After killing Alex Pretti, the Trump regime’s propaganda is collapsing. They’re watching as the American people turn against them. People across the aisle know they’re being gaslit and are fed up. Now, Leavitt is backing off some as they try to course correct. But the damage is done—they’re exposed.
