Trump team sends press a note about how much the press loves Trump

The White House staff blasted out an email Wednesday morning touting press figures’ praise of President Donald Trump’s opening act.

The email listed quotes from, Fox News’ Sean Hannity, the USA Today editorial board and various other outlets under the headline “Praise for President Trump’s Bold Action.”

Such emails are common during campaigns, but rare from the White House, as federal resources are rarely used so explicitly to promote praise of the president.

A typical line in the release: “Fox News’ Sean Hannity: ‘I Don't Think I've Ever Seen So Much Happen In Such A Short Period Of Time.’ (Fox News’ ‘Hannity,’ 1/24/17).”

Others were simply observations, such as a tweet the team flagged from ABC's Jonathan Karl. “Incredible pace of activity in the Trump White House on week one - when have we seen a public WH sked packed as yesterday's & today's?”

The email also a Wall Street Journal editorial saying Trump “is making short work of campaign promises,” a Detroit News headline saying Michigan could benefit from Trump’s infrastructure proposals and a Rasmussen poll saying 57 percent of likely voters approve of Trump’s performance.

Other polls have shown a less sunny view of Trump’s standing. Pre-inauguration polls showed Trump entering office with the lowest approval ratings ever for an incoming president.
