I don't know what about this article works so well, but it just does.

Somehow the headline brought me in, and by the end of the article it was easy to forget what the article was supposed to be about because we'd segued so far from McDonalds and showmanship and by this point we'd delved deep into the media and headline manipulation that occurred among the Legacy Media during the last 10 days of the election.

More stories like this please.

hmmm.
That article mentions that it is excerpted from her book, "Butler"

Technical correction: She claims Trump drove around in a garbage truck in Michigan.
On Wednesday, 31 October, Trump was driven around the tarmac in a Garbage truck in Green Bay, at Austin Straubel airport. Green Bay is in Wisconsin. Unlike Cincinatti, our airport is also in our state. Trump rallied past midnight at his campaign stop at the KI Convention Center - the largest venue outside Lambeau Field. I had friends who went to it, stood in line. Later, eating at Denny's, I met several groups who had left the rally early so they could get to work the next morning.
I fully expect Libtard stenographers who claim themselves "journalists" to always get the facts wrong. But I also find it annoying when right reporters don't bother to obtain the facts, just because they expect to get a pass for being wrong.

Trump also did a stand-up comedy bit with his orange safety vest on, and this was the spur for Trick-or-Treaters to wear a Safety vest as costume that night. I saw way more than I could count on my fingers and toes.

That whole arrangement was apparently set up while in flight to WI, because a staffer pointed out that "Garbage" was trending on socials. The truck was set up within an hour, and waiting for him to land. Kamala would have needed 3 months. Plus a $B. Plus a few committees. Plus a few bottles of drinky.

I personally felt that the McDonald's was more of a staged thing, but the Garbage truck seemed more of spur-of-the-moment, and spot on, with the orange vest as the cherry on top. I expect my view is biased, but it just seemed to resonate - not necessarily better, but an epitome after the McD's buildup. The remaining week I heard pundits clamoring about how his stand-up hit home.
