Day Four: Trump reinstates global gag rule, Russian state TV praises Trump for omitting "democracy"
On the fourth day of Trump's reign, misinformation has been exchanged for no information. Sean spicer refuses to say what the national unemployment rate currently is. Spicer says that Trump is "not focused on statistics", but whether "people are doing better off". Sean is apparently unaware that "statistics" are how you determine whether "people are doing better off".
It turns out that Trump's version of "making healthcare better" is just Paul Ryan's medicaid block grant program. The EPA freezes vital grant program while instructing employees to keep their mouths shut about it. Continued leaks expose that Gen. Michael Flynn spoke to Russian enjoy several times on the day sanctions were set against Russia. And Putin-backed Russian television host praises Trump for avoiding the word "democracy" in his inaugural address.
