Referring to the media as "The Opposition Party", the White House has now banned key media outlets (CNN, New York Times, L.A. Times, Politico and others) from White House briefings. It's hard not to conclude that the ban is due to the these media reporting facts that the White House doesn't like reported.

Another nutcase, Hitler, wrote in Mein Kampf:

"“The receptivity of the great masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.”

According to the United Kingdom's History Learning site:

"Control of newspapers was put into the hands of Joseph Goebbels, the head of the Ministry of Popular Enlightenment and Propaganda. Goebbels set up a department within the ministry that dealt solely with newspapers. The newspapers had to spread the same message as everything else – Gleischaltung – the coordination of the whole of Nazi German society so that it acted and thought the same. Therefore people could only read the news as it was presented to them by the government."

The Hitler and Trump views/actions sure look the same to me.
