Media the enemy? Trump is sure an insatiable consumer
selective, well-vetted infor-
mation from every corner of
the world.”
Others note there may be
some smart politics behind
Trump’s media diet.
He “advertised getting
his news the same way his
supporters do, which helps
make a connection,” said
Tobe Berkovitz, a communi-
cations professor at Boston
University.
The president’s advisers
try to curb his cable consump-
tion during the workday. But
there are no limits when he
returns to the residence.
He also avidly watches his
own staff’s TV performances,
including White House Press
Secretary Sean Spicer’s daily
briefing. Aides have been
known to shape their public
comments to please the pres-
ident or try to influence him.
Trump’s
consumption
of cable news differs
considerably from previous
commanders in chief, who
PBS ABC NBC CBS FOX
have at least claimed to be
disconnected from the cable
chatter. Jay Carney, White
House press secretary under
Barack Obama, has claimed
that Obama “doesn’t watch
cable news,” though that did
not keep the former president
from criticizing the medium.
Where Trump differs
most from his presidential
predecessors is his reliance
on getting news online —
even though he rarely uses a
computer and prefers aides to
print articles for him to read.
What he was seeing on
Twitter and conservative
websites like the Drudge
Report and the conspira-
cy-laden Infowars helped
forge his political persona
— and his public misinfor-
mation campaign questioning
whether Obama was born in
the United States..
Often Trump sit with staff
and scrawl instructions — or
complaints to push back on
— on the pages.

just 11 minutes later tweeted,

On Tuesday, Trump

CNN
despite
deriding it as “fake
news.”
Though
he used to watch
“Morning Joe,” a
Trump aide said
the president has
grown frustrated
with his coverage
on the MSNBC
program and has
largely stopped.
For Trump, watching
cable is often an interactive
experience. More than dozen
times since his election,
he has tweeted about what
he saw on TV just minutes
before.
On Nov. 29, he posted
about instituting potentially
unconstitutional
penalties
for burning the American
flag 30 minutes after Fox
ran a segment on the subject.
On Jan. 24, he threatened
to “send in the Feds!” to
Chicago a short time after
watching a CNN segment on
PREMIUM
NEW YORK — Before
most people are out of bed,
Donald Trump is watching
cable news.
With Twitter app at
the ready, the man who
condemns the media as “the
enemy of the people” may be
the most voracious consumer
of news in modern presiden-
tial history.
Trump usually rises before
6 a.m. and first watches TV
in the residence before later
moving to a small dining room
in the West Wing. A short time
later, he’s given a stack of
newspapers — including The
New York Times, The Wall
Street Journal, The Financial
Times, The Washington Post
and, long his favorite, The
New York Post — as well
as pile of printed articles
from other sources including
conservative online outlets
like Breitbart News.
The TVs stay on all day.
The president often checks
in at lunch and again in the
evening, when he retires to
the residence, cellphone in
hand.
It is a central paradox of
the Trump pres-
idency.
Despite
his fervent media
criticism, Trump
is a faithful news-
paper reader who
enjoys
jousting
with
reporters,
an avid cable
TV news viewer
who
frequently Trump
live-tweets what
he’s watching, and a reader
of websites that have been
illuminated by his presiden-
tial spotlight, showcasing
the at-times conspiratorial
corners of the internet.
No recent president has
been so public about his
interest in his media coverage,
nor seemed so willing to
mobilize the powers of the
federal government based on
a media report that he has just
read, heard or watched.
In fact, the power of
Trump’s media diet is so
potent that White House
staffers have, to varying
degrees of success, tried to
limit his television watching
and control some of what he
reads.
The president’s cable TV
menu fluctuates. Fox News
is a constant, and he also
