President Donald Trump on Monday railed against the media on Twitter not long after the New York Police Department confirmed that a pipe bomb detonated in the New York City subway.
Trump’s tweet pushing back on a the New York Times story about his television-viewing habits came after the White House confirmed he had been briefed on the explosion, but before Trump made any public comment about the incident.
The President claimed that the New York Times story was “false” and that he rarely watches CNN or MSNBC.
Another false story, this time in the Failing @nytimes, that I watch 4-8 hours of television a day – Wrong! Also, I seldom, if ever, watch CNN or MSNBC, both of which I consider Fake News. I never watch Don Lemon, who I once called the “dumbest man on television!” Bad Reporting.

The New York Times reported over the weekend that Trump begins his days by watching cable news and spends at least four hours each day, and sometimes as much as eight hours, watching the news on television.
The Times defended its reporting on Monday in response to Trump’s tweet.
We stand by our reporting, sourced from interviews with 60 advisers, associates, friends and members of Congress. https://t.co/Zj9pN2Hcv2

Watching TV and stuffing your face is all you do, Slacky McSlackerton. Now go mow that damn lawn like I told you to or you don’t get the car for a month.
So? Not as if Trump or his family ever uses Port Authority Bus Terminal. Or the subway.
Shovel that damn sidewalk
Our
President’sDotard’s priorities - demonstrated on twitter. Briefed about an attack on a major US city - his home town - and the twitter rage is on a day old NYT article that reveals how much of his day he wastes watching tv (which was already obvious based on following his twitter feed.)Shit, that doesn’t leave much time for the Cartoon Network does it?
