Nearly three months into his presidency, and President Donald Trump appears to still sit alone in the morning with Twitter while watching the news.

He published a series of tweets Monday morning while watching cable news, praising “Fox and Friends” and criticizing other members of the media.

He also promoted a humor book titled “Reasons To Vote For Democrats,” which is filled with blank pages.

  2. I understand that reporting on Trump’s habits is newsworthy, but when is someone going to be brave and say “who cares” about his idiotic opinions? I’m more inclined to think this is just further evidence of his complete lack of qualifications for the job he now holds. He’s the racist grandpa who ruins every family dinner. Sadly, this “grandpa” is sitting in the highest office in the land. Heaven help us all.

  3. To me, Donnie’s Tweetstorms just indicate that yet another credible Donnie scandal is about to surface, reported by the fake (but accurate) media.

  4. Ah, Mr. Knowles has plagiarized a 1969 book titled “The Wit and Wisdom of Spiro T. Agnew,” page for page
