Donald Trump has been a large figure in American politics for more than a decade. Erick Erickson says many news media voices will need an adjustment period when Trump is no longer the top story every day.
In recent weeks, President Trump has shared his opinions on a variety of media members, including Jessica Tarlov, Tucker Carlson, Mark Levin, Megyn Kelly, and Alex Jones, among others. Some he has praised, while others he has lambasted for not supporting him in recent decisions.
In a post on social media, Erick Erickson argued that many media figures have branded themselves as Trump loyalists. And he believes that will necessitate major changes when Trump’s term ends.
“I just gotta say that I would be far wealthier had I done the MAGA impersonation so many others have done, but holy hell am I glad I don’t have to beclown myself daily to prove my loyalty to keep the gravy train going,” said Erickson.
“At some point, Trump goes, and all these people are going to have to reinvent themselves yet again to hitch their carts to a new gravy train,” Erickson continued. “I’m embarrassed for them in handling the Jesus tweet, etc. I’m sure they sleep well on their cash, but you can only suppress your sense of shame for so long.”
