Trump arrived in the UK and promptly threw a fit, because he had to watch CNN, and couldn’t get Fox News.
Trump is mad because he can’t watch Fox News
Trump tweeted:
Just arrived in the United Kingdom. The only problem is that @CNN is the primary source of news available from the U.S. After watching it for a short while, I turned it off. All negative & so much Fake News, very bad for U.S. Big ratings drop. Why doesn’t owner @ATT do something?

I believe that if people stoped using or subscribing to @ATT, they would be forced to make big changes at @CNN, which is dying in the ratings anyway. It is so unfair with such bad, Fake News! Why wouldn’t they act. When the World watches @CNN, it gets a false picture of USA. Sad!

Trump is meeting with the US’s closest ally, and he is preoccupied with the fact that he can’t watch Fox and Friends and his pal Sean Hannity. How is the president going to know what to do if Fox News is not there to advise him through his television?
Trump gets his information from Fox News
Donald Trump doesn’t read. He prefers that his briefings be told to him, like a person who is ashamed to admit their illiteracy, but Trump isn’t illiterate. He is thoughtless and lazy. Trump gets his information from the personalities on Fox.
The Commander In Chief is representing our nation overseas by ranting about CNN on Twitter.
Trump also managed to call for a boycott of a major global news organization because he doesn’t like their coverage.
Trump proved London Mayor Sadiq Khan correct. A fascist has invaded the UK, and he deserves a boot over the border, not the red carpet.
