Donald Trump's Positive News 'Propaganda Document' - The Nuclear Issue

Probably leave the poll ratings out.
LOADINGERROR LOADING

On Tuesday details of the most Donald Trump thing in the Donald Trump White House emerged.

According to Vice News, twice a day the President is sent dossier stuffed with positive news about him, fawning tweets and pictures of him looking powerful.

The article reads:

One White House official said the only feedback the White House communications shop, which prepares the folder, has ever gotten in all these months is: “It needs to be more fucking positive.”

That’s why some in the White House ruefully refer to the packet as “the propaganda document.”

Inspired by this most thankless of tasks, HuffPost UK has scanned the day’s news (there’s quite a bit today) to find what would and what wouldn’t make the cut.

MADE THE CUT

There’s no bigger praise approval that from the big man himself (God, not Alex Jones).

DIDN’T MAKE THE CUT

It’s fair to assume CNN doesn’t grace the pages of the propaganda document very often.

Bill Mitchell is definitely a regular in there.

I'm excited about the #TrumpFuture. It would be awful to be a #Democrat right now. Bleak.

Liberals, if you want to see what a fascist looks like, get up from your computer, go into the bathroom and look in the mirror.

I wonder what it is like for trolls to go through every day so full of hatred and self-loathing?

I think we need to consider the possibility that the Trump White House is populated by morons. https://t.co/CgolnxUFif

Assuming he doesn’t read past the headline this is a shoo-in.

We’re at the “how to survive a nuclear attack" phase of the Trump presidency. Fantastic. https://t.co/q7inEfmVMn

With polls now worse than before
Trump thinks to even the score
"Grand jury? Indictment?
I'll show you excitement!
How 'bout a nuclear war?"

If Trump wants to destroy North Korea, he should buy it and turn it into one of his casinos.
