Trump Slams CNN Panels For Criticizing Him Before Claiming: ‘I Don’t Watch Them At All’

President Donald Trump claimed not to watch CNN during a truly amazing tirade this morning on Fox & Friends.

He said he doesn’t even like Fox 100 percent of the time, but at least they’re, ahem, fair and balanced.

“They’re tough. But at least it’s fair,” Trump said, while Brian Kilmeade nodded with great authority.

“When you look at some of the others, you look at CNN, they will have a council of seven people, and of the seven people, everyone is against me. I’m saying, where do they even find these people.”

Kilmeade cut into the president’s rant: “I’m not your doctor, Mr. President, but I would recommend you watch less of them.”

“I don’t watch them at all!” Trump exclaimed, though noted he tuned in to see “Leakin’ Lyin'” James Comey Wednesday night with Anderson Cooper.

“I would always watch, now frankly I don’t have time for two reasons: there is too much, and I don’t have time,” Trump explained.

“I don’t watch NBC anymore. They’re as bad as CNN,” he continued. “I made them a fortune you would think they treat me great but they treat me horribly and treat me falsely.” (Because that’s totally how the news works.)

“I don’t watch things. I can put it out of my mind,” Trump said. “I never ever thought that would be possible. You know what that does? It keeps you on the ball. It keeps you, you keep your sanity.”

“I will say this, Anderson Cooper was surprisingly tough and he did a good job,” Trump conceded.
