Trump just returned from a 12 day trip to Asia, and he immediately complained because he had to watch CNN instead of Fox News.
Trump tweeted:
While in the Philippines I was forced to watch @CNN, which I have not done in months, and again realized how bad, and FAKE, it is. Loser!

The President was mad at CNN because they didn’t show his propaganda like Fox News:
.@foxandfriends will be showing much of our successful trip to Asia, and the friendships & benefits that will endure for years to come!

Trump is the President Of The United States. He just completed what should have been a major foreign policy trip. (It wasn’t.) All he can talk about upon arriving back in the US is that he wasn’t able to watch his favorite TV channel while supposedly doing the most important job in the world.
The President is a toddler. CNN didn’t lavish praise him and boost his ego like Fox News does, so the whole trip was ruined for Trump.
America doesn’t have a president. They have an angry granddad whose day is ruined when he can’t find the TV remote in between the couch cushions. The only thing more humiliating than Trump being president is the President whining because he can’t watch Fox News while traveling.
