President Donald Trump speaks to the media during a meeting with Governor Ricardo Rossello of Puerto Rico in the Oval Office at the White House on December 06, 2017
U.S. President Donald Trump spends somewhere between four and eight hours watching TV every day, according to a report.
Trump wakes up every morning at 5:30 a.m. and routinely watches 3-4 hours a day before he begins to attend meetings, the New York Times reports. The president is also said to have a muted TV on in the background throughout the day. He will then tune in for a couple of hours before he calls it a night.
Trump will reportedly discuss the news reports with whoever is in the room, while downing one of the dozen Diet Cokes he drinks on a daily basis.
Trump was made aware of the pending Times article while on his recent tour in Asia.
"I do watch much television,” he told reporters in Vietnam. “I know they like to say — people that don’t know me — they like to say I don't watch television. People with fake sources — you know, fake reporters, fake sources. But I get to watch much television, primarily because of documents. I’m reading documents a lot.”
