President Donald Trump

Trump not only watches lots and lots of cable TV, he also cares -- again, a lot -- what the major figures on the airwaves think about him. Hence the courtship and then dissolution with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. Or the ad hominem attack on CNN's Jim Acosta. Or a hundred other examples of squabbles Trump has started after watching what he took to be unfair coverage of him and his campaign.
