Alex Marlow: Ayanna Pressley Gets Trolled by Trump

On Friday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” the host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief, Alex Marlow, shed light on the division among Democrats regarding the government shutdown. During the show, Marlow played a video of Representative Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) reacting negatively to President Trump’s praise of Senate Minority Leader, Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY).

The video, which has since gone viral, shows Pressley visibly upset and seemingly unable to contain her disgust at President Trump’s comments. However, Marlow believes that Pressley’s reaction was exactly what Trump wanted.

In his opinion, the president was trolling the Democrats and specifically targeting Pressley and her fellow progressives. Trump’s praise for Schumer, a longtime Democrat and one of the key players in the ongoing government shutdown, was likely meant to stir up even more division within the party.

Marlow goes on to explain that this division among Democrats is becoming more and more apparent. With the party shifting towards a more progressive ideology, there seems to be a rift between the old guard and the new blood. This was evident in the recent appointment of Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House, with many new progressive congresswomen, including Pressley, openly voicing their discontent.

But Marlow also believes that this division is a result of the Democrats’ weak leadership. He argues that while Trump has maintained a strong grip on the Republican party, the Democrats are struggling to find a leader who can unify their diverse base. This, he says, has led to a lack of direction and a confused message, which ultimately benefits Trump.

Despite Schumer being a target of the government shutdown, Trump’s praise for him seems to have thrown the Democrats off balance. According to Marlow, this is another tactical move by the president. Instead of attacking Schumer directly, Trump has shifted his attention to Pressley, who is relatively new to the political scene and could be seen as an easy target.

But Pressley is not alone in her frustration towards Trump. Marlow notes that many Democrats have been pushed to their limit by the president’s tactics and they are reacting in ways that the American public is beginning to see as unreasonable. This, in turn, could damage the party’s image and hurt their chances in future elections.

In the end, Marlow argues that the Democrats need to regroup and find a way to unite if they want to effectively oppose Trump. The ongoing government shutdown is just one example of how the party’s division is hurting their ability to make tangible progress. If they continue to let Trump dictate the narrative and drive a wedge between them, it will only be a matter of time before their house of cards comes tumbling down.

In conclusion, while Pressley’s reaction to Trump’s praise of Schumer may have seemed genuine to some, Marlow believes it was simply a case of the president trolling the Democrats. He urges the party to come together and find a strong leader who can unify their base and effectively counter Trump’s tactics. Only then can they hope to make a meaningful impact and fulfill their role as the opposition party.
