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!

Eric Bolling Suspended At Fox News With Claims That He Sent C#ck Shots To Fox Women

Fox News' Eric Bolling

Birds of a feather do flock together. Yet another white male is taking a tumble at Fox News for sexual harassment, with Fox's suspension of yet another Fox personality who acts like god, when the subject is women. To be reasonable here, 'The Specialist's' co-host Eric Bolling's c#ck photo was sent to multiple women colleagues at Fox News Channel and sister network Fox Business several years ago, not last week. 

The intended recipients and others in and out of Fox -- a total of 14 people -- confirmed the story, which broke on Friday, written by HuffPost's Yashar Ali. While an investigation is conducted, Bolling is suspended from his broadcasts. 

We've written before about Bolling, a former commodities trader, working at Fox News and Fox Business since 2007, arriving from CNBC. Ali writes that Bolling regularly made sexist comments on-air. He got our attention in September 2014 while discussing the first woman fighter pilot from the United Arab Emirates leading a bombing of the Islamic State. 

Bolling asked on air if instead of speaking of “boots on the ground” in a military sense, it would be more appropriate to say “boobs on the ground.” The crass host apologized the next day, saying that his wife gave him “a look” when he arrived home. Presumably, Bolling slept in the guest bedroom this weekend. 

In a note of irony, Eric Bolling engaged in a major Twitter war in 2014 with disgraced former Democratic congressman Anthony Weiner, himself involved in a major texting scandal.  “He is a sick human being, to continue to do this time and time again, continue to get caught, saying he’s not going to do it again, gets caught again," Bolling pontificated. 

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
