Donald Trump switched-up his media game choosing internet-famous hosts over tv anchors this year (a move that caught many off-guard). The ex-president ditched traditional news outlets and went straight to where young guys hang out - popular podcasts and YouTube channels
His appearances mixed serious talk with fun stuff: he sat down with pro football players to discuss politics; explored UFO theories with internet sensation Logan Paul‚ and even brought fast-food aboard his private plane for the Nelk Boys – calling these YouTube stars “todays version of Johnny Carson“
The former presidents media tour hit different spots: he joined the Flagrant podcast crew (where they talked about his july brush with danger) and made time for various sports-focused shows. His new approach seemed to work well – reaching millions of viewers through these non-traditional channels‚ while keeping things casual and down-to-earth
