Donald Trump canceled his trip to Poland to prepare for Hurricane Dorian, but all Trump is doing is playing golf and tweeting about Fox News.
Before Trump went to his golf club for the day, he tweeted:
Has anyone noticed that the top shows on @foxnews and cable ratings are those that are Fair (or great) to your favorite President, me! Congratulations to @seanhannity for being the number one show on Cable Television!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 31, 2019

Trump’s constant battle in his own head over Fox News is hilarious. Trump alternates between taking credit for everything positive that happens for Fox, and worrying that Fox News is going to stop loving him. Trump became so disgruntled over an accurate Fox News poll that he even called for his supporters to find a new news network.
All of this is happening, while Trump is supposed to be preparing the response to Hurricane Dorian.
Apparently, Trump canceled his trip to Poland so that he could play golf, retweet Fox News, and watch TV. In other words, it is a normal day of neglect of his presidential duties for Donald Trump.
