I think that messaging and how it is presented is quite important. In that regard, Trump was absolutely trash at communicating anything and set back several decades of public policy progress in so many ways. For example, when the TikTok stuff happened, it was always led with "CHY NAH IS AWFUL" followed with something to the effect of "WORST TRADE PARTNER EVER". Instead of calling out things like the coordinated and well integrated industrial espionage operations that are ongoing, he chose to go with stupid explanations of why he was doing stuff. The fact that the CCP and private industry work closely together on wholesale intellectual property theft and knowledge transfer to benefit state backed enterprises are pretty legitimate grievances. As the Big Lebowski told us... "You're not wrong Walter, you're just an asshole."
