Twice a day since the beginning of the Trump administration, a special folder is prepared for the president. The first document is prepared around 9:30 a.m. and the follow-up, around 4:30 p.m. Former Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and former Press Secretary Sean Spicer both wanted the privilege of delivering the 20-to-25-page packet to President Trump personally, White House sources say.

These sensitive papers, described to VICE News by three current and former White House officials, don’t contain top-secret intelligence or updates on legislative initiatives. Instead, the folders are filled with screenshots of positive 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.

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

Without even clicking the link, this has got to be WaPo. Right?

Not to mention his two scoops of ice cream.

We've never had a president like this.

Good. Find out what the people are happy with as well as what they aren't.

Vice is both incredibly biased and has more journalistic chops than every MSM source, Breitbart, Daily Caller, etc. combined.

what happened to the old WaPo lie that sauces said that Trump's intel PD breifings are with pictures as he draws with crayons?

this schtick is old POTUS Trump is an astute billionaire. POTUS Obama stuttered when his prompter broke.
