Trump tweets and the TV news stories behind them

President Donald Trump is poised to go down as both the most voracious tweeter and most passionate cable news consumer to ever reside in the White House. Since his stunning upset in November, Trump’s preoccupation with each has seemingly intensified.

Whether from Trump Tower, his resort at Mar-a-Lago, or the White House Trump has reportedly spent a significant amount of time glued to the television screen, often firing out a response in nearly real-time to his millions of followers on Twitter.

Below, a running tally of each instance since Election Day in which the president’s tweet appears to have been prompted by something he had just seen on Fox News, MSNBC, CNN or another channel.

"Fox & Friends Weekend" dedicated a segment to late night talk show hosts who had amped up their criticism of President Trump. "Late Night Hosts Take Hard Turn Left," read the accompanying banner for the segment, which included an interview with the Washington Examiner’s Philip Wegmann. "I think where a lot of these late night comics went wrong is they swapped liberal talking points out for their punchlines," Wegmann said. About an hour later, Trump tweeted a similar complaint that late night hosts are "Dealing with the Democrats for their very 'unfunny' & repetitive material, always anti-Trump!" "Should we get Equal Time?" he asked.

"Because then they're going to have to be four times as vigilant. We get the same process, Eli. 'Oh yeah, there was an explosion, we were watching these guys, we had them on the radar."

Just under 20 minutes later, President Trump tweeted his astonishment at the story. "Wow," he said, "looks like James Comey exonerated Hillary Clinton long before the investigation was over...and so much more. A rigged system!"

"Fox & Friends" (Fox News), 8:04 AM

Fox News contributor and Trump booster Laura Ingraham appeared on "Fox & Friends" just after the 8 a.m. hour. Co-host Brian Kilmeade asked Ingraham incredulously why there were so many federal agencies littered with vacant positions at a time when Texas was getting battered by Tropical Storm Harvey. "I think we can all look at these horrific pictures, and we can conclude that a federal government does need staff," Ingraham said. "We see it acutely in need of staff in a situation like this." About 20 minutes later, not long before he left for a trip to affected areas, Trump responded to the critique, even tagging Ingraham and "Fox & Friends" in his tweet. "We are not looking to fill all of those positions," he said. "Don't need many of them - reduce size of government." It was the second time Trump interacted with the show following one of Ingraham's appearances, having done something similar in March.

Beginning at 7:47 a.m., President Trump fired off three angry tweets directed at Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal, calling him a “phony” and a “con artist” for lying about serving in the Vietnam War. “He cried like a baby and begged for forgiveness like a child,” Trump said in the third and final tweet, which came just after 8:00 a.m. “Now he judges collusion?” Starting at 7:33 a.m., Blumenthal had appeared on CNN’s “New Day,” where he discussed a variety of matters, including the ongoing investigation into potential ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Shortly after the 9 a.m. hour, Fox News correspondent Catherine Herridge reported the following: “One of the things that may have been in the politics of this discussion is that when you look back on 2016, there really is an argument based on the testimony we heard yesterday that the objective of the Russians was really just to damage the system, so they collected and spread negative information not only about Hillary Clinton, but also about then-candidate Trump.” Roughly a half-hour later, Trump paraphrased Herridge -- and even tagged her in the tweet.

The following morning, Trump, a known user of TiVo, tagged Hannity in a tweet that called on Attorney General Jeff Sesssions to look into the matter. "More Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump campaign - 'quietly working to boost Clinton," Trump tweeted. "So where is the investigation A.G."

A few minutes after 9 a.m., CNN's Jeff Zeleny reported that President Trump had been tuning in to television coverage of the scandal surrounding his son, Donald Trump Jr. Moments later, on MSNBC, the Washington Post's Philip Rucker informed viewers that Trump has "been watching a lot of television news the last few days" to see coverage of his son. It isn't clear which channel the president was watching at that moment. What we do know, however, is that at 9:39 am, Trump took to Twitter to say that the White House is "functioning perfectly" and he actually has "very little time for watching T.V."

Shortly after 6 a.m., "Fox & Friends" told viewers about a "brand new bombshell report" in The Hill, which indicated that some of the memos former FBI Director James Comey recorded to document his conversations with President Trump contained "secret" or "confidential" information. The anchor explained that the report suggests Comey may have put "our national security at risk" when he shared one of the memos with a friend who in turn shared it with the New York Times. A little after 6:30, "Fox & Friends" tweeted out a clip of the segment under a caption saying that the report accused Comey of leaking "top secret information" to a friend. Both the tweet and on-air explanation mischaracterized the report, which never said that the document shared by Comey was classified. Trump retweeted the "Fox & Friends" tweet, and then at 6:40 fired off his own tweet: "James Comey leaked CLASSIFIED INFORMATION to the media. That is so illegal!"

"Fox & Friends" (Fox News), 8:07 AM

On the same morning that his daughter, Ivanka Trump, appeared on "Fox & Friends," President Trump rattled off a series of tweets that may have been prompted by the show. The tweets referenced a story that had run days before in the Washington Post, and which detailed how former President Obama and his administration had failed to thwart Russia's election interference. In the four tweets, which were written over a span of about 20 minutes, Trump accused Obama of collusion, and said that Obama did nothing about Russia's alleged meddling because he believed that Hillary Clinton would win the 2016 election. Less than an hour before Trump hit send on his final tweet, the co-hosts of "Fox & Friends” had discussed what they termed the Post’s “blockbuster story."

In three separate tweets on a Sunday morning, President Trump appeared to take cues from his favorite cable news program. At 6:25 a.m., "Fox & Friends" aired an interview with the psychologist James Mitchell, who responded to a terror attack in London by saying that the British government needs to "stop being politically correct.” Less than an hour later, Trump echoed that point in a tweet. At 7:31 a.m., Trump mocked comments that London Mayor Sadiq Khan had made responding to the attack. Ten minutes before Trump's tweet, a "Fox & Friends” co-host had asked a guest about the mayor's remarks. Later in the morning, Trump noted the absence of a "gun debate" following the London attack. "That's because they used knives and a truck!” he wrote. Shortly after 6 a.m., a "Fox & Friends” co-host had made nearly the same point verbatim.

The conservative author Michael Knowles appeared on “Fox & Friends” to promote his book, “Reasons to Vote for Democrats” -- a joke title; the book has 200 blank pages and very few words. Co-host Brian Kilmeade had a good laugh about it before inviting Knowles to praise Trump. “Do you think when it comes to foreign policy, the last eight years are being exposed right now?” Kilmeade asked. “It is unbelievable,” Knowles replied, “how within the first 100 days of this presidency, we have exposed the total failure of the last eight years of foreign policy.” Less than an hour later, Trump reciprocated through Twitter, paraphrasing Knowles and plugging the empty book.

"That information was disseminated, we’re told, through NSA channels. It’s unprecedented, I’m told, the way this was done.” A little under an hour later, Trump quoted Housley, nearly verbatim.
