Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson, and… Liz Truss? A look at the former prime minister’s bid for MAGA approval.

This CSS code defines a custom font family called “Guardian Headline Full” with multiple font weights and styles. It includes light, regular, medium, and semibold weights, each with normal and italic versions. The font files are provided in WOFF2, WOFF, and TrueType formats, hosted on the Guardian’s servers.@font-face {

}The font “Guardian Headline Full” is available in several styles and weights. The regular italic style uses font-weight 400 and includes files in woff2, woff, and ttf formats. The medium style (font-weight 500, normal) and medium italic (font-weight 500, italic) are also provided. Similarly, semibold (font-weight 600, normal) and semibold italic (font-weight 600, italic) are available. Bold (font-weight 700, normal) and bold italic (font-weight 700, italic) styles are included. Lastly, black (font-weight 900, normal) and black italic (font-weight 900, italic) complete the set. All font files are hosted at the specified URLs.The provided text appears to be a mix of CSS font definitions and responsive grid layout rules for a website, likely The Guardian. Here is a fluent, natural English rewrite that simplifies the technical phrasing while preserving the meaning:

The code defines custom fonts for the website, including “Guardian Headline” in black italic and “Guardian Titlepiece” in bold. It then sets up a flexible grid layout for article content. This layout changes based on screen size.

On small screens, the content is stacked in a single column. As the screen gets wider, the layout adjusts. On medium screens, the main content area gains some padding. On larger screens, the layout splits into two columns: a main content area and a right sidebar. On the largest screens, it adds a narrow left margin and a vertical border, creating a more complex multi-column structure with specific areas for the title, headline, images, and body text. Captions for immersive images are also styled to have padding and a maximum width on medium screens and above.For interactive grid figures with immersive captions, the caption padding is set to 4 pixels at the top and 0 elsewhere. In various content areas, elements like lines and meta are positioned within a grid area spanning from row 2, column 1 to row 5, column 2. The lines element has a height set to its maximum content and a top margin of 5 pixels, while the meta element has a top margin of 18 pixels.

On larger screens, the interactive grid uses a specific column layout: 219 pixels, 1 pixel, 620 pixels, 80 pixels, and 300 pixels.

For iOS and Android devices, article headers use specific fonts and styling. The standfirst text uses the Guardian Headline font with medium weight. Section kickers are displayed as blocks, with their first letter capitalized. A keyline element has a top padding of 12 pixels. Author bylines use the Guardian Headline font with bold weight, including links. Images within articles have their height set to auto, and paragraphs following atomic elements have no top margin.

A custom font, Guardian Headline Full, is loaded in three formats (woff2, woff, ttf) with a light weight of 300 and normal style. An italic version of the same font is also available with the same weight.The provided text appears to be a series of CSS font-face rules for a font family named “Guardian Headline Full.” These rules define different font weights and styles (like regular, italic, medium, bold, etc.) and specify the web addresses (URLs) where the actual font files can be found in various formats (WOFF2, WOFF, TTF).@font-face {

#article-body > div .element-atom:first-of-type + p:first-of-type,
#article-body > div .element-atom:first-of-type {The first paragraph after certain elements like an atom, sign-in gate, or horizontal rule gets a top padding of 14 pixels.

For the first letter of that first paragraph, the styling changes to use a specific headline font with a bold weight, a size of 111 pixels, and a line height of 92 pixels. It floats to the left, is set to uppercase, and uses a designated color variable. It also has an 8-pixel margin on the right and aligns to the top of the text.

If a paragraph comes directly after a horizontal rule, its top padding is removed.

Elements with the attribute `data-gu-name=”pullquote”` are given a maximum width of 620 pixels.

For showcase elements within the main content, feature articles, standard articles, or comment sections, the figure caption is positioned statically, spans the full width, and is also limited to 620 pixels.

Immersive elements are set to the full viewport width minus the scrollbar. On screens smaller than 71.24 ems, these immersive elements are constrained to a maximum width of 978 pixels, and their captions receive internal padding.@media (max-width: 71.24em) and (min-width: 30em) {

}The grid layout uses five equal-width columns for the title, headline, and standfirst sections, followed by eight equal-width columns for the portrait section. The rows are defined with specific starting and ending points for each section.

For the meta and standfirst sections, certain elements have a fixed width or positioning. Labels within the title area have a small top padding.

