🎙️ Political Trade Secrets: Controlling the Narrative: What Politics Can Learn From Trial Attorneys | Why would a Democrat say Trump understands commanding attention and shaping narratives better than other politicians? Join Dustin Olson and Donte Mills—national trial attorney, Temple law professor, and Democrat analyst—as they pull back the curtain on how persuasion actually works in courtrooms, campaigns, and the media—and why controlling the narrative often matters more than the facts themselves. The episode explores: • Why the same set of facts can lead to completely different outcomes • Why many trials are effectively decided before the judge ever picks up the gavel • The one thing Donte has done in his career that 99% of other lawyers never have • How Donte’s work with celebrities like Kevin Hart transformed the entertainment industry • What high-profile cases like Johnny Depp’s reveal about the hidden media battles for the Jury’s mind and the court of public opinion 🔹 Join Polling Club for exclusive insights on public opinion: PollingClub.com 👉 LIKE, FOLLOW & SUBSCRIBE for your front-row seat to how politics really works.
