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.

I never saw this reported as anything but amusing trivia:

Take the case of Hugh Hefner, now 87 years old.
The Bunny Master drinks up to 30 decaffeinated cans of Diet Pepsi a day.
His favorite drink is Jack Daniels and Pepsi.
He used to take his Pepsi caffeinated.
According to Hef’s Little Black Book, 2001 … “He [Hefner] is a Pepsi Man. Actually, he is a Pepsi Generation unto himself. Famously, through the sixties, he was photographed swigging from Pepsi bottles; butlers in his homes were always instructed to provide a new bottle if they saw one half empty. Or if he was seen without a Pepsi in his hand they were to immediately fill that hand with a Pepsi bottle. He would drain three dozen bottles a day, caffeinating himself royally. In 1962, it was reported that his annual Pepsi consumption equaled that of a small African country.”

I have my TV on 24/7. It’s white noise. I might watch maybe two hours every day.

I am sorry but I am going to have to report this.

I wonder why they never mention that Trump does not drink alcohol. So, I guess in their minds it would be better having a sot at the helm. I also wonder why they never mention there has been no allegation about any use of illegal drugs or even pot by Trump. Of course the prior president, and clown prince, was well regarded albeit he was well known to have used cocaine/marijuana...self admitted.

...

Who to believe, Trump, or NYTimes “sources?”

You know what? You are probably right.
It most likely is something made up or exaggerated.
Sure is getting tiresome having to dissect, analyze, filter and unspin every big news story that I hear.
It’s like getting my news from Pravda or Aljazeera.

Hopefully, things will not stay this way much longer.
A couple of robust lawsuits for libel or slander should straighten them out.

TV was something new when I was a kid. We waited for mom to fall asleep so we could turn the channel.

Not only did she have eyes in the back of her head but ears like superman.

We searched and searched for a piece of Krypton.

When The Times reached out to him with a list of questions about its article, including one about his TV habits, Trump didn’t respond directly. He told reporters from other outlets last month that he didn’t have time to watch television because he was too busy reading “documents.”

“I do not watch much television,” Trump said. “I know they like to say — people that don’t know me — they like to say I watch television. People with fake sources — you know, fake reporters, fake sources. But I don’t get to watch much television, primarily because of documents. I’m reading documents a lot.”

He said as much in July, amid reports that the White House was in disarray as special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation was heating up.

“The W.H. is functioning perfectly, focused on HealthCare, Tax Cuts/Reform & many other things,” Trump tweeted at the time. “I have very little time for watching T.V.”

Drinking 12 cokes and opening 12 cokes and leaving them
sitting around unfinished is two separate things.

Trump strikes me as a Dr. Pepper man.
No way to Pepsi.
Coka-Cola, only in a sexy glass bottle, Mexican style.
