It's no secret that President Donald Trump is glued to his television. The commander-in-chief reportedly rises before 6 a.m. to turn on news programs, and then resumes watching shows after his presidential duties are done for the day. Trump is not a passive viewer, though; more than occasionally, what he hears sends his fingers flying to Twitter. To wit:

removing grants and sending in the "Feds". It's an abuse of power and he knows it.
