Trumplandia: Trump Receiving Twice Daily Propaganda Of Media Praise, Positive Tweets & Royal Bows

It seems logical that an informed administration representing all Americans would want an informed overview of the great, the good, the bad and the downright ugly news and op ed pieces written about them. 

Not Trump!

Vice News reports that twice daily since Trump was inaugurated, a special folder is prepared for the president. The first document is presented as a feel-good acknowledgement of Trump's greatness at about 9:30 a.m. and the afternoon edition, around 4:30 p.m. Former Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and former Press Secretary Sean Spicer both sought the privilege of delivering the precious propaganda 20-to-25-page packet to President Trump personally, White House sources say.

The folders are crawling with screenshots of positive-only cable news chyrons (those lower-third headlines and crawls), admiring tweets, transcripts of fawning TV interviews, praise-filled news stories, and sometimes just pictures of Trump on TV looking powerful. The president's fragile ego is not exposed to any negativity, as if Trump is living in the Magic Kingdom. 

“If we had prepared such a digest for Obama, he would have roared with laughter,” said David Axelrod, the senior adviser to Barack Obama during his first two years in the White House. “His was a reality-based presidency.”

Trump is one sick puppy!

Trumplandia: Trump Berates & Disrespects Australia & Mexico Presidents In Leaked Phone Transcripts

We do not condone the leak to The Washington Post of Trump's calls to his Mexican and Australian counterparts. While Trump's egocentric me-me-me, disrespectful dialogue with our close allies is appalling, it's impossible for any government to function with his or her every word leaked to the press.

Having said that, the transcripts are disgusting to us and a reflection of an American president who has no diplomatic skills and no respect for our closest allies. He is a national embarrassment to about 70% of Americans, and his poll numbers are plummeting.

Trump can jet off for the second time in two weeks to West Virginia, where they love him.But working as closely with West Virginia progressives as HWN does, I can assure you that they are making major inroads into Trump's base.

When 'The Art of the Deal' was written, it was never taken seriously by the legitimate press as a business bible, rather than a fanboy book for Donald Trump. As a highest-level Fortune 100 exec who has negotiated with businesses all over the world, and holding one of the biggest brands in her design director hands, I NEVER, NEVER, NEVER treated my partners in other countries with the disrespect shown by Donald Trump. What a joke he is!!! Unfortunately, he is a joke that is doing very serious damage to the United States of America. Repairing it will take decades. ~ Anne

Trumplandia: Serious Legal Jeopardy Looms With Confirmation That Trump DID Plan Strategy For Handling Don Jr Meeting Reveal

Based on Tuesday's acknowledgement by White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, it seems that there's lot of truth in the Washington Post's new assertion that the president was deeply involved in writing the particulars of a statement about his son Donald Trump Jr's meeting with a Kremlin-connected lawyer  “primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children”.

Trump's involvement in planning the strategy on how to handle the media on the breaking story was vehemently denied on all five Sunday news shows, by one of his attorneys Jay Sekulow.

Misleading the public or the news media is not a crime, but advisers to Trump and his family told The Washington Post that they fear any factual information that suggests the president is seeking to hide information about interactions between his campaign and Russians almost inevitably will draw additional scrutiny from special counsel Robert Mueller III.

In spite of hiring an expanding roster of lawyers, Trump, is increasingly acting as his own lawyer, strategist and publicist, often disregarding the recommendations of the professionals he has hired, reports multiple sources to WaPo.

“He refuses to sit still,” the presidential adviser said. “He doesn’t think he’s in any legal jeopardy, so he really views this as a political problem he is going to solve by himself.” In his own eyes, he is innocent of any wrongdoing so his actions can't possibly boomerang against him. 

Trump has said that the Russia investigation is “the greatest witch hunt in political history,” calling it an elaborate hoax created by Democrats to explain why Clinton lost an election she should have won.