The main headline uses a semi-bold font with a maximum width and specific font size, which adjusts on larger screens. Some decorative lines are hidden on wider screens and use a custom border color.

Social and comment elements in the meta section share the same border color, and certain components are hidden. The standfirst section has adjusted margins and padding, with its text styled in a regular weight and specific size.

The main media area is positioned within the grid, with full-width containers and adjusted margins on smaller screens. Captions are absolutely positioned at the bottom with a custom background and text color, and some caption elements are hidden or conditionally displayed.

A caption toggle button is positioned at the bottom right with a circular design. On very large screens, the main content column has adjusted spacing.The main column for interactive content has a maximum width of 620 pixels for h2 headings. For iOS and Android devices, the dark background color is set to #1a1a1a, with a feature color of #c70000 and a dark mode feature color of #ff5943. The new pillar color uses the primary pillar variable, defaulting to the feature color.

In dark mode, the new pillar color switches to the dark mode pillar variable, defaulting to the dark mode feature color.

On iOS and Android, the first letter of the first paragraph following specific elements in article containers is styled with the secondary pillar color, defaulting to black. The article header height is set to zero, and the furniture wrapper has padding of 4 pixels at the top, 10 pixels on the sides, and no padding at the bottom.

Within the furniture wrapper, content labels use a bold, specific font family, adopt the new pillar color, and are capitalized. Headlines are set to 32 pixels, bold, with 12 pixels of padding at the bottom, and a text color of #121212.For iOS and Android devices, the image elements within furniture wrappers across feature, standard, and comment article containers are styled with a relative position, a top margin of 14px, a left offset of -10px, and a width that fills the viewport minus the scrollbar. Their inner elements, images, and links have a transparent background and the same responsive width.

The standfirst sections in these containers have top and bottom padding with a right margin offset. The paragraphs inside use a specific font family, and the links within them are also targeted for styling.For comment articles, links within the standfirst section should use the designated pillar color, have an underline with a specific offset and color, and no background image or bottom border. On iOS and Android devices, when hovering over these links in feature, standard, or comment articles, the underline color should change to the pillar color. Also, on these devices, the metadata section should have no margin, the author and byline text should use the pillar color, and the miscellaneous metadata area should have no padding.For iOS and Android devices, the following CSS rules apply to feature, standard, and comment article containers:

– SVG icons within the meta miscellaneous section use the new pillar color for strokes.
– The caption button in showcase elements is displayed as a flex container, centered with 5px padding, 28px width and height, and positioned 14px from the right.
– The article body has 12px padding on the left and right.
– Non-thumbnail, non-immersive image figures have no margin, a width calculated as 100vw minus 24px and the scrollbar width, and an automatic height. Their captions have no padding.
– Immersive image figures have a width calculated as 100vw minus the scrollbar width.
– Quoted blockquotes in the prose section have a `:before` pseudo-element applied.For quoted blockquotes in the article body on iOS and Android, the color before the quote uses the new pillar color.

On iOS and Android, links within the article body for feature, standard, and comment articles are styled with the primary pillar color. They have an underline with an offset of 6px, using the header border color for the underline. On hover, the underline color changes to the new pillar color.

In dark mode, the furniture wrapper background for these article types on iOS and Android changes to #1a1a1a. Within it, content labels use the new pillar color, headlines have no background and use the header border color for text, and standfirst paragraphs also use the header border color. Links in the standfirst, author names, and author links within the meta section are styled accordingly.This appears to be CSS code for styling web articles on Android and iOS devices. The code sets colors for author bylines, icons, image captions, and blockquotes using custom color variables. It also applies a dark background to article content areas.This appears to be a CSS selector targeting the first letter of paragraphs in specific containers on iOS and Android devices. The selector applies to various article containers (feature, standard, comment) and looks for paragraphs following certain elements like `.element-atom`, `.sign-in-gate`, or `#sign-in-gate`.For Android and iOS devices, the first letter of paragraphs following specific elements in various article containers will be styled with a custom color variable, defaulting to white.For comment articles on Android with the Garnett design, the standfirst section has a top padding of 24 pixels and no top margin. The main text uses a font size of 24 pixels for second-level headings.

On iOS, the caption button in article containers has specific padding, while on Android, it uses slightly different padding.

In dark mode, the color scheme adjusts various text and icon colors to lighter shades and specific dark mode palette colors.

