The media has a secret playbook to take down Trump—and David Sacks just blew it wide open.
[Sacks: Tech founder & investor and the White House Crypto & A.I. Czar. He lives in San Francisco.]
Not only did he expose their dirty tricks, he revealed Trump’s 4-D chess move to flip the entire national conversation.
But wait until you hear what he said about Zelenskyy. The globalist warmongers are going to lose it.
🧵THREAD [👈 You can watch all the videos by clicking the hyperlink.]It started with a quiet bombshell—one that David Sacks says most people missed.
According to Sacks, the media isn’t just ignoring Trump’s wins. They’ve built an entire playbook to erase them.
On the All-In podcast, @DavidSacks pulled back the curtain on a dirty trick the media has been using for years. He pointed to a viral post on X that exposed the hypocrisy in plain sight:
“If you think a market selloff delegitimizes Trump’s presidency, you’re going to give him unconditional credit when it rallies right? Cause those are the rules now.”
Simple logic. But as Sacks explained, the media refuses to play fair.
“The market has rallied, like you said it’s up 7% this week but the media doesn’t want to give Trump any credit for it, so it’s kinda created this narrative of a ‘Bessent put.’”
Rather than credit Trump, they scramble to credit anyone else.
“So what they do on any particular week is valorize a particular member of the administration——because I don’t want to give Trump that credit,” he said.
It’s not a glitch—it’s the strategy. Sacks said they’ll keep rotating through different faces just to keep the anti-Trump narrative alive.
“And next week they’ll be tearing Scott down and there’ll be some other member of the administration they’ll be trying to valorize.”
Anyone watching closely can see what’s happening.
“If the media’s going to tear Trump down every time the market goes down,” Sacks said, “you have to give him credit when the market goes back up.”
He added, “I think there’s just a general reluctance to do that.”
The pattern is obvious. But the story doesn’t stop there.Sacks then turned the conversation to something even bigger—how Trump is flipping the entire national conversation in real time, and most people don’t even realize.
It’s not just about the market anymore. It’s about how Trump uses controversy itself as a weapon.
Andrew Ross Sorkin wondered if Trump could’ve achieved his goals with a softer approach on tariffs.
@chamath Palihapitiya pushed back:
“But what is to say this isn’t the velvet glove?—The stock market is down 6%! Like it's not down 60%.”
Sacks picked up the thread and took it even further.
“This is what I think is so interesting, Andrew, is the way that Trump has already shifted the conversation.”
Just a few weeks ago, none of this was on anyone’s radar.
“Because the truth of the matter is that before Liberation Day on April 2nd, just three weeks ago, no one was talking about the unfair trade practices.”
“No one was talking about the dependencies on rare earths, no one was talking about the race to the bottom. And Trump has shifted the conversation.”
Sacks said it’s no accident. Trump follows a playbook most people don't even realize exists.
“When Jared Kushner was on the show, he talked about how the Trumpian approach is: controversy elevates message.”
Trump isn’t just creating noise—he’s planting flags, forcing a realignment.
“By having this Liberation Day, by planting this flag in the ground, Trump was creating leverage to then have these negotiations, and he completely shifted the conversation.”
And it’s working.
“The fact that you’re saying that you don’t disagree with where Trump is trying to get to, but it’s mostly just tactical, is a huge shift in the conversation.”
The game has changed—and not by accident.From there, the conversation took an even sharper turn—straight into the heart of the war in Ukraine.
Sacks sounded off with no filter. He called out something few are willing to say out loud.
“Zelenskyy has made his bed, let him sleep in it.”
According to Sacks, Zelenskyy isn’t just stubborn. He’s become the single biggest obstacle to ending the war.
“The basic problem is that Zelenskyy doesn’t want to make a deal. I mean, he has rebuffed the Americans on Crimea, which should be the easiest point to give on.”
And it’s not just about military strategy—it’s about basic respect.
“He’s been completely unrealistic about their prospects on the battlefield. He was insulting to the White House when he visited the White House in his T-shirt or whatever. He was dressed inappropriately.”
“He was insulting to the president and especially the vice president. He murmured under his breath a curse word to the vice president. Remember that?”
Sacks pointed out the obvious: Zelenskyy is biting the very hand that feeds him.
“And remember, he’s biting the hand that feeds him. I mean, he has an obligation, I think, to be respectful to his patrons in a way that his patrons may not have to be to him.”
The bigger picture, he said, is even more troubling.
“And he has demonstrated, I think, that he’s unrealistic in every possible way. He’s unrealistic about Ukrainian prospects on the battlefield, about retaking Crimea, and about who the hand is that feeds him.”
Then Sacks dropped the final hammer:
“So my view on this is quite simple, which is if Zelenskyy won’t see reality, let him find new patrons. Let Starmer and Macron support him.”
And he closed it out with a brutal but honest truth:
“My point is Zelenskyy has made his bed. Let him sleep in it.”But Sacks wasn’t done yet.
He ended with a warning that stretched beyond the headlines—one that hits the heart of the fight for America’s future, DOGE.
He said Elon Musk has already exposed the rot inside the government through DOGE—and he paid a heavy personal price for doing it.
Elon Musk, Sacks said, has been the canary in the coal mine. And now, it’s Congress’s turn to act.
“What we really need is for Congress to now embrace all of the corruption that Elon has found and eliminate it from the budget, because at the end of the day, in order to capture the savings here, we do need those appropriations eliminated from the budget.”
But the real danger isn’t Musk walking away—it’s Congress slipping right back into business as usual.
“These old bulls in Congress who control the appropriations process—are they going to basically backslide and just put the spending back in because it’s easier to engage in this logrolling, or do we take advantage of this?”
Sacks made it clear: Musk didn’t expose all this without paying a heavy price.
“This has cost him enormously. One of the reasons why Tesla is down is because you've had crazy leftists engaging in terrorism, firebombing Tesla dealerships.”
And what Musk uncovered, Sacks said, is even worse than people realize.
“We’ve basically learned that this whole NGO thing is a giant scam where the people in government give enormous amounts of money to their friends, probably with the expectation that when they leave government, they're going to be next in line at the trough.”
The corruption has been exposed. Now the question is whether anyone will do anything about it.
“Elon's done an enormous service exposing this. But it's not entirely up to him. In order for us to realize the benefit, we need Congress now to act on that. I’m afraid that’s not going to happen.”

This is why the Censorship Industrial Complex is fortifying itself.
When the façade is shattered and shared with non-MAGAs, it actually make reasonable people question their loathing for Trump.
