But the practice of sending Donald Trump positive news about himself twice a day, if true, would be quite a departure from past presidents.
[T] he 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.
The documents are exclusively composed of positive news coverage.
No, the best part is that VICE also reports that before he was sacked, Trump Chief of Staff Reince Priebus-and Press Secretary Sean Spicer, who's on his way out-both wanted the privilege of delivering the folder to Trump.
