President Trump Tells Reporters ‘I Don’t Get to Watch Much Television’

When President Trump spoke to reporters for a press gaggle on Air Force One, he ended up going on a tangent about his TV habits.

The comment apparently came in response to a question about Roy Moore. The President said he hasn’t seen much about the allegations against Moore, but then went on to talk about his TV habits and how “people with fake sources” say he likes to watch TV:

Trump (while asked about Roy Moore allegations) says he doesn't watch much TV. "They like to say I watch television—people w/ fake sources. You know, fake reporters, fake sources. But I don’t get to watch much television. Primarily because of documents. I’m reading documents." pic.twitter.com/URP765HjFq

President Trump, of course, has tweeted a lot in response to things being covered on Fox News––mostly Fox & Friends.

And this isn’t the first time this year the President has said something like this:

The W.H. is functioning perfectly, focused on HealthCare, Tax Cuts/Reform & many other things. I have very little time for watching T.V.
