Merkel's memoirs: revelations about Trump and today's press!
Washington, USA - Donald Trump has fundamentally changed his press policy and no longer holds traditional press conferences. Instead, he gained control of his public appearance through a selective selection of questions. This happened after important information was often announced behind closed doors in the Oval Office or in the East Room of the White House, such as Dewezet.de reported. This change became particularly clear after the Ukrainian president had experienced humiliating treatment.
An example of Trump's unconventional manners shows in the first encounter with Angela Merkel during her inaugural visit during his tenure when he did not give her a handshake. Merz, the upcoming Berlin Chancellor, will have to master this challenge on Thursday in the Oval Office, whereby some of the German media will accompany him.
Merkel's insights into the Trump policy
Angela Merkel describes her experience with Trump in her memoirs, which will be released on November 26, 2024. This documentation, titled "Freedom", addresses, among other things, how Trump does not allow compromises and only knows winners and losers. Merkel, who was Chancellor from 2017 to 2021, illuminates the emotional and factual differences between her and Trump and warns other heads of government to adapt to his style. She particularly emphasizes a difficult press conference in 2017, in which Trump tried to make her a guilty conscience, which abruptly ended when she vigorously contradicted.The publication of their memoirs attracts international attention, since European heads of state had mostly become cautious in their criticism of Trump until then. The launch of the book takes place in the German Theater in Berlin and is moderated by Anne Will.
new press strategy in the White House
Recently, the new press spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt announced that the White House will increasingly rely on "new media" such as podcaster, bloggers and social networks. A chair in the press room is specially reserved for the representatives of this "new media", so that they can apply for accreditations, such as Tagesschau.de Trump sees this media a key resource to address younger voters, especially after he has conducted interviews with numerous podcasters during the election campaign.
Leavitt estimates that more than 7,000 journalists have already tried to accredit. Nevertheless, experts like Tom Jones from the Poynter media institute say that representatives with extreme political views may have access to access. At the same time, traditional media is warned by Leavitt's announcement that misleading reporting is immediately denounced.
