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.

That’s you. Trump does not drink alcohol period. They cannot say that. They seek to trash him anyway they can.

It's strange that even when there is something in black and white, I don't even notice it.

I think I remember that the Wizard of Oz was the big news going from B&W to color.

Good one!

Eye witnesses, who have actually flown on Trump’s premier private plane, say he drinks regular coke. There is also a famous quote by Trump, “I have never seen a thin person drinking a Diet Coke.”

But we (apparently) need our Fake News fix—and where better to get it than the Trump-hating NYT.

That 8 hours of tv probably involve 8 hours of it playing in the background, with the occasional paying attention when something comes on.

I remember reading that LBJ had 4 TV’s tuned to ABC, CBS, NBC, and the local station. So, my guess is, that watching TV is not as unusual as the NYT wants us to believe.

“He drinks Diet Coke”
“He drinks two Diet Cokes”
“He drinks a a few Diet Cokes”
“He drinks like a six-pack of Diet Coke a week”
“He drinks like a six-pack of Diet Coke a day”
“He drinks a case of Diet Coke a day”

Hmm...if that’s true, how come we don’t hear of any DJT tweets that say,

“ERRRRRRRPPP!!!”

;^)
