Trump complained he's reading fewer articles from right-wing sites: report

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.

1. "Trump ... continuously watching Fox News"

I'm sure Fox tailors it's newscasts knowing Trump is watching.
They are speaking directly to the President.

2. That's how he stayed abreast of all the Breitbart nonsense?

People printed out paper copies of articles for him to read?


It's unbelievable that this man is POTUS. It certainly couldn't have happened without a circle of people around him propelling him toward it, and yet every account we get of him is that he is a miserable person to work with or for. Why do they do it? Eventually, he will turn on almost every person that put him there.

3. DU

Just once I'd love it if Kelly forced him to read a day's worth of posts from DU.

4. This reminds me of the Game of Thrones scene

where Joffrey was sent to bed without his supper. General Kelly as Tywin.

5. Who will resign first, Tillerson or Kelly?

6. Trump does not have an Internet browser on his phone and doesnt use a computer,

Wow. Just wow. Maybe his fingers are too small? Maybe his brain?

7. Who introduced him to Twitter? And which circle of hell do they end up in for that?

If anyone knows what app he uses for Twitter, a judicious hack could do the world a power of good, by changing how he sees it.
