CHAMPAIGN, IL — Whether or not they follow President Donald Trump's consistent use of Twitter, students at The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have a new eight-week course option that will focus on Trump’s tweeting and ongoing battles with news organizations. According to The Daily Illini, the upper-level journalism course called, “Trumpaganda: The war on facts, press and democracy,” is scheduled to begin Monday, Oct. 22 at the College of Media.

The course is worth three credit hours for students of all majors and will be taught by Professor Mira Sotirovic.

The Daily Illini reported the course will prompt students to recognize the varying strategies and tactics the Trump administration employs to deal with the press, and how the usage of propaganda exists in a democracy, according to an email from Sotirovic.

The news report added the class will also discuss the impact of the president's social media use.

Despite so many positive events and victories, Media Reseach Center reports that 92% of stories on Donald Trump are negative on ABC, CBS and ABC. It is FAKE NEWS! Don’t worry, the Failing New York Times didn’t even put the Brett Kavanaugh victory on the Front Page yesterday-A17!
