Trump doesn't read the newspapers for data or opeds.

He just scans the newspapers for articles about himself.

"Trump begins each day with a sheaf of papers detailing where and how often his name has been mentioned in the global press. The reports are typically too numerous for him to actually read, but the weight of the pages gives his sensitive ego a measure of his importance on any given day."
