Current Events > Trump is angry that he is reading fewer news articles from right wing websites.

(+) Yeah! (+)

White House chief of staff John Kelly has severely cut down on the number of news articles President Trump receives from conservative-leaning and right-wing news organizations, according to a new report.

The New York Times reported Friday that Kelly has restricted what information ends up in Trump’s daily digest of articles. Because Trump does not have an Internet browser on his phone and doesn’t use a computer, he relies on hard copies of news articles.

But after a few weeks of Kelly in the chief of staff role, Trump reportedly complained to a friend about the lack of articles from right-wing websites like Breitbart and The Daily Caller, according to The Times.
Kelly, however, hasn’t been able to stop Trump from continuously watching Fox News. White House aides told The Times that Fox News is Trump’s main source of information.

Soon after Kelly took the chief of staff job, reports indicated that he was vetting everything Trump sees before it gets to him, as well as restricting visits with Trump in the Oval Office.

But Trump has reportedly been growing frustrated with Kelly for implementing those tighter restrictions.

"He’s having a very hard time,” a friend of Trump’s told The Washington Post. “He doesn’t like the way the media’s handling him. He doesn’t like how Kelly’s handling him. He’s turning on people that are very close to him.”

Trump appeared to deny those reports by tweeting support for Kelly on Friday.

"General John Kelly is doing a great job as Chief of Staff," he tweeted. "I could not be happier or more impressed — and this administration continues to get things done at a record clip. Many big decisions to be made over the coming days and weeks. AMERICA FIRST!"

Figuratively "sent to the corner" by Kelly.

From my view, I think Kelly is going a great job so far. Him and Mattis. Outside of them, screw the rest. (Well, I guess Nicki Haley is decent too)

But as Doom said, Kelly is seriously a babysitter. Making sure Trump doesn't get into the cookie jar.

Never thought I would see the day our President needs a nanny...

What? How is that possible when he tweets all the time?

I was questioning that in my mind too. Like, I am sure it is the app, but seriously.... no internet browser at all?

Twitter has an app, last I checked.

I just don't know why Kelly would sign onto a role like this under these conditions. It doesn't seem to me that he's going to last very long as chief of staff if Trump is already complaining.

The white house babysitters probably put child protection locks on his phone. Wonder if they change his diapers too.

Goof Off is a good class for you. That made me laugh. +1

And I mean, it seems perfectly in-character for Trump to view the internet as some "fake news hivemind" or something. Possibly even moreso to view it as some brainless conspiracy like a portal for the net goblins to enter and steal your brain. He's not exactly the brightest light bulb in the box.

LMAO, of course he is, they're the ones who suck his dick daily.

Seems like John Kelly is the real one in charge of the nation at the moment.

Maybe Trump will resign out of frustration. Being the president is hard work, not nearly as much fun as he probably thought it would be.

No one knew [insert literally anything politically controversial] could be so hard.

Yeah, my guess is that they've removed it (to avoid targeted viruses and the like).

Melania: Well, at least 'something' continues to remain hard.

Imagine if Twitter pulled their app.

But you are right. There's no doubting that Trump would be skimming X3 sites.

I'd be angry too that someone would be trying to divert the president towards fake news.

So everything that isn't right wing is fake news?