When the page includes a Guardian organization logo, the branding element is always displayed.

On both iOS and Android, article labels and headlines within the furniture wrapper use a medium font weight. The standfirst text and paragraphs also use this weight.

The page uses a custom background color for weekend essays, which is also applied to the article section and sub-meta areas.

The lines element is hidden. The furniture wrapper is positioned relatively and uses a specific grid layout on larger screens.

The article header has a fixed height and contains labels. A decorative book GIF is positioned in the bottom right corner of the labels area, with its size increasing on larger screens. A horizontal line is also added at the bottom of the labels area, spanning the viewport width.For screens with a minimum width of 61.25em, the content labels after div elements within the article header and title sections in the furniture wrapper will not be displayed.

When the screen width is at least 71.25em, the article header and title sections in the furniture wrapper will have a height of 80px. This increases to 125px at a minimum width of 81.25em. At this same breakpoint, the headline, its data-gu-name counterpart, and the headline class will have a top margin of -2px.

Within the furniture wrapper, the headline, its data-gu-name counterpart, and the headline class have inner div elements with no bottom padding. The portrait main media headline wrapper inside these sections takes up full height, is positioned relatively, hides overflow, and has a bottom padding of 24px.

Headings (h1), links (a), and byline spans within this wrapper have no maximum width, a line height of 115%, a font weight of 500, and a font size of 36px. On hover, headings and links show a 2px thick underline with a 6px offset. At a minimum screen width of 71.25em, the font size for these elements increases to 50px.

The standfirst section, its ID, and data-gu-name counterpart in the furniture wrapper are positioned relatively with a top padding of 4px. This top padding changes to 0 at 61.25em and to 2px at 71.25em.

Within the meta section and its data-gu-name counterpart in the furniture wrapper, the branding island inside the content meta container is set to display as a block.

The main media section in the furniture wrapper is also included..furniture-wrapper [data-gu-name=media] {

}For the main media caption button, set the bottom position to 30px. In the furniture wrapper, if there’s no media, center the content both horizontally and vertically. Style the text within to be large, bold, underlined, and a specific color.

For interactive content on wider screens, remove the left margin and hide the preceding element. Style supporting blockquotes with a light background. For the first paragraph after specific elements, create a large, uppercase drop cap using a headline font. Style level-two headings with a dark orange color and light font weight, making them bolder if they contain strong text. Give iframes within figures the same light background.

On apps and mobile platforms, adjust the follow button’s display and text size. Ensure media elements fit their content. In dark mode, set the background colors for the article section and weekend essay to a dark gray.[data-app-os=android] .furniture-wrapper .article-header:after,

}The grid is set up with five equal-width columns, starting from the title and ending at the portrait. The rows are defined with specific fractions for the title, headline, and standfirst, while the meta section adjusts automatically.

On iOS and Android devices, the title and GIF wrapper within the furniture container for feature, standard, and comment articles uses flexbox to arrange items in a row, spaced apart.

The labels inside this wrapper have a bold font size of 17px with 115% line height. Links within these labels are colored using a custom variable (defaulting to #c74600) and keep their original text case.

GIF containers and their images are sized at 70×70 pixels. Specific classes like `book-gif-white` apply to both the container and image elements.For Android devices, hide the white book GIFs in feature, standard, and comment article containers. In dark mode, hide the regular book GIFs and show the white ones instead for both iOS and Android. On iOS and Android, add a light gray line at the bottom of the title and GIF wrapper in these article containers. For larger screens, adjust the layout of the title and GIF wrapper in iOS feature and standard articles.The title-and-gif-wrapper element is assigned to the grid area named “title” for several containers across iOS and Android. For iOS and Android, after this wrapper in feature, standard, and comment article containers, its width is set to 50 viewport width units.

In dark mode, the background color after these wrappers changes to #606060.

On larger screens (61.25em and above), the portrait-mainmedia__headline-wrapper is assigned to the grid area “headline” for the same article types on both iOS and Android.

For headlines, bylines, and their links within these containers on iOS and Android, the font size is 36px with normal style, medium weight (500), and a line height of 115%.For feature, standard, and comment articles on iOS and Android devices, the byline text and links are set to a red color (#c70000) or a custom variable. In dark mode, this changes to a darker orange (#c74600). Avatars are hidden in these sections. Headlines have no bottom margin or padding. Bylines are displayed in italics.For iOS and Android devices, the author’s byline in feature, standard, and comment articles should be displayed in a normal font style, not italicized.

