Who is Alex Bruesewitz?
Alex Bruesewitz, 27, is the CEO of the political think tank X Strategies.
He is a political consultant and strategist who works closely with Trump in advising his campaigns.
X Strategies, Bruesewitz’s company, works to deliver content, media planning and buying services for customers to aid “organic growth and authentic messaging,” according to their website.
He grew up in the “heartland of America” and developed a passion for politics – specifically for the Republican party and Donald Trump.
Bruesewitz has written a book called Winning the Social Media War: How Conservatives Can Fight Back, Reclaim the Narrative, and Turn the Tides Against the Left.
This is an outline on how conservatives can gain followers and consequently influence to inflict policy change both through politics and social media.
What does Alex Bruesewitz do as one of Trump’s advisors?
Bruesewitz is often labelled as one of the masterminds behind making Trump appealing to younger voters – a demographic the Republican has historically struggled to grasp.
He worked with Barron – Trump’s son – on how the tycoon could boost his popularity among young people.
In the run-up to the election, Trump had meetings with influencers like Adin Ross and Joe Rogan to reach younger demographics.
Bruesewitz has been described as a “fierce advocate” for the MAGA movement and the driving force against GOP politicians who tried to defeat Trump.
He advises members of Congress, the Senate, former White House political appointees as well as other influential conservative leaders on their public policy and political strategy needs.
According to X Strategies, Donald Trump said Alex Bruesewitz “is a young star”.
He added: “I don’t know where he’s going, but he’s going places.”
Donald Trump Jr also said: “Alex Bruesewitz is one of my father’s strongest and most loyal supporters.”
And Jim Banks, Senator-elect for Indiana, also gushed about Bruesewitz, saying: “When it comes to the new Republican Party and understanding that we are in a war against the radical Left to save this country, nobody understands that as well as Alex Bruesewitz.”
What happened to Alex Bruesewitz on stage at a Republican gala?
Alex Bruesewitz suddenly fainted while giving remarks at the New York Young Republicans event.
Addressing the crowd, he admitted he was starting to forget his words.
Bruesewitz then tried to carry on with his speech and uttered the words “sham impeachment” before he fainted.
Trump later called into the event and wished campaigner Bruesewitz well.
“I know that Alex is going to be fine because he’s a tough son of a gun,” the Republican said.
“There’s no doubt about that. So I want to say hello to Alex, because he’s a very special guy.”
Conservative influencers also said they’d spoken to Bruesewitz following the incident.
Jack Posobiec said Bruesewitz was checked out by medics and said all levels were normal.
“Only thing he asked me was, “Did it look cool?” Posobiec posted on X.
“He’ll be just fine.”
