• President Donald Trump sometimes schedules meetings according to what he sees on his favorite cable programs like "Fox and Friends," according to a former White House official.
• "If he's seen something on TV or [was] talking to [Sean] Hannity the night before, he's got lots of flexibility to do whatever he wants to do," the former official said in a Politico report.
• Trump's battle against the news media is evidenced by his public criticism against networks he believes have covered him unfairly. In turn, he has shown deference toward outlets that cover him favorably.

President Donald Trump's propensity to tune into Fox News has been noted in multiple news reports, but according to one former White House official, he also schedules his meetings related to what he sees on cable programs like "Fox and Friends."

"He comes down for the day, and whatever he saw on 'Fox and Friends,' he schedules meetings based on that," the former White House officials said in a Politico report published on Monday. "If it's Iran, it's 'Get John Bolton down here!'"