In these same article types, the main media container should have an automatic height, a 4:5 aspect ratio, and a transparent background. Any figure elements within this container should take up the full height and have no left margin.

Inside these figures, the inner containers should be positioned normally at the top-left, with a transparent background, no padding, and visible overflow.

For images within these figure elements, the width should be the full viewport width minus 40 pixels, with a left margin of 20 pixels and a top margin of 25 pixels.The CSS code sets specific styles for images and captions within article containers on iOS and Android devices. Images get a 13px top margin, while captions are set to auto height with block display and a gray text color. For screens wider than 46.25em, figures expand to full width and have a left-aligned decorative element.For iOS and Android devices, the image width within article containers is set to the full viewport width minus 60 pixels, with a left margin of 30 pixels and a top margin of 40 pixels.

On larger screens (61.25em and above), the width adjusts to half the viewport minus 40 pixels and the scrollbar width, with a reduced left margin of 18 pixels and a top margin of 10 pixels. The image height is set to auto, and padding is removed.

At 71.25em and above, a slight upward adjustment is made.

For even larger screens (81.25em and above), the width is recalculated to half the viewport minus 90 pixels and the scrollbar width, with a left margin of 12 pixels, a negative top margin of -10 pixels, and a top padding of 21 pixels.

In dark mode, specific styles are applied for iOS devices.For iOS and Android devices, the first image in articles (feature, standard, or comment types) has specific styling. A white frame background is applied to these images.

On smaller screens, the first image spans almost the full viewport width, accounting for scrollbars, with no left margin and 10px of padding.

On wider screens (above 61.25em), the image width reduces to half the viewport, with a small left margin and top padding, and the height adjusts automatically.

On even wider screens (above 81.25em), the width is slightly narrower, with an additional negative top margin applied.For the main media figure element that is the first image, set the height to 100% and the maximum width to 620px as important.

On iOS and Android devices, for feature, standard, and comment article containers, before the main media figure element that is the first image, set the width to half the viewport width minus 20px and the scrollbar width, align it to the left, and set the height to 100%.

For viewports at least 81.25em wide, on iOS and Android devices, for feature, standard, and comment article containers, before the main media figure element that is the first image, shift it 20px to the left.

For viewports at least 46.25em wide, on iOS and Android devices, for feature, standard, and comment article containers, position the caption button in the main media 45px from the bottom.

On iOS and Android devices, for feature, standard, and comment article containers, the images within the inner figure element…Images within figure elements are set to cover their containers fully. On iOS and Android devices, caption buttons in article containers are positioned 24px from the right and 20px from the bottom.

For screens wider than 46.25em, the inner figure dimensions adjust to 680px wide with automatic height, positioned 10px from the top and left, while caption buttons move to 25px from the bottom.

On screens wider than 61.25em, figures themselves become half the viewport width minus 20px and any scrollbar width.

Standfirst sections in these article containers have no top margin, 8px top padding, and 10px right padding, with their before pseudo-elements hidden. Paragraphs, links, and list items within standfirst inners maintain consistent styling.For Android devices, links, list items, and paragraphs within the standfirst section of feature, standard, and comment articles have a font size of 20px, a normal style, a medium weight, 115% line height, and no bottom padding.

On screens wider than 61.25em, the standfirst section for these article types on both iOS and Android is placed in a grid area named ‘standfirst’.

The meta section for these articles on both iOS and Android has no top padding. The published date within the meta section is positioned relatively. A thin gray line is displayed below the published date, extending the full viewport width on smaller screens. On screens wider than 61.25em, the meta section is placed in a grid area named ‘meta’ and displayed as a block, with the line below the published date shortening to 50% of the viewport width.

On screens wider than 81.25em, the miscellaneous meta information for these articles on both iOS and Android…For iOS and Android devices, adjust the styles for article containers. In dark mode, set the background color of the published date separator to #606060. Hide certain meta and keyline elements, and remove rich-link sidebars. Also, hide the cutout container in comment headers.

Set the article body background to a custom variable with a fallback color, add a top margin, and style horizontal rules with specific dimensions and color. For the first letter of the first paragraph or the paragraph after a horizontal rule, apply a drop cap style with specific font properties, size, and color.

