If I was working in this administration, I would tell Trump that the worst thing he can do is play defense. The MSM fake news is smirking when hegseth says "did anyone write a story on how hard it is to fly for 36 hours?" It is so weak, when the MSM puts you on your back foot, playing defense. Trump was the strongest in 2017 because he NEVER played defense. For example, when the fake news would accuse him of something, Trump would ATTACK. That's how you do it. I have done my fair share of trolling the deep state over the last 7 years, and one thing about trolling is that when you get the enemy to respond defensively, that's considered a win that makes you smirk. The MSM is smirking when our side defensively insists that the mission was a success. Trump needs to attack when they suggest we didn't succeed in this latest mission. This press conference was demoralizing to our side. These fake news msm press core should have been kept out of these press conferences years ago, but they've had high paying jobs delivering fake news with ALL the access in the world while Patriots are kept out of the Press Conferences. Demoralizing.
