Just how thin-skinned is the leader of the free world? Yesterday our reality star-turned-president complained on Twitter that late night hosts are “always anti-Trump” and suggested: “Should we get equal time? … More and more people are suggesting that Republicans (and me) should be given Equal Time on TV when you look at the one-sided coverage?”

He was apparently reacting to a segment on Fox News, hosted by ex-Superman Dean Cain, claiming the late night hosts have turned left. His comments left some inferring that Trump wanted the FCC to step in and regulate late night monologues — an unprecedented action if true.

It seems odd that the man who leveraged hosting “Celebrity Apprentice” into a successful campaign for the highest office in the nation has so little grasp of how late night TV works — and how to pick his battles.

Late night hosts always punch up at the men in power.

Ford was satirized as a clumsy oaf. Carter was parodied as a hillbilly peanut farmer, Reagan a doddering fool, Clinton was a slick schmoozer, Obama an emotionless robot.

None of these presidents felt the need to whine for equal time.

It’s almost as if they had other things on their minds, like addressing the economy, the environment and international relations.

If the jokes sting so much, maybe it’s because they hit too close to the truth.

Of course, anything that isn’t absolutely complimentary to Trump is considered Fake News.

Isn’t this hunger for absolute adoration unseemly?

On Trump’s favorite platform bar none, Twitter, one of the most popular trending hashtags yesterday was #NewTrump TwitterBio. Among the suggestions that joked about his alleged ties with Putin, his allegedly white supremacist views and his treatment of women came this one from Mike Zuckerman (@Zucker­manMike1): “Hates the press for reporting my words, deeds and actions. #NewTrumpTwitterbio.”
