I'm kicking this off from home. It appears that the president woke up early this morning to live-tweet Fox & Friends from the beginning.
Generally he TiVos the broadcast and starts watching a bit later in the morning, but today I guess was special.

Right, Trump, 6:03 am

No tweets since then. I'm going to head to the office, more to come if he starts up again.
Kind of surprised he only seems to have watched the A-block today to be honest.

Two months ago, Sean Hannity joined Trump on stage during a rally and praised his administration.

On Tuesday, news broke that Hannity had been advising Trump on the shutdown.

Tonight Fox is letting Hannity interview Trump about it.

mediamatters.org/blog/2019/01/1…
Fox has abandoned even the pretense of functioning as a news outlet rather than a propaganda one. And that's so incredibly obvious now that it's barely mentioned.
How can Fox executives let this happen? Because they really don't care as long as the money keeps rolling in.

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.

Trump begins @foxandfriends interview by saying he chose to do it today because it's Melania's birthday, but can't say what he got her for a present ("maybe not so much")
Trump pivots from talking about Melania to threatening Iran
Asked about Ronny Jackson, Trump doesn't address allegations against him, but characterizes fact that cabinet appointees are vetted by the Senate as "a disgrace."

"The Democrats are obstructionists. It is horrible what they're doing."

Fox & Friends has effectively replaced DOJ's Office of the Pardon Attorney.

huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-pa…
Attorney for the sailor Trump just pardoned tells me that grabbing Trump’s attention by going on Fox News was a major part of their strategy.

For the record, that’s five days between Fox & Friends appearance and presidential pardon
