Trump 'drinks TWELVE cans of Diet Coke daily, watches up to eight hours of news and tunes in to Morning Joe to get himself 'riled up'', insiders reveal
More than 60 insiders have opened up about how Donald Trump lives his life He watches CNN for news; Fox & Friends for comfort; Morning Joe to get angry He voraciously drinks Diet Coke, imbibing far more caffeine than is healthy And he views every day as a fight against the 'liberal media' Trump last month told Air Force One reporters that he was too busy 'reading documents' to watch TV and catch up on the Roy Moore scandals.
But according to the New York Times' sources, he spends his days mainlining TV news from dawn to dusk.
Trump wakes up each day at 5:30am after five-to-six hours of sleep and flips on the TV, usually with his phone to hand in case any tweets occur to him.
Sometimes he's in bed when he makes these posts, or in the adjoining snug. Occasionally he'll be in the Treaty Hall, where he sometimes makes his daily calls in his night attire.
Wherever Trump is in the White House, a TV will usually be on somewhere - and per Trump's rules, only he and technical support staff are allowed to touch them.
As a result the televisions are set up to provide a constant drip-feed of facts and opinion and - importantly, insiders say - headlines about himself.
Trump views his presidency as a day-to-day battle for legitimacy against liberal news channels, insiders said. The TV allows him to remain aware of the battleground.
He even tells staff to view each new day as a new 'episode' in a show about him defeating his opponents.

FAKE NEWS
This article is from the Daily Mail and refers to the NYT article. Sorry for the erroneous attribution.Mod please fix.
There was a guy like that in my office when I first started work. One day, he collapsed and was hauled off to the hospital. The doctors told him he had wrecked his liver with the Diet Coke, he had to stop drinking it.
Agree.
I’m not buying this.
Seems like another canary trap.
Who gets caught (and departs the WH) this time?
he needs to cut down on the poison if the article is true.
12 cans of Coke —> NAZI !!!!!!
Now we really got him......
Diet drinks are some of the worst things people can drink.
I’ve gagged every time I tried one. They all taste terrible to me.
“New York Times sources”. Fake news alert! True or not, this is NOT a reliable source.
No, a Diet Nazi.....

And they know this how?
Oh, it says insiders report. Not only insiders but sixty (60) insiders.
Well I guess if its 60 unnamed insiders, it must be true./s
Yeah right. If he watches them at all, it's to find out what #FakeNews is being spread about him at the moment.

Barrack HUSSEIN 0bama smoked crack and did coke every chance he got. Anyone report on THAT? Um...nope!
With all of the blacks being murdered in Democrat run cities, and this is what the Times thinks is important.
I know folks who drink that much coffee, and are doing fine. And the problem is?
How a rumor grows...
