History

Historical Context

In the 2016 presidential race, Donald Trump leveraged an unprecedented $2 billion of free media coverage—far outpacing rivals—while spending only about $10 million on ads. That media-driven model inspired later partisan messaging, such as journalist Michael Wolff’s 2023 Trump-praise notes circulated with support from figures like Senator Jon Ossoff. The continuity shows how the 2016 media surge created a template for loyalty-based propaganda in campaigns.
