Trump attacked me. He's coming after me. - Luke Beasley



Summary

Luke Beasley interviews influencer Harry Sisson regarding the Trump White House's targeting of Sisson on social media.

Key points:

- Presidential attacks: Trump posted an AI-generated video showing himself dropping sewage on Sisson from a fighter jet

- Recent exchange: White House communications director Steven Cheung and White House Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair engaged in a Twitter exchange with Sisson that quickly turned to sexual innuendo, with them joking about "spanking" him

- Pattern of behavior: Sisson notes that conflicts with Trump administration officials consistently become "creepy" and "weird" rather than policy-focused disagreements

- Double standard: Luke an Harry discuss how similar behavior from Biden or Obama would have sparked massive outrage, citing the example of Neera Tanden's nomination being blocked over her tweets

- Why the attention?: Sisson speculates he's become a target because he uses Twitter to "rage bait" MAGA supporters and "get under their skin," though he admits he doesn't fully understand why he specifically attracts such intense reactions

The conversation highlights the unusual nature of a sitting president and White House staff publicly attacking a private citizen with crude content, and the apparent hypocrisy in Republican reactions compared to how they treated previous Democratic administrations.
