Miles Taylor predicts Trump's reaction to Zacharia's briefing

The News Agents' fast-starting Short shifts from an unanswered Ukraine question to the president's sensitivity to coverage.

“This is what Donald Trump went to bed thinking about, he will not be able to stand the coverage”

Katie Zacharia's debut briefing is over, but The News Agents' discussion turns to the audience member who wasn't at the lectern: Donald Trump.

"Donald Trump will not be able to stand the coverage," former Department of Homeland Security chief of staff Miles Taylor tells the podcast. It is his prediction about the president's reaction, rather than an account of what Trump has actually said.

The Short pairs that assessment with footage of the new White House press secretary. Asked about US intelligence sharing with Ukraine, Zacharia replies, "I'll have to get back to you on that." In the studio, the hosts emphasize how brief the appearance was: three questions before it ended.

The excerpt has drawn about 37,000 views in its first 13 hours, already several times the channel's usual full-day audience for a Short. That brisk start comes while viewing across the channel overall is below its usual daily pace.

The discussion also appears in the longer News Agents USA episode, "Will Trump's new press secretary last the week? | The News Agents USA," which examines the scrutiny coming from both the press and the president.