Ensure that strong or bold text within h2 headings uses a medium font weight.When the color scheme is set to dark, horizontal rules in article and feature bodies on iOS and Android devices will have a background color of #606060. Additionally, the first letter of the first paragraph following a horizontal rule will be colored using a custom property (–new-pillar-colour), defaulting to #ff5943. Links within paragraphs in these sections will have no text decoration.

For the first paragraph following an initial atom element in article or feature bodies on iOS and Android, the first letter will have a font weight of 500.

In comment bodies or sections named “body” on iOS and Android, the first letter of the first paragraph after an atom element (or after sign-in gates) will have a font weight of 300 and no top padding.

Headings (h2) on iOS and Android will be styled with a color of #8d2700, a font size of 28px, normal font style, a font weight of 300, normal line height, and margins of 28px on top, 0 on the sides, and 8px on the bottom. On Android, the cutout container will be hidden.

In dark mode, the portrait main media headline wrapper on iOS and Android will have a gradient background. In comment bodies or “body” sections, the first letter of paragraphs (except the first one) will be white, and h2 headings will use a custom color variable (–byline), defaulting to #c74600.

When scripting is enabled, certain interactive elements, content grids, furniture wrappers, and header components will start with an opacity of 0. Once the “interactive-loaded” class is applied to the root, these elements will become fully opaque with a smooth transition over 0.3 seconds.

Liz Truss, Britain’s shortest-serving prime minister, launched the first episode of her YouTube show by pledging to expose “the evil-doers” she claims are trying to undermine Britain, the US, and Europe. She stated her intention to reveal how an “international network of leftists work to subvert democracy and the will of the people.”

Despite her grim opening, Truss pointed to inspiration from the United States. “We’re going to look at the Trump revolution and see how this can be achieved in Britain,” she said. “We’ll be talking to the leading lights of the Maga movement.”

Ahead of the show’s debut, one supporter was especially fervent. “This is the beginning of a kind of revolution,”Aided by John Solomon, a controversial veteran US journalist, former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss will host her new podcast on his conservative platform, Just the News. British allies, including a pro-Reform adviser who has appeared on MAGA media outlets, have also helped launch the Liz Truss Show. While the production is basic, it is professionally done. In its first week, Truss gained 10,000 subscribers and her debut episode received 67,000 views.

Though a modest start, partnering with Solomon places Truss within an established conservative ecosystem that produces and amplifies MAGA talking points. This network focuses on alleged censorship by mainstream media and aims to dismantle a conspiratorial “deep state”—which Truss blames for the abrupt end of her troubled premiership.

“Just the News isn’t well-known outside the MAGA world, but it carries weight there, largely because of Solomon,” said Alex Hinton, a Rutgers University anthropology professor who studies the MAGA movement. “He provides commentary on platforms like Steve Bannon’s War Room and has even interviewed Trump.”

Truss’s move to bring MAGA-style media to Britain has aligned her with controversial figures like Solomon. He founded Just the News after facing criticism for promoting false stories about Joe Biden’s anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine and for controversial reporting on former US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch. His claims were widely circulated in pro-Trump media, with Solomon appearing regularly on Sean Hannity’s influential Fox News show. Trump himself promoted Solomon’s reporting.

Solomon originally published the Ukraine claims in a series of columns for The Hill, where he had already been moved to a columnist role following internal complaints. His reporting was central to Trump’s 2019 pressure on Ukraine to investigate the Bidens, which led to Trump’s impeachment. The Senate later acquitted him.

Weeks after Solomon left The Hill in October 2019, the outlet reviewed his Ukraine-related work and concluded he had relied on unreliable sources, failing to disclose that key Ukrainian contacts were under indictment or investigation. Solomon did not respond to the Guardian’s requests for comment on these findings or his support for Truss’s show, but has previously stated, “I stand by each and every one of the columns that I wrote.”

Solomon’s media appearances highlight the conservative ecosystem Truss is joining. He discussed supporting Truss’s podcast on Real America’s Voice, a right-wing cable channel that hosts MAGA influencers like Steve Bannon and Tucker Carlson. Truss has already interviewed Bannon in one of her first episodes.

