Fox News asks Trump to switch the lights off and on if he's watching. The predictable happened

It's no big secret that Trump likes Fox News. He regularly praises it as the last bastion of truth and justice in the barren world of #FakeNews

So when Fox and Friends asked Trump to flicker the lights in the White House to show if he was watching... Well...

The presenters were quick to point out that it was some clever editing trickery, and that POTUS didn't really flicker the lights.

Alex Weprin from Politico tweeted:

So, there you have it folks. Donald didn't flicker the lights for Fox and Friends.

If he did want to flicker the lights he'd probably have a staffer to do it for him.
