Donald Trump’s General Election message

What is Trump's message to non-Republicans for this election?

Are there any videos where he delivers this kind of message?

How is he going to get past the media blockade?

Please keep in mind that Trump needs people who have never heard of Truth Social in order to win. They might not care too much about the 2020 election, but also think J6 was just another riot. There's a lot of people who are not very political and do not follow the news

Bonus point - how does Trump persuade the non-political section of America that his prosecutions are pure trash?

This is not an anti-Trump thread. It is about winning, and nothing else. Our nominee must win - so he must know how to win over enough people.

    All good questions, I think.

    Conjecture is nice, but it is a fact of the tactical realities that we will not know what Trump's view of his general election message is until the general election. Every position is connected to a message crafted to elements of the voter population, messages crafted to a broader audience are, by definition, going to be different from and likely less attractive to the base or the broader party coalition. This message has been presented on behalf of Captain Obvious and his dedicated team of pedagogical wags.

    Trump should call anyone who disagrees with him "deplorable lying dog-faced pony soldiers who cling to their guns and religion".

    That seems to be a winning message. It's worked before.

    If I were Trump, I would take this issue and light it up throughout the campaign. I wish he would.

    But I also know he can't be the one to do it because it's too personal for him. Human beings can very rarely stand up for themselves successfully in such situations. The fight-or-flight biochemistry makes it nearly impossible.

    But Trump should have the Republican Party running too. He shouldn't be running by himself.

    It's the party that needs to address this issue plainly and clearly. They need to spell out the risk these political prosecutions and persecutions pose to ordinary Americans. "If they can get the president of the United States as easily as that, think how easy it is to get you and your neighbors."
