Some online wondered what unedited commercials Trump could be watching.
Unedited commercials? https://t.co/Bv5ubAZTbB— joanna schroeder (@joanna schroeder) 1608137265.0

Any other President would recognize it's not the responsibility of a news network to prop up the President's ego.

It seems the love affair between Donald Trump and Fox News is now just a distant memory.
