The President caused “a bit of a stir” during a recent trip overseas when he exploded on staff for tuning First Lady Melania Trump’s TV to CNN instead of Fox News, The New York Times reported.

According to an email exchange obtained by the Times, Trump fumed at staff for “violating a rule” about the televisions, in the Times’ words, and demanded that Air Force One TVs be tuned to Fox News at the start of each trip.

In the email, exchanged between the White House communications shop and the military office, it was decided that it would become standard practice for TVs to be set to Fox, according to the Times.

Trump also reportedly asked staff for two more TVs for himself and Melania Trump to watch in their separate hotel rooms while traveling.

  1. So the TV situation on AF1 basically mimics every goddamned waiting room for any service you’re seeking in the entire country.

  2. Yeah, its amazing how many places have that shit on. I usually ask them to turn the channel, with mixed results

  3. Poor, miserable Melania. It’s bad enough she is owned by this ass but now she is forced to watch Fucks News. It is like A Clockwork Orange.

  4. When are we ever gonna wake up from this damned nightmare???

  5. What’s he worried about – Melanoma getting de-programmed? Melanoma hearing the truth about her disgusting hubby? Melanoma hearing about real polls and not Faux ones??

    Sheesh.
