Do Dems have to sound like Trump to beat him?

Do Dems have to sound like Trump to beat him?

We start with the fallout from the unorthodox, perhaps undignifying diplomatic spectacle at the White House earlier this week. We are a million miles away from any peace deal in Ukraine, let alone any concrete shape of the 'security guarantees' Donald Trump has suggested may hypothetically be offered by the US in the event that Europe puts boots on the ground in Ukraine. And yet, already, prominent MAGA voices are coming forward to sound the alarm about American involvement in another foreign war. What do those warnings mean for how Donald Trump confronts the most pressing global crisis?

Later, Gavin Newsom has clearly irritated the President - and Fox News - with his social media imitation of Donald Trump. He's started TWEETING IN ALL CAPS!! and thanking followers for their attention to this matter. It's a novel approach, and does appear to have boosted his personal ratings as speculation heightens that he's eyeing up the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028. Is it effective? Or is it just a bit cringey? And is he mocking Trump? Or imitating him?
