Bolton Suggests Trump Spends More Time Watching Cable News Than He Does Working In The Oval Office

Politico reports:

Former national security adviser John Bolton suggested Sunday that President Trump pays more attention to television than he does to his advisers.

“I think it’s a combination of television and listening to people outside of the government that he trusts for one reason or another,” Bolton said on CBS’ “Face the Nation” Sunday.

“I think that if you could clock the amount of time he spends actually in the Oval Office versus the amount of time he spends in the little dining room off the Oval Office with the cable news networks of one form or another on, it would be a very interesting statistic,” he added.
