Rename the White House press secretary position!

Should he be called the Trump Information Officer in honor of Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf, Iraqi Minister of Information?

Or the Minister of Truth because he pushes Newspeak and shoves factual documents down memory holes?

Maybe he is the re-incarnation of Joseph Goebbels should share the title of Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda

Wormtongue, after Gríma Wormtongue who was a minion of Saruman, and worked to weaken Théoden and his kingdom through lies and persuasion.

"Voice from the sky" after the ANT-20 "Maxim Gorky" propaganda aircraft, Joseph Stalin's propaganda plane which was equipped with a powerful radio set, printing and leaflet-dropping machinery, radio stations, photographic laboratory, film projector with sound for showing movies in flight, library, etc.

Secretariat for the Congress for Cultural Freedom, the CIA anti-communist advocacy group.

Squealer, from Animal Farm – A small, white, fat porker who serves as Napoleon's second-in-command and minister of propaganda.

Minister of Truth because the sense of doom and foreboding I get from reading 1984 matches exactly what I feel with this administration.
