The Trump administration PR machine is doing its best to point out positive items the administration believes it is accomplishing.
After Press Secretary Sean Spicer, on Monday, called the negative news about Trump "demoralizing" (2:00 mark), the administration put out 'positive' reinforcement by highlighting media coverage they say 'praises' Trump's actions his first week as president of the United States.
Spicer said it was "frustrating" to turn on the news to see "... a constant attempt to undermine [Trump's] credibility and the movement that he represents."
On Tuesday the administration, with facts to support their claims, provided a running list of news articles that show America's support. A White House email, leading with an article by The Atlantic titled, Praise For President Trump's Bold Action: The President Is “Coming Out As A Winner On Many Issues, provided a running list of articles that show the 'positive press' the administration is seeking.
Media supporting Trump's eagerness to get things done.
