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, are not 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 fucking positive.” That’s why some in the White House ruefully refer to the packet as “the Propaganda Document.”

Contacted by VICE News, Spicer disputed the nature of the folder. “While I won’t comment on materials we share with the president, this is not accurate on several levels,” he said in an email. Asked what about the story was inaccurate, Spicer did not respond.

[thekonamicode]

He's so fragile it's pathetic.

 

[Muppet of a Man]

The most delicate of snowflakes.

 

[jiiikoo]

Lol.

 

[mclem]

Binders full of winning.

and sometimes just pictures of Trump on TV looking powerful.

Wow.

 

[Bronx-Man]

I think he needs a safe space.

 

[Viewt]

Yeesh, that's so fucking pathetic.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

God damn his ego is something else.

What a snowflake.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Soft ass fuck

 

[Buckle]

This is so sad.

He's a grown ass man.

 

[Ashhong]

This is on some Kim Jong Un levels of crazy

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

We had binders full of women

Now we have folders full of positives

 

[PandaShake]

Oh god the second hand embarrassment.

 

[jiiikoo]

Wow.

Must not show his hands then...

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Imagine making that folder twice a day, IMAGINE that being your job and your only job for the next few years...........................

 

[Bluenoser]

20- to 25-page packet

What the hell? He would never read through all of that.

 

[SomTervo]

Teetering on the edge of a full-blown authoritarian black hole.

 

[adj_noun]

Imagine making that folder twice a day, IMAGINE that being your job and your only job for the next few years...........................

I wonder if you could just use the same folder every time. Just shuffle things around a bit. Update the headlines every six months or so.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

It's as if Eric Cartman won the presidency.

Actually thinking back on it, he should d have been the one used instead of Garrison.

 

[Buckle]

Imagine making that folder twice a day, IMAGINE that being your job and your only job for the next few years...........................

Atleast they'll be qualified to run a childrens daycare center after this is all over.

Thats something.

 

[Massicot]

This is quite a funny The Onion story!

 

[Slayven]

Yeesh, that's so fucking pathetic.

It goes beyond that, So much so that we need a new word or phrase for it.

On the other hand that makes me respect Obama and Bush more. 8 years of people calling them everything but a child of god and they seemed to come out of it stronger for it.

 

[GhaleonEB]

"Praise me! Praise me with great praise!"

 

[WedgeX]

Hans Christen Anderson could not have foreseen just how mild the "emperor with no clothes" would appear to Americans of the early 21st century.

 

[Fury451]

sometimes just pictures of Trump on TV looking powerful.

 

[Zackat]

jesus tapdancing christ

 

[KHarvey16]

The longer this goes on the more sense everything starts to make.

 

[Foffy]

Orange con man needs to literally be conned into happiness.

LOL

 

[neorej]

What the hell? He would never read through all of that.

Of course he would. With some tissue and lubricant.

 

[dkeane]

What the hell? He would never read through all of that.

It's mostly pictures.

 

[GK86]

Pretty soon the one folder will become many folders:

 

[freethoughtbubble]

Not an ounce of self awareness on this guy. I think I'd become clinically depressed if I even entertained the thought of asking for one of these.

 

[Saganator]

Countdown to VICE receiving a subpoena to reveal their source.

 

[Squire]

I think he needs a safe space.

Like a federal prison cell?

 

[rrc1594]

This can't be real, this can't be life!

 

[Luminaire]

What a fragile fat little bitch.

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

i don't even know anymore...

 

[Sciz]

This is the only administration I've ever heard of that generates propaganda to distract its own leader.

 

[Yudoken]

Any news about his impeachment and prison sentences yet?

I get tired anytime reading anything about this buffoon and his fellow republican criminals

Drumpf should've go to prison decades ago for what he did in the past.

Without being hyperbolic at all, this is the most pathetic thing I've heard in my entire life.

We'll, he did much more pathetic things so this is quite normal for him.

 

[FullMetaltech]

Asked what about the story was inaccurate, Spicer did not respond.

I miss him already.

 

[Sojgat]

Without being hyperbolic at all, this is the most pathetic thing I've heard in my entire life.

 

[zashga]

This would be adorable if he wasn't so repulsive.

 

[mackattk]

TWICE A DAY

 

[Kaako]

Holy shit ahahaha, of course he does.

 

[jiiikoo]

TWICE A DAY

Three scoops, two binders!

 

[Seductivpancakes]

Lord of the snowflakes.

 

[Kinyou]

But of a contrast to Obama who read 10 letters from random people every day.

I'll take a wild guess and assume Trump doesn't do that.
