Part of President Trump's nightly routine, New York magazine reports in a new dispatch published Sunday night, is a phone call with Fox News host Sean Hannity. At about 10 p.m. ET, after Hannity's weeknight broadcast is complete, he dials up the president for a chat once Trump has retired to his private residence for the evening.
The conversation topics are varied but the language consistently profane, New York reports: Hannity "and the president alternate between the 'witch hunt!' and gabbing like old girlfriends about media gossip and whose show sucks and who's getting killed in the ratings and who's winning (Hannity, and therefore Trump) and sports and Kanye West, all of it sprinkled with a staccato f--k … f--king … f--ked … f--ker."
