Apparently sick of what he refers to as the 'Fake News' media, Donald Trump has set up as a 'real news' show to list his achievements as president.

The show, hosted on Facebook, is fronted by Mr Trump's daughter-in-law, Lara Trump.

As the rest of the media spoke about the recent turmoil in the White House, this programme attempted to draw attention to what the Trumps see as the president's achievements of the week.

The first segment shows his son Eric Trump's pregnant wife listing these achievements.

She begins this by saying: "I bet you haven't heard about all the accomplishments the president had this week because there's so much fake news out there".

In the video, which has over two million views, Mrs Trump said she is "proud" of the fact her father-in-law donated this quarter's salary to the Department of Education, after giving it to the Parks Department in the previous quarter.

She said: "This is a president who is putting America before himself".

She also pointed out that unemployment is at its lowest since 2001, saying it was an "incredible fact" and that the "economy is booming".

However, she did not put this in context as she did not point out unemployment has been falling every month for six years.

Praising the president, she pointed out his visits to "incredible veterans" and claimed that Mr Trump had created 800,000 jobs.

She also highlighted that he had visited a hospital treating wounded soldiers and helped to "crack down" on gangs by going to see officials from the Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Mrs Trump then ends the show by saying "Thanks for joining us everybody, I'm Lara Trump and that is the real news."

She made no mention of Scaramucci's rant...

 The video was posted after his strange and profane rant, but before he was fired.
