Trump got his entire response to Nancy Pelosi on his racist tweets about Rep. Cummings (D-MD) from watching Fox and Friends.
Pelosi tweeted on Saturday:
.@RepCummings is a champion in the Congress and the country for civil rights and economic justice, a beloved leader in Baltimore, and deeply valued colleague. We all reject racist attacks against him and support his steadfast leadership. #ElijahCummingsIsAPatriot https://t.co/2LG8AuQrHh

Trump responded on Sunday morning:
Speaking of failing badly, has anyone seen what is happening to Nancy Pelosi’s district in San Francisco. It is not even recognizeable lately. Something must be done before it is too late. The Dems should stop wasting time on the Witch Hunt Hoax and start focusing on our Country!

….a look, the facts speak far louder than words! The Democrats always play the Race Card, when in fact they have done so little for our Nation’s great African American people. Now, lowest unemployment in U.S. history, and only getting better. Elijah Cummings has failed badly!

Matt Gertz pointed out that Trump got his response from Fox and Friends:
Fox & Friends addressed Pelosi's response to Trump's Cummings tweet at the top of the show, with Hegseth complaining that Dems will always call Trump racist but there's a "systemic culture of poverty" in his district.

The United States has a president whose mind is eroded or empty that he is a puppet who is having words put into his mouth by the television. Of all of the things that are wrong with Donald Trump, the fact that he can’t come up with his own thoughts, and has be directed on what to say by Fox News is the most troubling. The Sunday morning tweets are proof that Trump is getting all of his information from watching television.
The Fox News effect relating to how viewers who watch Fox News are less informed has been studied for more than a decade. America has its first Fox News effect president, as policy and government interactions are being dictated by fact-challenged Fox News.
