One of the sharpest observations from the British side came from Simon Marks, LBC’s Washington correspondent, who said this cabinet meeting was dominated by “paid propagandists” from friendly publications and streaming channels, and not by trained reporters doing adversarial work. That description was devastating because it was so clean. This was not a president under pressure from a hostile press corps. It was the safest possible environment, a curated aquarium of obedient microphones, and he still came off as vindictive, erratic, and “all over the map.”
