Trump ‘DVRs basically all of cable news’ and watches it for ‘validation’ before bed

“People in Trump world say basically a lot of Fox,” Sherman explained. “But the other thing he does, from a source close to the White House told me that he does DVR basically all of the cable news.”

“It’s kind of remarkable when you think about it,” the columnist observed, “that someone would actually want to watch cable news on recording. Donald Trump, apparently he does. And when he goes back up to the residence at the end of the day, I’ve been told does spend a lot of time flipping through cable networks, including CNN, and catching up on the way that he’s been covered.”

“This is a man whose validation is cemented by how the media covers him. So he sort of obsessively monitors his media coverage.”

Sherman noted that Fox News was Trump’s “primary source of live information,” adding that the president also consumes “a heavy digest of Breitbart.”

I don't think I've ever watched f&f except for when somebody lampoons them or a clip is rebroadcast on a real news program.

....."Time passes. Jonathan (played by Jack Nicholson), by now extremely successful, is alone and suffers from impotence. A prostitute (Rita Moreno) is with him, manually stimulating Jonathan while reciting a monologue written by Jonathan praising his power and "perfection," apparently the only way he can now become aroused."
Sad!
