<\/p>\nTrump Lashes Out at NYT Over Story Detailing His Diet Coke Addiction, 4-Hour-a-Day TV Habits<\/b>
\n<\/p>\n
Donald Trump snapped back at a story in the New York Times on Monday morning, disputing some of its details in a furious tweet: \u201cAnother false story, this time in the Failing Another false story, this time in the Failing @nytimes<\/a>, that I watch 4-8 hours of television a day \u2013 Wrong! Also, I seldom, if ever, watch CNN or MSNBC, both of which I consider Fake News. I never watch Don Lemon, who I once called the \u201cdumbest man<\/a> on television!\u201d Bad Reporting.<\/p>\n \u2014 Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 11, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n From the scathing NYT story<\/a>:<\/p>\n Before taking office, Mr. Trump told top aides to think of each presidential day as an\u00a0episode in a television show<\/a>\u00a0in which he vanquishes rivals. People close to him estimate that Mr. Trump spends at least four hours a day, and sometimes as much as twice that, in front of a television, sometimes with the volume muted, marinating in the no-holds-barred wars of cable news and eager to fire back\u2026<\/p>\n \u2026The ammunition for his Twitter war is television. No one touches the remote control except Mr. Trump and the technical support staff \u2014 at least that\u2019s the rule. During meetings, the 60-inch screen mounted in the dining room may be muted, but Mr. Trump keeps an eye on scrolling headlines. What he misses he checks out later on what he calls<\/a> his \u201cSuper TiVo,\u201d a state-of-the-art system that records cable news.<\/p>\n Watching cable, he shares thoughts with anyone in the room, even the household staff he summons via a button for lunch or for one of the dozen Diet Cokes he consumes each day.<\/p>\n But he is leery of being seen as tube-glued \u2014 a perception that reinforces the criticism that he is not taking the job seriously.<\/p>\n The post Trump Lashes Out at NYT Over Story Detailing His Diet Coke Addiction, 4-Hour-a-Day TV Habits<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n@<\/s>nytimes<\/b><\/a>, that I watch 4-8 hours of television a day \u2013 Wrong!
