Fox Business' Lou Dobbs visits the White House and declares it a magical utopia: 'There's sunshine beaming throughout the place'


Great news: President Trump's White House, it turns out, is an idyllic and extremely functional paradise full of sunshine, rainbows, and literally no problems whatsoever — at least, if we're to take Lou Dobbs' word for it.
The Fox Business host visited the White House and subsequently aired an absurdly glowing segment on his Thursday show that sure sounds like something written by Trump himself.
"The mood in that White House couldn't be more high energy," Dobbs declared. "...The joint is hopping. At every level, on every floor, this White House is energized. There's sunshine beaming throughout the place, and on almost every face."

Dobbs, who presumably surveyed every single White House employee on every floor in order to verify this totally objective analysis, went on to report that Trump is "at the top of his game" and his White House is "winning center." After this insanely laudatory segment that the president inevitably watched on his DVR, let's just say it wouldn't be surprising to see that list of potential next national security advisers expand by one.
