The correct answer is The president uses mass media to gain support for policies.

Mass media communication, from press conferences to social networks, is the way in which the president communicates his/her decisions and expresses his/her reasons in order to gain support from the general public. Since in a democracy the president doesn't have an absolute power and political decisions are the object of political struggle between different parties and lobbyists, the president needs to convince several sectors of the society to carry out presidential policies.
