However, many Twitter users have expressed concern that the video has echoes of state propaganda, with some drawing comparisons to repressive and undemocratic regimes.

“Donald Trump creating his ‘real’ news channel, where he ignores all the negative press and just focuses on good news, is dangerous,” wrote one user.

“This will be equivalent to state run news… similar to communist/dictatorship regimes,” agreed Deborah McCabe.

Another Twitter user compared Lara Trump’s appearance in the ‘real news’ video to a speech delivered by Ri Chun-hee, a North Korean news anchor who has been previously dubbed "North Korea's propaganda queen".
