Mediaboss Marketing

President Trump is keeping the media in the dark once again but this time its a tradition.

Trump told a gathering of White House senior staffers on Sunday that he found the letter former President Barack Obama left for him in the Oval Office a tradition among presidents on their final day in office but, as did his predecessor, he wont divulge its contents.

It was really very nice of him to do that and we will cherish that. We will keep that and we wont even tell the press whats in that letter, said Trump, whos had a contentious relationship with reporters since he announced his candidacy in June 2015.

He has routinely referred to the media as dishonest, suggested moving the press corps out of the White House, blamed news outlets of reporting fake news about him and refused to answer questions from some reporters at news conferences.

The National Archives and Records Administration doesnt typically release the letters between presidents but just last week released the missive President George W. Bush left for Obama eight years ago.

During the East Room ceremony, Trump told the staffers that we must devote ourselves to the national good.

This is not about ideology. Its about our country, said Trump, who was accompanied by Vice President Mike Pence and many of his top advisers including Steve Bannon, son-in-law Jared Kushner and former Apprentice star Omarosa.

Talking about his upcoming meetings with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Enrique Pea Nieto, Trump said they will start working on NAFTA.

Were going to start renegotiating, having to do with NAFTA, Trump said. Anybody ever heard of NAFTA? Were going to start renegotiating on NAFTA, on immigration and on security at the border.

Eight years ago, President George W. Bush also left a note for Obama.

There will be trying moments. The critics will rage. Your friends will disappoint you. But, you will have an Almighty God comfort you, a family who loves you, and a country that is pulling for you, including me, Bush wrote. No matter what comes, you will be inspired by the character and compassion of the people you will lead.
