Chief Political Commentator at Sinclair Broadcast Group; Host, “The Bottom Line with Boris;” Former Special Assistant to President Donald Trump; Former Senior Advisor to Donald Trump’s 2016 Presidential Campaign; Trump 2020 Advisory Board
Boris Epshteyn is the Chief Political Commentator for Sinclair Broadcast Group, one of the largest and most diversified television broadcasting companies in the country. Boris hosts the “Bottom Line with Boris” programs across Sinclair’s platforms, providing insight into issues ranging from foreign policy and national security to tax reform and healthcare.
This presentation delves into the Trump, America First, approach to foreign policy. Combining his education from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service with first-hand knowledge of key tenets of the Trump foreign policy, Boris discusses fronts ranging from the Israeli – Palestinian Conflict to Iran, North Korea and beyond. This talk includes a breakdown of the Trump administration’s decision-making process when it comes to each specific international challenge that our country faces.
In this discussion, Boris uses his unique perspective as both an inside and outside observer to look back on the Trump presidency so far. He will touch on how the administration’s achievements have stacked up against campaign promises. Looking forward, Boris will discuss what the Trump White House and the Congress will concentrate on in the months and years to come. With tax reform in the rearview mirror, infrastructure, trade and immigration will be tackled next and in this presentation Boris analyzes the approach that should be taken on each front, what will qualify as a success, and how likely those successful outcomes will be.
The relationship between the media and Donald Trump is unprecedented. There is a mix of hostility and access. Having been Senior Adviser on the Trump Pence Campaign, Communications Director for the Trump Inaugural and Assistant Communications Director at the White House, Boris shares his experiences with the media’s approach to then candidate and now President Trump. Boris discusses the unusual combination of hostility and closeness that currently exists between the White House and those covering it and how that impacts the actual information Americans take in. The presentation will also look forward to examining whether it is possible for the President to get a fair shake in broadcast, print and online coverage.
