The article reports that President Trump is an extremely voracious consumer of news media, reading multiple newspapers daily and watching cable news each morning. According to interviews with more than half a dozen current and former White House officials, Trump's media diet heavily influences his decision-making and Cabinet members' standing with him. The article illustrates this through anecdotes about how Trump annotates articles, calls officials based on news coverage, and judges staff performance partly on their press coverage.
