WASHINGTON — Last summer, President Donald Trump publicly pinned much of the blame for his administration’s woes on its communications efforts.
The White House and his broader administration could do better at communicating his agenda in one unified voice, he conceded in a Fox News interview, giving himself a “C or a C plus” on messaging.
But Trump’s leaked remarks during an immigration meeting Thursday calling Africa a bunch of “shithole countries,” coupled with his contradictory tweets that same day about a House bill authorizing foreign surveillance on U.S. soil, underscored his administration’s continued struggle with public messaging nearly one year into his presidency.
n using Twitter as a main vehicle for communicating — often unsupervised and free from the protocol that typically goes into official statements — Trump frequently undermines his staffers, contradicts their public statements and sends heated tweets that often derail efforts to stay on message.
Trump defends his use of Twitter, saying that it offers him a chance to communicate directly with the American people in an open and honest way. But the president, who often takes his cues from cable news — he frequently tags Fox News to his tweets — or from the last adviser to brief him, has proven that in many cases, his views are flexible and subject to influence.

NBC = Nothing But Counterfeit
Don’t believe these Lying Leftist Media outlets that proved themselves during the 2016 campaign to be operatives of the DNC and intentional liars. They are presumed to be lying and we should presume what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the outlet providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying.
Why don’t we follow Trump’s lead here on FR? Let’s limit posting headlines from these wretched Lying Leftist outlets. If this story is true and has some redeeming value, at least get the story from a reasonably reliable source, not from a known Lying Leftist operative posing as a “news” organization.
We should be mostly publishing the truth on FR, not the lies, and as much good news as possible to bolster morale. We should find and post reasonably reliable sources that have already deconstructed the lie and replaced it with the truth and with a headline that says the truth. We need much more of that on FR IMO. The key is the headline and the first few sentences because not everyone has time to drill down. The endless stream of negative, lying headlines sabotages our purpose IMO.
It’s hard for politicians to be faced with the truth.
The media meltdown continues.
DITTO ... excellent post! Great response!
NBC is more Marxist than Leon Trotsky.
Trump is winning at everything. Some obstacle!
I understand him perfectly. It’s those living in the DC bubble that don’t. Including the Rino’s!
I am looking froward to the highly anticipated Fakes News awards later this week.
The media’s obsessive Trump bashing is the obstacle to his message. It proves his message scares the media.
Yup.
NBC is a shi+hole.
Poor little Vivian can’t keep up. It was so much easier for those less talented to keep up with Obama, because all she had to do was turn on CNN, NBC,ABC,CBS or read the Washington Post, NY Times and the Huffington Post, and she would have the Democrat talking points for the day.
NBC is Comcast
Who is this idiot?
“Trump defends his use of Twitter, saying that it offers him a chance to communicate directly with the American people in an open and honest way.”
Hmm... communicate directly? Note to self...join Twitter to support President Trump.
So how should someone react when their sworn enemies advise them to stop doing something? If NBC really wants President Trump to stop tweeting they should advise him to tweet more.
nbc is the enemy of Free Citizens here.
A muzzie without a hajib?
Trump is his own worst enemy and that’s just how it is. He’s not going to change.
