We’re just kidding — there’s no way the mainstream news media is going to report on any of the legislation that President Trump signed today; they’re too busy writing pieces about Trump’s “surreal” meeting with rapper Kanye West, who went on a “rant” and put on a “minstrel show.”
But the president did indeed sign some legislation today, some dealing with high prescription drug prices and others ordering a cleanup effort of the world’s oceans.

Maybe his predecessor didn’t come through on his promise to slow the rise of the oceans and heal the planet, but it looks like President Trump is actually doing something about it — and the praise from progressives is nowhere to be found. How will the media spin this news? Here are some suggestions:
I’m sure the propaganda ministry of the Democratic Party will report that this unilateral and deplorable action by @realDonaldTrump will kill millions of fish and disrupt a fragile eco system.

I'm waiting for the @AP think piece declaring this to be aggression towards plastics.@nytimes will have a breaking Sunday spread how Trump will be lining his pockets by bringing the refuse to recycling centers with the highest payouts
