Trump is acting like a deranged Fox News viewer instead of a president as he is ranting on Twitter that his pal Jeanine Pirro must be put back on the air.
Amid a tweet barrage, Trump lost it because one of his favorite shows wasn’t on Fox:
Bring back @JudgeJeanine Pirro. The Radical Left Democrats, working closely with their beloved partner, the Fake News Media, is using every trick in the book to SILENCE a majority of our Country. They have all out campaigns against @FoxNews hosts who are doing too well. Fox …..

Time is the most precious resource that any president has, and Trump is spending his watching TV and tweeting. The man sitting in the Oval Office would rather watch TV than uphold his sworn oath as President Of The United States.
