Trump replays his own rallies on White House dining room TV to show 'evidence of his brilliance', re

Donald Trump revels in watching moments from his rallies on a television screen situated in the White House dining room, a new report claims.

The president’s affinity for television is well-documented, with multiple screens at his bedside reportedly playing major networks simultaneously throughout the night. But new reporting says Mr Trump's TV watching doesn't stop in the bedroom: he and his associates watch his nationwide rallies in a dining room attached to the Oval Office.

"Wait for it," Mr Trump reportedly says as he watches special moments from his recent rallies that are preloaded onto a TiVo device. "See what I did there?"

n one occasion, the president compared himself to PT Barnum, an American politician and businessman known as the "the greatest showman", according to Axios.

"People think it’s easy," Mr Trump said, according to one source who spoke anonymously. "I've been doing this a long time now and people are used to it, every rally, it's like, people have said PT Barnum. People have said that before. And they think that's easy, because hey, PT Barnum, he does the circus."

rests on this MINORITY president who got in by cheating. I can't stand it. The rest of the world is going to suffer along with us, because we -- not Trump-- insist on abiding by some stupid slavery-protecting law (the electoral college).

It's not just us. Those fires in CA and Greece should remind us-- this is a "president" who doesn't care about climate change. He believes in it (he made sure Mar-a-Lago was adjusting to it), but he doesn't care. Which means, btw, he doesn't care about his 11-year-old son and his grandchildren either.
