Whether it is dishonest is an opinion, not a fact.
So because we don't know if Trump actually believes it, it is not propaganda? I'm confused.
And how is the president not the state? Is he not the head of state?
Even if you think that all major news sources are pushing a political point of view, the difference here is that those news sources are not reporting on themselves. This is something that has been set up by someone to report on themselves, someone who just happens to have a very good reason to push a political point of view.

Wut? Ya you're confused. I'm saying there are people who disagree with your implication that the channel is dishonest. Trump being one example, but head over to Voat, or /r/Thedonald and you will find many more.

Are you messing with me? You're smart enough that you don't need me to explain that to you.

None of that is relevant to what I said. It is an explanation of why you have your opinion, but does not change it from opinion into fact.
And how is the president not the state? Is he not the head of state?
He still has all the privileges of a private citizen. He can do things as himself, rather than as President. Reelection campaigns, for example, are private undertakings.
Actually it's probably exactly like a campaign ad, legally speaking.
Trump != state.
Those are two very different things. I'll assume you know that though, and are just playing dumb for argumentative effect.
Whether it is propaganda or not, is opinion. Trump himself likely believes everything that is said on the show. To him it is a factual information service.
If we go by the dictionary definition, it is propaganda. In the same way that Fox, BBC, NPR, and all of your preferred 'news' sources are.
But the common usage of the word propaganda implies a level of dishonesty and/or manipulation. And I assume that is how you meant it.

An opinion I would mostly agree with, but it is false to claim that our opinions are either objective, or factual.
