The messaging wasn't the only failure, the optics were bad too. [1]

Just something I mention because I haven’t seen it pointed out yet. Not only was tRump’s attempt to embarrass the Fed chair a total backfire in messaging, but the carefully staged moment looked as bad as it sounded.

One thing that stood out to me was that this “inspection” was supposedly staged in an active construction zone, and the cosplay even included the hardhats. Except Scott didn’t get one. When will the media latch onto the lack of care displayed for the safety of the one black guy in the room?

One other thing didn’t work here, it didn’t distract from

EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN!!!
