If Chief of Staff John Kelly has his way,Esther Studer the president will likely see far few stories from InfoWars, along with other controversial news articles, coming across his desk.
Politicofirst reported that Chief of Staff John Kelly is putting a new system into place to ensure that he's the one giving approval on anything that hits President Donald Trump's desk. The report states that a number of things will be subject to his approval, from policy memos to agency reports. And yes, news articles, too.
SEE ALSO: Trump apparently gets a folder of positive news twice dailyThis reportedly includes cutting down on internet firebrand Alex Jones' InfoWars, according to Axios. Jones is known for peddling insane stories, from questions of whether Michelle Obama is a man, to why white people deserve reparations (yes. really, that's a real story).
As Politico notes, this is isn't a new thing in the White House, but it's a method that's basically been skirted since Trump took office.
"It’s a quiet effort to make Trump conform to White House decision-making norms he’s flouted without making him feel shackled or out of the loop," Politicowrote.
The point of Kelly's new system, Politico states, is to "ensure competing views are completely and straightforwardly presented to the president."
Sure, you might say this is a good thing. After all, why does the president of the United States need to read a conspiracy theory website? Maybe this will curb his tempered tweets. We hear you.
But it's deeper than that.
John Kelly's new system is indicative of Trump's worldview being filtered by his staff, and this isn't the first example of it.
We already know his staff reportedly delivers him folders full of positive news stories twice a day, which actually started during the campaign, according to Politico.
According to former campaign staffers, it was the key to curbing his tweeting.
Additionally, his staff boils down briefings to bullet points, and the National Security Council reportedly includes his name in their memos as often as they can so that he keeps reading.
Which again, leads us to ask ... why is this happening?
It's no secret that Trump has a rocky relationship with the press, and he appears to tweet impulsively — especially when controversial news stories come out.
Will this new mandate mean fewer Donald Trump tweet storms? Only time will tell.