By partnering with Solomon and Just the News, Truss has become a minor part of a broader conservative media network that frequently amplifies each other’s content. Solomon’s podcast and Real America’s Voice show regularly feature figures like Mike Benz, a right-wing influencer whose criticism of USAID was cited by Elon Musk as a reason to defund the agency. Benz promotes conspiracies involving George Soros and USAID, claims an “industrial censorship complex” silences conservative voices, and spread the false idea that Taylor Swift is a Pentagon “psychological operation” asset.Benz was granted an exclusive interview with Marco Rubio, during which the secretary of state announced the closure of the Global Engagement Center, a body dedicated to countering foreign disinformation. Benz had previously accused the center of anti-conservative censorship. Benz did not respond to requests for comment.

While Liz Truss’s awkward style and political struggles have made her a target of ridicule in Britain, some U.S. observers are not dismissing her efforts to rebrand herself as a British offshoot of the Maga media movement.

“You have to take folks like that seriously, even if you may not want to take them literally,” said Rob Flaherty, a deputy campaign manager for Kamala Harris’s 2024 presidential campaign and a former Biden White House staffer. “You saw how in 2024 President Trump leveraged that ecosystem to get his message out there. That ecosystem certainly exports and influences conversations abroad. It seems relatively clear to me that the conditions in the UK are similar to what allowed this alternative media ecosystem to thrive here.”

Alan Finlayson, a professor of political and social theory at the University of East Anglia, noted that the online conservative ecosystem is already making its mark in Britain. “Digital media knows no borders,” he said. “There’s a kind of environment where ideas flow—sometimes taking an extreme form, sometimes less so—but everything is connected.”

Hinton pointed out that the recent growth of the online right in the UK means “the potential to have a growing impact is significant.” He added, “Both Truss and [Reform UK leader Nigel] Farage recently appeared at the Conservative Political Action Conference, where I watched as they echoed Maga talking points ahead of the king of Maga, Trump. Maga, which claims to be an anti-globalist movement, has become a global hegemon.”

Truss’s first show included hints that she hopes to appeal to an American audience as well, with references that might not resonate with British viewers. At one point, she remarked, “We’re now poorer than Mississippi. It’s like Huckleberry Finn without the steamboats.”

John Solomon has long been involved in efforts to build an alternative conservative media network. He played a key role in establishing the Informing America Foundation (IAF), a little-known nonprofit that provides millions in funding to conservative media outlets across the U.S. According to 2023 tax filings, the IAF has also funded Bentley Media Group, the parent company of Just the News, and supports a range of local conservative media in key swing states. Neither the IAF nor Just the News responded to requests for comment on whether they financially support Truss’s new show. A representative for Truss also did not respond.

Solomon said last year that the IAF now reaches “an ecosystem that reaches more than 120 million Americans a month.” He has stated that he holds no formal role at the IAF but shares office space with Just the News.

Hinton described Truss’s move as a “media marriage of convenience” for both sides. “It gives Just the News an international and UK foothold—and her British stature will bring the network a degree of cosmopolitan prestige,” he said. “Truss, meanwhile, gets the opportunity to refurbish her image.”

Advising Truss on the show is Joseph Robertson, a political strategist and Reform member who has spent time in the U.S. Appearing on a Real America’s Voice show last month, Robertson claimed that Britain would effectively face “communist rule” if the government’s digital ID policy moves forward. Like Truss, Robertson backs these views.He seeks the downfall of the “administrative deep state” and has advocated for Britain to become a “Dubai on Thames,” through deregulation and stricter law and order.

In launching her show, Truss seems to be taking advice from Solomon on how to bring MAGA-style media to the UK. He told her that “one of the wisest things” done by major conservative donors, like the late Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus and billionaire office supply magnate Richard Uihlein, was to build an alternative “communication system” when Trump first took office. “We created a communications infrastructure that could bypass the legacy media and get the message out,” he explained.

Some believe Truss’s bigger issue may be that she simply isn’t very skilled in this medium. “Successful figures in this space have charisma and the ability to capture attention,” said Craig Oliver, former communications chief for David Cameron. “I would say that’s a strike against her.” Finlayson added, “She has never been good at this. When she tries to be dramatic and scary, it comes off as ludicrous.”

However, Flaherty cautioned critics against dismissing Truss’s chances of finding acceptance in the MAGA universe. “The alternative media ecosystem has no shortage of comeback stories,” he noted. “It is always possible to rebrand yourself when you cater to a fervent political fanbase.”
