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.

Well at least they didn’t say he watches 8 hours of porn.
Sounds like a Christmas song in the making.
Agree... tried a diet coke in college once ( many years ago) got a terrible headache and thought I was going to vomit... horrid stuff. I never tried one again. If you’re going to support a sugar/caffeine addiction, you might as well drink the stuff with real sugar.
There was an NHL player some years ago who was rushed to the hospital after he collapsed during the pre-game warmups showing signs of a cardiac episode. He was OK, but the doctors told him he had to change one bad habit of his. One game days, he drank SEVENTEEN cups of coffee in the hours before the game. WTF?
If I wanted to read fake news from a Trump-hating source, I’d be browsing DU.
I quit RC Cola when I was a kid because I bought a bottle that had a cock roach in it.
I used to drink a two liter bottle of diet coke every day. Can’t do that anymore. I have a rule about my TV’s too... no one can turn the channel except me and the tech support. Yeah... I’m also the tech support in our house.
The artificial sweetener may be worse for you than the caffeine.
Large amounts of artificial sweetener can have a significantly negative impact on blood sugar.
FAKE NEWS=Porn
Ain't life grand!!!?
Who would have imaged years ago that the NYT would become a comic book?
I have my TV on 24/7. It’s white noise. I might watch maybe two hours every day.
... and I bet he doesn’t floss either. :)
The NY Slimes article referred to interviews with members of Congress as among its “insider” accounts. Of course, a member of Congress might not see more than once in 2 or 3 months and would not have any first-hand knowledge of daily life in the White House. This is just Democraps babble.
So CNN can now report that Trump is a Coke addict.
The problem is the artificial sweetener.
FYI, drinking that quantity of coffee can catch up with you, but it may not be until late middle age.
I prefer RC myself.
It isn’t that plentiful here in Columbia, SC. When I am up around the state line, I grab a few bottles.
Coke does me ok for the most part.
they all do it. it’s what’s now known as reporting.
Sometimes even they mess up as they cite someone who is citing someone else etc...
Wow, the guy's a psycho - grounds for the 25h amendment!
