Members of President Donald Trump’s inner circle are increasingly fearful about what they say is the primary driver of the president’s life-or-death political decisions: Fox News.
The president’s top aides say that the administration’s efforts to deploy National Guard troops into Democratic cities are “partially and meaningfully” influenced by what Trump sees on the right-wing network and other cable outlets, according to a report from news platform Zeteo.
Trump himself has admitted as much. Last month, after declaring Portland was “war-ravaged” and that its ICE facilities were “under siege from attack by Antifa,” Trump said in an interview that when Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek told him there “is no national security threat” in the city, he replied: “Well, wait a minute. Am I watching things on television that are different from what’s happening?”
