I have long said that just like all of the other right-wingers, Trump has to watch FOX to know what to “think”. Unfortunately for us and the country, he is able to act on that craziness. Among other horror stories, there is a chapter in this new book called “HOAX” on the constant feedback between Trump and FOX: Hannity privately called Trump '''bats--- crazy''' and stress-vaped: book - Business Insider
A sample:
“Seeking an escape from President Donald Trump's rambling monologues over the phone early in his presidency, the Fox News opinion host Sean Hannity turned to vaping and stress-eating, a new book from CNN's Brian Stelter says.
"Early on in the Trump age, Hannity gained weight and vaped incessantly, which some members of his inner circle blamed on Trump-related stress," Stelter, CNN's chief media correspondent, wrote in his new book, "Hoax: Donald Trump, Fox News, and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth," set to be published by Simon & Schuster on Tuesday.
The book — an excerpt of which was published in Vanity Fair on Thursday — says Hannity told a colleague, "If you were hearing what I'm hearing, you'd be vaping too."
Stelter said he spoke with more than 140 staffers at Fox News and 180 former employees and people "with direct ties to the network" for the book.”
