Liz Truss, Steve Bannon and Tucker Carlson? A Look Inside the Former PM's Foray for Make America Great Again

Britain's shortest-serving prime minister, kicked off the first edition of her online program with a promise to unmask "the evil-doers" striving to weaken the UK, United States and European nations. Truss elaborated she would reveal how an "global web of liberal activists work to weaken popular rule and the will of the people."

"We will examine the Trump revolution and see how this can be accomplished in Britain," she said. "Our guests will include the key figures of the Trumpist political sphere."

Before the show's launch, there was a strong advocate. "This is the beginning of a type of transformation," stated the controversial US journalist. His conservative Just the News will publish the former prime minister's new podcasts.

Building Connections in the Conservative Media Landscape

Compatriot supporters, featuring a counselor supportive of Reform, have also helped her establish the Truss's program. The setup is professional, though simple. The show has attracted 10,000 subscribers in her debut week and her premiere achieved 67,000 views during that week.

This marks a humble beginning, but in making common cause with John Solomon, the former PM is being entering a mature right-wing media network producing and amplifying Make America Great Again themes. Central preoccupations encompass accusations of information control by the mainstream media and a goal to dismantle a so-called administrative state – a force that the ex-PM holds responsible for the swift end of her disastrous time in office.

"Just the News is not widely recognized outside of the Maga-verse, but it does have credibility there, mostly due to John Solomon, who provides analysis on pro-Trump shows like Bannon's 'War Room' podcast and has even questioned Donald Trump," noted Alex Hinton, who has analyzed the Trumpist political wave.

A Controversial Partner

Her effort to bring American conservative media to Britain has aligned her more closely to controversial figures such as the journalist.

He founded his media outlet in the wake of criticism after he was accused of pushing misleading narratives about the President's actions in the Ukraine, as well as controversial stories about ex-ambassador to the region.

These allegations were echoed throughout the pro-Trump outlets, with Solomon serving as a frequent visitor on the prominent cable news broadcast. Donald Trump promoted his stories.

The journalist published the Ukraine claims in a number of opinion pieces for the publication the Hill, after having been moved to a columnist role when staffers raised concerns over his articles. His claims were key in Trump's demand for the Ukrainian government to investigate the Bidens in that year. Those demands led to articles of impeachment against Trump. The US Senate later acquitted the president.

Weeks after he exited the newspaper in October 2019, the news organization announced it was carrying out a review of his columns about Ukrainian matters. It concluded Solomon had relied on questionable informants and said he "did not disclose important details about primary contacts in Ukraine, including the fact that they had been indicted or were the subject of inquiries."

Joining the Network

His TV and radio guest spots are a example of the conservative ecosystem Truss is joining. Solomon mentioned his endorsement of her new show on a program he presents on Real America's Voice, a conservative television outlet that is home to the conservative firebrand Steve Bannon and on which commentator Tucker Carlson also appears. She has already hosted Bannon on an early episode.

In linking up with Solomon and Just the News, the former leader has become a small part in a broader ecosystem of right-wing publications that often cross-promote stories.

Solomon's own programs have repeatedly hosted figures such as Mike Benz, a political voice whose criticism of the US Agency for International Development was used by Elon Musk as reasoning behind dismantling the international development organization.

A Global Media Play

Even though the former PM's unnatural presentation and professional woes have drawn derision within the UK, some US observers are not discounting her efforts to rebrand as a local version of the Make America Great Again press.

"One must regard folks like that as significant, although you may not want to interpret them word-for-word," said a former Biden White House aide, who served in the Biden administration.

"Observers witnessed how in the recent campaign Donald Trump leveraged that media network to spread his narrative. Without a doubt that ecosystem exports and influences discourse abroad. It appears quite apparent to me that the conditions in the Britain are similar to what allowed this alternative media ecosystem to prosper in America."

a political theory expert, said the digital right-wing media sphere was already having an impact in Britain.

"Online platforms is borderless," Finlayson remarked. "There exists a sort of atmosphere within which ideas travel – at times manifesting in radical ways and occasionally in softer tones – but which is interlinked."

Professor Hinton said the growth of the internet-based right wing in the UK lately meant the "chance to have a increasing influence is considerable."

A Transatlantic Ambition
