On the 17th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, President Trump woke up, turned on the television, started up his DVR of last night's Lou Dobbs Tonight, and began tweeting.

The other two tweets are about the same segment.

Gonna guess that at 7:12 am, Dan Scavino realized that the president tweeting about a Fox show on the morning of September 11 was a bad idea and made sure this got posted.

One of these things is not like the others.
During the Dobbs segment that the president is tweeting about, Sara Carter says that "hopefully the president will declassify all of these documents" for the Carter Page FISA warrants.

She also says "the one thing we can hope for" is Sessions resigns and a second special counsel is appointed to investigate the DOJ/FBI. The Sean Hannity Expanded Universe has been calling for that for about a year.
When you're embarrassed that the president is watching and tweeting about your show this morning.
Hm.

When everyone is on board with the White House talking points.
Presidential adviser and Fox host Sean Hannity: "This is a national emergency, it's time to build the wall."
Presidential adviser and Fox host Lou Dobbs: "This president is leading the nation on a national emergency that only he can solve and has the political will. The American people, all they need is a strong leader. He's it."

1. Trump’s Fox cabinet returned from vacation yesterday and urged him to “stay strong” on the shutdown. mm4a.org/4Qt
2. For the first 10 days, Trump had to watch the B-team cover his shutdown. But now Hannity, Dobbs, and company are back, and they are continuing to egg him on.
3. Trump's Fox cabinet has been a problem for a while. But we are now moving toward a dynamic where they possess real veto power over government actions.

Alright. Time to identify all of the Trump-Fox livetweets that I missed while I was off for the holidays.
I've nailed down around 20 Trump tweets that appear to respond to Fox programming. There are certainly more, but there are a few factors making it more complicated -- lots of tweets about the wall and Syria and the economy that could be, but are not definitively, live-tweets.
I'll start with 12/21.

Doocy: Will McConnell use the nuclear option to get the wall?
Earhartdt: "So far the president has not tweeted about that."

Right, Trump, 8:02 am
