John Morgan, a former Democratic donor and the founder of Morgan & Morgan, recently highlighted the strategic acumen of Barron Trump on Fox News.
He credited Barron's advice for Donald Trump's presidential victory, criticizing Kamala Harris for not utilizing similar platforms effectively, Fox News reported.
On a Wednesday broadcast, Morgan discussed the pivotal role Barron Trump played in his father's campaign. He described Barron as looking like a runway model who suggested that Donald Trump should appear on popular podcasts such as "The Joe Rogan Experience" to broaden his appeal.
Donald Trump's appearance on "The Joe Rogan Experience" on October 25 became a major talking point. The episode amassed over 50 million views on YouTube, demonstrating its wide-reaching impact.
In contrast, Kamala Harris's engagements with podcasts did not achieve similar traction. Despite appearing on several shows, including "Call Her Daddy," her episodes fell significantly short in popularity, with one clip gathering less than a million views on YouTube.
Morgan was critical of the Harris campaign's media strategy.
He argued that Harris's team failed to leverage influential platforms like Rogan's podcast effectively. This, according to Morgan, contributed to her defeat in the electoral race.
He further commented on the internal dynamics of the Harris campaign, suggesting that progressive elements within her team hesitated to engage with more diverse media outlets, particularly those like Joe Rogan's, known for their broad and sometimes controversial audience.
Morgan also directed personal criticisms at Harris, unfavorably comparing her to former President Barack Obama. He accused Harris of attempting to emulate Obama's style and approach but falling short in authenticity and appeal.
"[Harris] thinks she's Obama. She goes to Hawaii since Obama goes to Hawaii. She started talking like Obama, imitating Obama. She is not Barack Obama. She has no talent. She can never run for president again," Morgan stated, expressing a harsh view of her political future.
"It turns out that Barron Trump, who looks like a runway model, was telling his father, ‘You need to go on podcasts, you need to go on Joe Rogan,'" Morgan remarked, highlighting the unexpected but strategic advice from the younger Trump.
He praised Barron's political savvy, saying, "Barron Trump is a lot smarter than everybody in the Harris [campaign]." This statement reflects a belief that the younger Trump's media recommendations were instrumental in shaping the successful elements of his father's campaign strategy.
Morgan's critique extended to Harris's overall political positioning, connected with her role as Vice President under Joe Biden. "She was going to be tethered to Biden no matter what," he explained, suggesting that her political fate was closely linked to the broader Democratic strategy and Biden's own legacy.
"They played hide the ball, they lost badly, she should go away and never, ever come back," Morgan concluded, indicating a strong opinion that Harris should not continue in high-level politics.
