead of both mainstream media as well as the Democrats by weaving himself into every story.



 

For instance, Trump became the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl Game on February 9. He also attended the NASCAR Daytona 500 race the following Sunday, February 16, and even took a lap on the track in the presidential car known as 'The Beast'.

Alyssa Farah Griffin's take on Donald Trump's media strategy

Alyssa Farah Griffin explained to her co-hosts on 'The View' how Donald Trump was dominating every possible popular narrative, saying, "One of the things he is excellent at, and the media takes the bait often, is he writes himself into every story. Like, just thinking about it, he didn’t just do the Super Bowl interview, he attended the Super Bowl."

Providing other examples, such as when Trump halted the TikTok ban after swearing into office, she continued, "He’s outpacing the traditional media, but also the opposition. I think Dems are kind of playing on a 1990s playbook of, like, if I go speak on the Senate floor, if I go on ‘Meet the Press,’ it’s going to stop him."

"They have got to get quick and smart if they're wanting to push back and how people are communicating now because he knows how to overwhelm the system," warned Griffin, adding that Trump and his team had been working on their agendas for years before winning the White House.

'The View' co-hosts call for coalition against Donald Trump

During the episode, co-host Ana Navarro stated that people who "are against everything that Donald Trump is doing," which include both Democrats and non-Democrats, needed to present a united front against the MAGA movement.

"We all need to come together and show them that we’re mad as hell, and we’re not going to take it anymore," she said, and was backed by Griffin, who insisted, "Democrats have to be willing to go to uncomfortable spaces."



 

"You have to have conversations with people who disagree with you if you want to build coalitions to push back because you’re going to find there are a lot of things Donald Trump does that I agree with, but then there are things that I think that are dangerous, reckless, and want to call out," she added. 

"You have to talk to be able to people who, it doesn’t have to be all this or all that, but find movement on the things that matter," Griffin stressed.

Internet says Alyssa Farah Griffin is 'spot on' about Donald Trump's media strategy

Netizens appeared to be in agreement with Alyssa Farah Griffin while reacting to her comments on X (formerly Twitter). 

One wrote, "She is spot on Trump's strategy has shaken up the politics game. The 90s playbook is dead because legacy media is dead," and another quipped, "Seeing the light, I see."

"FINALLY, THEY ARE WAKING UP. SOMEONE WITH SOME INTELLIGENCE," noted a person, while someone else added, "As long as the libs keep taking the exact opposite stance as Trump on everything, the more Trump will keep winning."

"I used to say this show was a free campaign ad for Democrats. Not anymore. The longer it stays on now, the better it will be for Republicans," wrote one more about 'The View'.
