*The New York Times published a story that laid out some of Donald Trump’s television habits — including his obsession with watching late-night Fox News. He also “hate watches” Don Lemon on CNN, all in an effort to get riled up.
“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.”
But Trump quickly denounced the assertions on Twitter on Monday morning.
“Another false story, this time in the Failing @nytimes, that I watch 4-8 hours of television a day – Wrong!,” Trump wrote. “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 “dumbest man on television!” Bad Reporting.”
The story was bylined by reporters Maggie Habermas, Glenn Thrush, and Peter Baker, and was the product of “interviews with 60 advisers, associates, friends and members of Congress.”
White House reporters claim that after guests have left the WH for the evening, “the remote control comes back out.”
“He is less likely to tweet at this hour when the news he would react to is mostly recycled from hours earlier,” they wrote. “But he watches [Jeanine] Pirro and fellow Fox News hosts Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, and sometimes ‘hate-watches’ CNN to get worked up, especially Don Lemon.”
Lemon has been dubbed by Trump as the “dumbest person in broadcasting” after being quite critical of 45.
Back in September, Lemon told Wolf Blitzer that Trump needs “a history lesson” on race relations and that Trump used racist rhetoric. He also once compared the president’s behavior during a speech to a “child” then going on to call him “unhinged.”
