Trump Reportedly Shouts at TV in Oval Office Dining Room While Eating Burgers with Pence

President Donald Trump spends his casual time with Vice President Mike Pence kicking back by shouting at the TV over plates of fast food.

A new report detailed the multiple times White House aides stepped into the Oval Office Dining Room to find Trump and Pence hanging out in front a spread of burgers and chicken — with the TV always on.

At the meals in the small dining room off the Oval Office, Trump keeps a big-screen TV tuned to cable news. Aides who have walked in have seen Trump yelling at the TV as he sits with Pence and their deputies over plates of chicken and cheeseburgers. When he sees something on the screen that he dislikes, Trump on occasion will interrupt the lunch and summon aides to discuss a response, people familiar with the lunches said.

Trump’s schedule was leaked several months ago and revealed that he spends a good chunk of his work day on “executive time,” which is often dedicated to watching Fox News. Like his cable news addiction, Trump’s love for burgers from McDonald’s and chicken from KFC is well documented.
