Trump watches up to eight hours of TV per day: report By Brandon Carter - 12/09/17


President Trump spends at least four hours a day watching television, according to a new report.

People close to Trump told The New York Times that Trump spends at least that much time in front of a TV each day, and sometimes spends as many as eight hours watching television.

The Times reports that Trump begins each day around 5:30 a.m. by turning on CNN before quickly flipping to Fox News's "Fox & Friends." He occasionally watches MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” because it works him up, Trump’s friends told the Times.
Trump’s favorite programs include "Fox & Friends" as well as Fox News primetime shows from Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Jeanine Pirro. Trump sometimes “hate-watches” CNN host Don Lemon, according to the report.

The Times also reports that the only people allowed to touch the remote control for the White House television are Trump and White House technical support staffers.
During his trip to Asia last month, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that he doesn’t watch much television (http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/359897-trump-i-dont-watch-much-television-primarily-because-of-documents) at the White House because he’s busy “reading documents.”
“Believe it or not, even when I’m in Washington or New York, I do not watch much television,” Trump said. "People that don’t know me, they like to say I watch television — people with fake sources. You know, fake reporters, fake sources.”
“But I don’t get to watch much television. Primarily because of documents. I’m reading documents. A lot,” Trump continued. “I actually read much more — I read you people much more than I watch television.”

Above report could be fakenews... 8 hrs a day seems unrealistic even for a very successful former reality TV star.

To be fair, there are no MSM reports claiming that he gets his news by listening like Trump had suggested Obama was getting his news. A sitting potus listening to private news of editors/owners of NYT/NBC, Congress memebers, Pelosi, Schumer etc would be in violation of the Constituion also.

He reads if you've been real or fake, so be real for goodness sake.

I wish they'd stop. There are other matters to investigate, and he doesn't need any help.

Ding ding you win the nets today. There's nothing wrong with watching television if you know what you're looking for.

It has to be fake news, because according to AJ, Trump is an avid listener of his 4-hour daily show, and the above article makes no mention of Infowars. Fake news, shame on the news that is fake.
