Trump says he watches 7 hours of TV a day -- after saying he doesn't 'watch very much'



By Emily Singer -September 10, 2020 4:45 PM

Donald Trump once said he didn't have enough time to watch television.

Donald Trump on Thursday said he had watched more than seven hours of Fox News programming since Wednesday night, listing off the prime-time shows he tuned in to on the right-wing propaganda network.

"I watched Liz MacDonald — she's fantastic. I watched Fox Business. I watched Lou Dobbs last night, Sean Hannity last night, Tucker last night, Laura. I watched 'Fox & Friends' in the morning," Trump said at a news conference from the White House, referencing Fox's prime-time line-up as well as its three-hour-long morning show.

Trump's constant watching of Fox News — and repeating of its talking points — is well known.

He often tweets about things he sees on the cable network, and the network often parrots Trump's messaging.

He certainly is watching the pre Fox n Friends Show and he tweets about Joe and Mika. Gets into the office at 10 at the earliest. Granted he does his own hair and makeup but he probably has the TV on.

Up stairs. All alone. Making calls to Woodward. I wonder to who else.

They are lazy and selfish, have no moral character, and couldn’t give a shit about this country.

They must get some perverse satisfaction from causing so much misery. Otherwise why would they act this way?

Until we never hear of this traitorous, ignorant, demented POS and the rest of his POS spawn ever again. I can barely stomach even seeing the name any more.
