Uh, comparing some guy on the internet (moi) to a news org that influences the President. Seriously?

by the way, it's still not right. The article says 4-8 hours daily. That's a big difference. And you don't have to guess at what he watches -- the article tells you.


Nit pick much? Good grief.

Nope, can't believe it...but I can believe that you post anything without reading it or questioning it, as long as reinforces whatever pinhead explicate you want spew out that day.

How about proving your claim, because simply expecting us to take your word for "white house aides" ain't gonna cut it genius.
How about some substance with your style on occasion, because that would be "unbelievable".

Hey idiot, Trump has already let us know how much he watches FOX. He watches it every day RELIGIOUSLY. You can quibble over the exact amount of time if you want, but there is no doubt he has an unhealthy infatuation with that fake news outlet. The main concern if over the fact that the world's most powerful man spends that much time on it instead of doing actual work.

This is what the article actually says.

White House aides tell The New York Times that Trump watches at least 4 hours, and sometimes up to twice that much, per day — part of what the publication describes as “an hour-by-hour battle for self-preservation.”

“Around 5:30 each morning, President Trump wakes and tunes into the television in the White House’s master bedroom,” the Times reports. “He flips to CNN for news, moves to ‘Fox & Friends’ for comfort and messaging ideas, and sometimes watches MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ because, friends suspect, it fires him up for the day.”

Yeah, Kevin, CFR on Trump doing anything in a religious manner.

Basically, yes, because it is credible in itself, as well as being consistent with other evidence of Trump's behaviour from multiple accounts since he took office. It is obvious that a major motivator of his tweets is whatever he sees on Fox News; correspondents on Air Force one have remarked that Fox was running continuously while he talked to them. And so on.

And frankly, I think it is reasonable to conclude that those who want to claim that a man like Trump is likely to be reading lots of documents during his day are those who bear the burden of proof. If he had been that kind of man, his base would have been much, much less enthusiastic about electing him.
