Trump Gets Stroked Twice a Day





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.

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

When you take a madman and do this anything becomes possible. Trump is so easily manipulated that he could drop a nuclear bomb on an ally thinking that doing so is what will make the American people love him.

This is unbelievably dangerous stuff.

is it that he is so insecure that he has to have a twice daily fix? Is Trump an addict?
