A Journalist Just Uncovered The Source Of Trumps Angry Tweets From This Morning

>"The mystery of President Trump’s rambling and seemingly disconnected morning Twitter rants has finally been solved. Matthew Gertz, a senior fellow at Media Matters For America, decided to test out a theory this morning and discovered that the subjects of Trump’s Twitter storm matched up perfectly with this morning’s episode of FOX and Friends.

Which means the President of the United States is just live-tweeting FOX News shows almost every morning."<

Fox news running 24/7 in his office. This isn't new, just a president who actually believes their bullshit 100% is what is new.

stream Bizarro Fox and Friends to his tv? They could then yell and scream things in such a way that he agrees with them, but that are actually positive things. Or, conversely, they could send him totally off the rails so there is no alternative except to invoke the 25th amendment. I feel like he'd be really easy to fool.

Hey! DU was out of service for several weeks after last year's elections for a reason...

Isn't there a progressive minded group person out there smart enough to make FOX News a non-player?

I think they call it 'the real news' or something like that

It's two news readers who heap gratuitous praise for trump

It's pretty funny until you realize that's where we really are

Why do we pay good money to staff up dozens of top level government agencies to produce information, facts, data, reports, and any other knowledge that Trump want, when the Moron only listens to television personality, Steve Doocy on Fox News?

Like Fox News was controlling the remote to Trump's brain, we were hoping they said Trump has three testicals to see if he would retweet it.

Don't know if he stole that idea or I missed the reference to the article, but he noted this.

I wonder which comes first, though. Is it possible the W.H. sends Fox the talking points ahead of time? They used to do that, as you recall.
