Report: Kelly Is Blocking Negative Amnesty Coverage From Trump
Daily Caller ^ | 9/15/17 | ALEX PFEIFFER

Posted on 09/15/2017 8:38:02 AM PDT by Maceman

President Donald Trump’s embrace of amnesty is in part due to White House chief of staff John Kelly blocking negative coverage from the president, according to a Friday report from Axios.

Trump has reversed his stance from the campaign trail and asked Congress last week to “legalize” the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) amnesty program that protects roughly 800,000 illegal immigrants. The reaction has been negative from conservative commentators and news outlets.

Trump has paid attention to outlets like Breitbart and The Daily Caller in office, which have been highlighting Trump’s flip-flop, two sources who speak with the president told The Daily Caller. However, a recent report from The New York Times said that Kelly has started to take TheDC and Breitbart stories out of Trump’s pile of media reports.

This is part of Kelly’s new regime in which there is more control over the flow of information to Trump.

Axios’ Friday report noted: “Instead of being able to march into the Oval Office and hand Trump the latest Breitbart headline or printouts of tweets showing how badly his amnesty drive is playing with his fiercest nationalist supporters, aides opposing the decision would now have to go through the Kelly process, which would involve submitting an official, documented, request to meet with the president.”

Tucker is right. We are supposed to believe Nancy and Chuckie came running to the White House dinner because Trump said "no deal." And pay no attention to his garbage tweets yesterday.

He has two older sons that are very much on top of every single thing to do with Trump. I’m sure they fill in the blanks (if there are any) and keep him well informed.

Steve Bannon has no way to get through to Trump and explain the errors in his decision? Why do I have a hard time believing that?

Meant to post that in the other thread, but the sentiment still applies.

Perhaps Trump should get a Twitter account. He could use that to access a lot of news.

Good luck trying to keep DJT away from information. I’m not buying this isolation nonsense.

Exactly. But not a lot of conservatives use Twitter. I responded.

So when did Pres. Trump back amnesty for DACA?

DACA is a whole 'nother issue that didn't get much air time during the election...Trump never had too much to say about DACA even tho he was questioned on it a few times...

Trump has focused on the millions of 'illegal' aliens who are not connected to DACA...

DACA allows all relatives of these DACA recipients to move into the country...Parents, Grandparents, siblings, cousins, nieces and nephews; and of course when they are here legally, all of their relatives have a right to move in just as they did...In other words, anyone who has been born in Mexico will have the legal right to move here...Trump is fighting that thru the Supreme Court and so far has some success in limiting the population of Mexico from coming here...

Trump had the solution to illegal immigration clearly ingrained in his mind and communicated that solution to everyone many times during his campaign.

Now he just need to stick to what he said.

I guess Kelly is blocking this article as well?! Better get this story out in as many publications as possible, Kelly can't block them all. Funny stuff.

That’s why I predicated my remarks on getting the wall and other enhanced security measures in place because otherwise, it’s just a magnet for people to come.

The only thing being drained in Washington are Trump’s campaign promises.

Trump should read some of the responses to his own tweets.

That's part of the problem - he does.

The fact that these DACA people are such a small number compared to the U.S. population is what makes any discussion of this issue in Congress a clear case of misplaced priorities.

If those 800,000 only cost us a Thousand dollars a year that is $800 million and we know they cost much more than that.

You want to circle the ones we should keep in this photo?
