Trump’s new propaganda-esque press briefings…

justsomeantifas:

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and the administration have decided that the press briefing will now include the reading of Trump fan mail

It should go without saying that this is not the purpose of press briefings and when reporters tried to ask Huckabee Sanders about the new transgender military ban she refused to respond. Even threatening to end the briefing. Instead the press briefing was spent reading a 9 year old’s letter to Trump and responding to the child’s letter, which she then published for the public:

For those who can’t read it:

Dear President Trump,

My name is Dylan [redacted] but every body calls me Pickle. I’m 9 years old and you are my fovrit President. I like you so much I had a birthday about you. My cake was the shape of your hat. How old are you? How big is the White Hose? How much monny do you have? I don’t now why people don’t like you. You seme nice can we be friends. My pitcher is in here so if you see me you can say hi. 

Your friend Dylan.

Obviously many journalists and reporters were annoyed with this, one correspondent from New York Magazine explains:
