[One commentator was saddened to read _Fire and Fury_](http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/43200-why-i-hate-michael-wolff-s-new-trump-book). That Trump had never heard of the Bill of Rights and got bored by the 4th Amendment wasn’t a surprise. But the book reminded him that Trump’s election is a sad consequence of today’s media-driven America. > [@CBS CEO Les Moonves in April 2016](#): > > [Donald Trump’s candidacy] may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS, that’s all I got to say. So what can I say? It’s – you know, the money’s rolling in, and this is fun. ---

In a 1997 interview with Howard Stern, he described escaping from his own wedding reception—his second, when he married Marla Maples—as quickly as possible to look at coverage of the wedding. “I ran back and turned on the television,” he said. (A diagnostic test called the Television Addiction Scale asks subjects to agree or disagree with several statements, including “When I am unable to watch television, I miss it so much that you could call it ‘withdrawal.’ ”) During his trip to Asia, he tweeted, “I was forced to watch @CNN, which I have not done in months, and again realized how bad, and FAKE, it is. Loser!” > [@](#): > > On a recent morning, a chyron on “Fox & Friends” read “STUDY: 90% RECENT TRUMP COVERAGE IS NEGATIVE.” The study—by the Media Research Center, a right-wing nonprofit whose declared “sole mission is to expose and neutralize the propaganda arm of the Left: the national news media”—came up several times during the broadcast, as did an F.B.I. agent’s anti-Trump text messages, a pair of offensive socks that Colin Kaepernick had worn once in 2016, and the fact that it was very cold outside. ---

I wonder if this will keep him from going to Davos to hang out with all those hated elitists. And then we get the State of the Union address. He should be in a really good mood by then. ---

There were just enough personnel left to change the outgoing message on the White House comment line to: > [@](#): > > Thank you for calling the White House. Unfortunately, we cannot answer your call today, because Congressional Democrats are holding government funding, including funding for our troops and other national security priorities, hostage to an unrelated immigration debate. Due to this obstruction, the government is shut down. In the meantime, you can leave a comment for the president at [Contact Us | The White House](http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact). We look forward to taking your calls as soon as the government reopens. Yeah, I’ve got a comment, you goddamned buffoon. ---
