5 post-Trump rule changes
Ronald Klain at Politico writes about how five golden rules of politics have changed post-Trump. They are:
- Old Rule: Never explain
New Rule: Always arm allies with an explanation - Old Rule: Apologize and move on
New Rule: Never apologize and double down - Old Rule: Get your facts straight before you comment
New Rule: Go with your gut, quickly - Old Rule: Don’t feud with people who buy ink by the barrel
New Rule: You can score points by going to war with the media - Old Rule: Drive a consistent message, consistently
New Rule: Adapt constantly, disorient your opponents and the media
Not sure the new rules will work for everyone, but they certainly did for Trump.
