Around 5:30 each morning, President Trump wakes and tunes into the television in the White House’s master bedroom. He flips to CNN for news, moves to “Fox & Friends” for comfort and messaging ideas, and sometimes watches MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” because, friends suspect, it fires him up for the day.

Energized, infuriated — often a gumbo of both — Mr. Trump grabs his iPhone. Sometimes he tweets while propped on his pillow, according to aides. Other times he tweets from the den next door, watching another television. Less frequently, he makes his way up the hall to the ornate Treaty Room, sometimes dressed for the day, sometimes still in night clothes, where he begins his official and unofficial calls.

As he ends his first year in office, Mr. Trump is redefining what it means to be president. He sees the highest office in the land much as he did the night of his stunning victory over Hillary Clinton — as a prize he must fight to protect every waking moment, and Twitter is his Excalibur. Despite all his bluster, he views himself less as a titan dominating the world stage than a maligned outsider engaged in a struggle to be taken seriously, according to interviews with 60 advisers, associates, friends and members of Congress.

I thought Glenn Thrush was in exile, due to sexual harassment complaints.

Well, I guess the New York Times had to bring him back to continue the important work of bashing our President.

He watches CNN for news - she starts out the article with a laugh, at least.

He is redefining what it means to be president! He is keeping his campaign promises and is working for what is best for the American citizens!

"As he ends his first year in office..."

Poor Glenn...doesn't even know the first year is up in the second half of *next* month.

Like the ridiculous "Tillerson is out!" article last month, the NY Times is once again running another article that has no basis in fact.

The NY Times has no access to Trump's inner circle. They have no clue about Trump's daily schedule.

The NY Times is just making this stuff up as they go, and the above quote shows that they aren't even clever about it.

COMPLETE AND UTTER BULL SHIT.

Nobody with this article's described frame of mind could get up each morning with President Trump's energy and positive outlook to tackle the abundance of the worlds problems like he does DAILY despite the negative press, the fraudulent investigations and the obstructionist democrats.

THESE WRITERS ARE FABLE TELLERS WITH EVIL IMAGINATIONS.

This is such a crock. I laughed at the other version of this thread (that got locked) - quoting the Menza genius Nancy Pelosi about Trump so unprepared and clueless - using the analogy “it’d be like you or me going into the room and doing brain surgery”. Well, at least now I know what happened to her.

But the quotes above - Trump propped up on his pillow doing tweets ‘...says aides’ - who in the world would know what Trump is doing in his private residence.

This is wrong from the start.

HOUR-BY-HOUR BATTLE FOR SELF-PRESERVATION

Project much NYT? Trump is doing just fine. How is your rag doing? What's the deep state score v. Trump running right now? 1000:0 or something. You guys haven't even made a mark yet.

Democrat party shills have a go at pop psychology. Predictable results.

This is Stephen Glass quality writing. (The well know fabulist) The articles Glass would write at The New Republic would contain details that would be unknown to anyone who was not present during the conversation or meeting being described. Only Glass did not name any sources. So how did Glass come to know such details? Turns out he made things up out of thin air, and his editors published his work because he was reinforcing the editor's pre-existing point of view.

This article claims it knows exactly what goes on in President Trump's bedroom. Well, only the President and First Lady know what goes on in their bedroom, and they sure didn't tell the New York Times about it.

I am accusing the New York Times of making up this story out of thin air.

Actually, his Twitter account is a laser pointer being waved vigorously, and Democrats are the cats.
