Hey guys so I've been watching a lot of Tim Pool recently because he seems to be on top of all the breaking news. One thing that continues to urk me though is his compulsion to say negative things about Trump. This wouldn't bother me too much if the negative things were.. well, all that negative or relevant. The only specific criticisms against Trump I could gather from Tim throughout all his videos is that Trump once thought about letting a foreign dignitary stay at one of his golf courses and Trump says mean things sometimes. It's so weird that he harps on these things over and over and to me they seem incredibly irrelevant. I'm Canadian so maybe I'm missing something?

its more persuasive to normies if you come from a place of being a "moderate"
Correct, pretend fence sitter. It is his brand among a sea of other proud conservatives. It isn't a better or worse strategy but this is key to his growth because it sets him apart from other stuff people could watch.
The enemy of mine enemy is mine friend.
This isn't true in the rest of the world. For most people the enemy of my enemy is just my enemies enemy, and probably my enemy too.
Definitely. Tim is funneling moderates, and people who feel disenfranchised by the left into Trump support. Even though I really like Adam, I think getting rid of him from Timcast IRL was a smart move. We were down with him going full MAGA because we're on the Trump train, but anyone on the fence at such a crucial time is potentially going to be turned off by that IMO.
Exactly, he's making it acceptable for people who don't "like" Trump to vote for him anyway.
Baby steps to MAGA.
Most likely, he's converted more moderate liberals into Trump voters than any single person on here.
