Trump bemoaning lack of Fox News in UK

“Donald Trump clearly thinks the UK would be a better place if we were able to watch Fox News. But, as the Guardian reported at the time, 21st Century Fox took it off air in the UK in 2017 because it was no longer commercially viable.
Subsequently Ofcom, the media regulator, ruled that some of its programmes did not comply with UK impartiality rules.”

He apparently couldn’t understand why the tv channels in foreign lands weren’t like the US!

His “team” subsequently made a special arrangement so that a satellite hookup would allow him to see Fox and the others he watches wherever he goes, plus they see to it that there are several televisions placed in his hotel suite!

They also had to encourage foreign leaders and staff to avoid presenting foods that were deemed too odd for him, such as serving fish with the head still attached!

He is such an incredibly pedestrian boob.
