Would this strategy be more effective than when the Dems were screaming on social media that Trump was saying he would be a dictator on day one?

“We love this guy,” Trump said of Hannity. “He says, ‘You’re not going to be a dictator, are you?’ I said: ‘No, no, no, other than day one. We’re closing the border, and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, I’m not a dictator.’”

And then have his team come on the back and say this.

Trump campaign aides said Thursday that the former president was simply trying to trigger the left and the media with his dictator comment, while also seeking to focus attention on the influx of migrants at the border and stubborn inflation, two vulnerabilities for President Joe Biden heading into the 2024 general election.

That was December 2023. We have seen this over and over and over. Criticism of the Dems's communication strategy are always welcome based on their general incompetence in this area. But it seems silly to blame them for not doing the things they have done in the past that a significant portion of their party chose then and still choose to reject. We know that if the Dems did as you ask, the right would say that Trump was obviously joking and just trolling the Dems. The Dems will be accuse of elitism and of being out of touch and we will move on to the next thing.
It reminds me of the recent conversations of the differences between how NFL fans and media speak about the NFL and how NBA fans and media speak on the NBA.
