Donald Trump just issued a press release boasting about how great he is; internet begs to differ
So Donald Trump ordered his Press Secretary to draft up a totally pointless press release about how great he is and post it to the White House’s official webpage this morning.
“For immediate release,” the presser reads. “Praise For President Trump’s Bold Action.”

What follows is a bullet point list of a dozen or so tweets, quotes, and excerpts from various media outlets — including two from Fox News — that have said favorable things about Donald Trump since he took office less than a week ago.
The press release is meant to offer “alternative facts” to counter all the negative “fake news” that the mainstream media has been reporting about the Snowflake-in-Chief over the past five days.
The quotes include words like “incredible,” “phenomenal,” “a winner,” “positive,” “inspiring,” and “optimistic.”

Unfortunately for Team Trump, nobody’s falling for his latest exercise in self-aggrandizement.
