Donald Trump revels in watching moments from his rallies on a television screen situated in the White House dining room, a new report claims.
The presidents affinity for television is well-documented, with multiple screens at his bedside reportedly playing major networks simultaneously throughout the night. But new reporting says Mr Trump's TV watching doesn't stop in the bedroom: he and his associates watch his nationwide rallies in a dining room attached to the Oval Office.
"Wait for it," Mr Trump reportedly says as he watches special moments from his recent rallies that are preloaded onto a TiVo device. "See what I did there?"
In one occasion, the president compared himself to PT Barnum, an American politician and businessman known as the "the greatest showman", according to Axios.
"They dont realise, its a lot of work," Mr Trump reportedly added. "It's not easy."
Mr Trump has also enjoyed watching a moment from the 2016 presidential debate against Hillary Clinton in which he suggested he'd put the former Democratic candidate in jail if he were elected, the report goes on to add.
It is not uncommon for politicians to replay their televised speeches and other moments from their rallies in an effort to improve strategic communications and political messaging.
However, rather than using the TV screening moments for research and assessment, the president reportedly "luxuriates in the moments he believes are evidence of his brilliance."

Donald Trump has never known humility. If he is not at the center of attention at all times, he will never know true happiness from within.
