President Trump is said to watch a lot of television for someone with all his responsibilities: Does he watch TV to fill in multiple-personality memory gaps?
Trump’s love for watching TV has even earned a New Yorker cartoon: http://www.newyorker.com/cartoons/daily-cartoon-022217-trump-watching-tv
Common explanations for his inordinate amount of TV-watching include 1. that he doesn’t read books or make much use of a computer, so he watches TV for information, 2. that he views life as a “reality-TV show,” 3. that he is guided by how people on TV react to issues, and 4. that when people discuss him and his policies, he learns who are his enemies and friends, and also gets narcissistic gratification.
I would like to add speculation that he may watch TV to find out what he and others have done and said, to fill in multiple-personality memory gaps.
