White House Chief of Staff John Kelly has instituted a new White House policy to control how President Trump gets his news and internet provocateurs such as Chuck Johnson aren't happy.

"We in the alternative media won the election for Trump," Johnson told the Washington Examiner. "We will survive a failed general who was weak on borders."

According to Politico, Kelly has recruited Rob Porter, a staff secretary and Rhodes Scholar, to screen every white paper, memo, and news article headed to Trump's desk. And according to Axios, that means keeping Trump from reading press clips from controversial sites including Infowars and Johnson's GotNews.

"The people who share the truth with the president are those we are interested in helping," Johnson said. "Those who seek to control him have not learned the key lesson of the 2016 election: neither Trump nor the people will be controlled."

Kelly, no doubt, would respond that the policy is more about quality control than controlling the president. After all, some have taken advantage of the early Oval Office hysteria to slip mischievous documents into Trump's media diet.

While seasoned staff will applaud the move, it will be hard to enforce. For instance, one Johnson story that Kelly would likely censure was a story accusing former deputy chief of staff, Katie Walsh, of leaking. But as the New York Times reported, first lady Melania Trump shared that negative story with her husband.

"Is Kelly going to get in between Trump and the first lady?" Johnson asks.

Regardless of whether Johnson is a credible newsman or fake news, that's still a good question. Like the president, Trump's family doesn't take kindly to discipline. If Kelly can slow, let alone control, Trump's news stream, it will be an achievement.
