Who is the information gatekeeper for the US president?

 Based on something he saw on TV, 79-year-old President Trump believed that a sort of war was going on in Portland, Oregon.  So he felt the need to send in National Guard troops.  But then he got a call from Oregon's governor saying that there was no war and no need for troops...  

"I spoke to the governor, she was very nice," Trump said. "But I said, 'Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening? My people tell me different.' They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place...it looks like terrible."

So somebody showed Trump some video on TV that convinced him Portland was on the verge of collapse.  Who did that?  What was he shown?

 In another instance, Trump was convinced that all the glittery trimmings put up in the White House were actual 24 karat gold...

Trump declared on Truth Social: "Some of the highest quality 24 Karat Gold used in the Oval Office and Cabinet Room of the White House. Foreign Leaders, and everyone else, 'freak out' when they see the quality and beauty. Best Oval Office ever..."

 But is this actually pure gold?  Or is it store-bought wall bling?   It's fake crap that Trump likes so he thinks he's a king.  And he especially likes it because he's wrongly told it's pure gold.

Our president makes life-or-death decisions based on the information he receives and reviews.  If someone is manipulating the information getting to him, they can manipulate him.  We need to know who that is and why they are doing it.
