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.”

More fake news!
The president doesn’t use computers?
His 62+ million voters don’t use computers?
What an incredible pant load of fake news this bs faux article is.
Shame on DC for running this inane story.
Trump doesn’t have Chrome on his Android phone?
Agreed.
Kelly is a Deep State operative.
This is probably true.
Citizens of other countries who broke into our country deserve no accommodation.
They have been ripping us off for decades.
If we do not hold the line, the rule of law and the country will be lost.
No new laws to benefit those breaking them.
We did that in 1986 and what was supposed to be an amnesty for less than a million became 3.5 million.
Illegal aliens are now 10 times that number.
When they say 11 million, we know it is 30 million or more.
The 800,000 DACA will become 2 million plus and then it will be impossible to remove their parents (who trafficked them across the border), uncles, aunts, cousins, etc.
Utter BS. Even the jerk off Obama said,like a imbecile,”I found out in the news...”. The president gets briefed and is exposed to an enormous amount of updates,briefs,news and commentary. It’s hard to avoid. If one avoids it,he is not doing his job. If one is shielded from information by someone in the administration,he/she should be fired.
Another point I left out is: No citizenship. Ever.
1) that 800,000 number will become over 2 million.
2) they all speak Spanish
3) DACA allows them 3 misdemeanors
4) the rule of law is priceless
%) the “one time” fix was supposed to be the 1986 amnesty that has resulted in 10 times the number of illegal aliens.
Another will have a similar effect.
Not credible.
I wonder if he reads Free Republic?
People haven’t figured out Trump’s FR handle yet?
This whole thing about DACA is fake news. Just goto white house youtube page and watch Trump in his own words. Everything else has an agenda to box him in or to separate him and the base. Pure fake news.
This makes sense. They’ve put him in a corner.
Is President Trump social-network savvy? That’s like asking if a frog has a water-proof ***.
He’s (extended throat clearing) being denied access to news. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Next we will be told that—like a Chinese child emperor—his turds are being collected by his keepers in a golden bowl. As he says, “Fake, fake, fake.”
Now, back to “Speculation Wheel of Fortune”, more lefty-like cowbell and our new (and old) FRiends filled with passionate intensity and their Magic 8 ball palantirs ...
Mr. Trump: If you really want to Make America Great Again, DO NOT repeat the mistakes of the past.
The demonicRATs promised to pay Pres. Reagan on Tuesday for an Amnesty today. On Tuesday, they stabbed him in the back. They'll treat you exactly the same way.
Report: Kelly Is Blocking Negative Amnesty Coverage From Trump
...
Well, if it’s a report, then it must be true /s
You cannot win on the optics of sending 'children' back to a country where they may not even speak the language. It doesn't matter if you argue until you're blue in the face that these aren't children, but rather 20-30 somethings. All it takes is a good photo journalist to frame a few good shots (tearful separation, dead child, starving waifs) - staged or not (most likely staged) and it's all over except for the crying.
Knowing he can't win, Trump can sacrifice a pawn - or even knight - to achieve a few key objectives. The wall needs to be funded/built; tax reform needs to be done; and O-care has to be repealed.
Whether these objectives are accomplished with existing Congress, or the issues are used to bludgeon all incumbents leading up to Nov, 2018 doesn't really matter. What matters is fulfilling broad, strategic goals.
Thank God for Ann Coulter. Trump is following 45 people on Twitter and Ann Coulter is one of them. All the rest are Democrats, RINOS, NeoCons, CFR members, and globalist types. Everyday Trump is forced to read Ann’s tweets and she is the only one on his list with the voice of the American people.
HAHA, this explains it.
Trump would never betray his loyal MAGA supporters with an amnesty bill.
Kelly has him held hostage and has taken over his tweeter.
It was Kelly who tweeted sympathy to Dreams the other night, not Trump.
Kelly and that no good Paul Ryan.
At least Hannity is still loyal.
