You Won't Believe How Much TV Trump Watches...DAILY

Would Donald Trump lie? Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"President Trump spends at least four hours a day watching television, according to a new report.

People close to Trump told The New York Times that Trump spends at least that much time in front of a TV each day, and sometimes spends as many as eight hours watching television.

The Times reports that Trump begins each day around 5:30 a.m. by turning on CNN before quickly flipping to Fox News's "Fox & Friends." He occasionally watches MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” because it works him up, Trump’s friends told the Times.”*

Someone who says "I read documents a lot." Doesn't read documents a lot.

I find it funny that, even tho the story came out Sunday, not only did he NOT respond until right after CNN aired it on Monday. But he also claimed in his denial (tweeted right after the CNN story) that he DOESNT watch CNN cuz its "fake news". Talk about weird timing, huh?

Sorry, but the captions on the TV don't count as, "documents."

I'm just imagining trump throwing a tantrum when Kelly turns off fox like my 4yr old does when I turn off Paw Patrol.

Kelly: Donald, time for dinner!

Trump: I'm not hungry, I'm watching Fox and Fwends!

Kelly: What did I tell you about television during dinner time. We eat as a family. Now get down stairs and eat with the cabinet!

Trump: I don't wanna!

Kelly: Donald, don't you embarrass me in front of guest. Do you want me to take off my belt!?

Trump: *throws himself on the floor. "I wanna watch fox and fwends, I wanna watch fox and fwends!!!

A real president should not have time to watch 8 minutes of TV.

[dr.hotpants]

The only documents Trump reviews in the morning are the McDonald’s happy meal prize instructions.

[TriggeringTrumptards]

The other 16 hours are spent yelling at it.

[avaswimsghosthunter]

Yea he doesn’t... He just watches 7 hours and 59 minutes a Day.

*I didn't even watch 8 hours when I was a kid!*

[Maria.Elenaa]

Why watch TV if he receives daily intelligent briefings? Also didn't he request for those to be in bullet points?

[herbbluntman]

He doesn't watch 4-8 hours of TV, he watches 4-8 hours of cable NEWS. He thinks that's how a President does his job.

[MrBibi]

*The only "document" Trumps reads is the tv guide!*

[shiverburn]

I’m 14 and in model un and I could probably run the country better than this lunatic but then again, WHO COULDN’T

[TheUhhoh]

"Did I get em daddy, did I get em!"

Please Cenk, spare us and *NEVER* say that again.

The White House should be renamed Donnie's Day Care Center.

Trump reminds me of lots of only-child males I've known in life. Although he's not an only child, he's very much like one. They only eat a few types of food and usually the same thing over and over again. They watch a lot of TV and are intellectually very lazy.

[Kenz]

He only watches 7 hours and 59 min guys come on

[JARomero]

For the world's sake, let's hope those 12 diet cokes and Big Macs do their work and cause a massive heart attack.

[archangelrivers]

If Donnie doesn't watch tv he would be coloring in coloring books with cranyons or markers.

[James-snyy]

This is only going to make republicans relate with him.
