Donald Trump, who rode his status as a reality TV personality and cable news regular into the White House, has long had a circular, symbiotic relationship with television. The medium both sustains his need for the public’s attention and provides him plenty of material for the tweets and other extemporaneous remarks that in return land him more of that sweet, sweet TV coverage. Some critics have even taken it upon themselves to see if they can accurately track what channels and programs the president is watching every day by the subject and timing of his tweets.

Still though, the president is wary of being seen as someone who is too fixated on the screen. That’s at least one takeaway from a massive report from The New York Times, published Saturday that profiles the day-to-day habits of a president whose first year in office has careened from crisis to crisis. According to the report, the president consumes up to eight hours of television per day, from when he gets up in the morning at 5:30 A.M. to when he goes to bed. In the mornings, he clicks over to CNN, Fox & Friends, and sometimes Morning Joe because, some suspect, it “fires him up for the day.” However, the Times writes, Trump has insisted he doesn’t watch it all that much.
