In a new wide-ranging interview, President Donald Trump has confirmed what many have presumed for months: He sometimes tweets from bed.

Trump explained he uses his personal twitter account – which boasted 47.3 million followers on Tuesday – to combat what he calls the “fake news media.”

“If I don’t have that form of communication I can’t defend myself,” Trump said in an interview with Piers Morgan of ITV, broadcast on Sunday. “I get a lot of fake news, a lot of news that is very false or made up.”

He usually tweets himself, sometimes from bed.

When asked about whether he was lying in bed with his phone thinking of how to wind people up, Trump said: “Well, perhaps sometimes in bed, perhaps sometimes at breakfast or lunch or whatever, but generally speaking during the early morning, or during the evening I can do whatever, but I am very busy during the day, very long hours. I am busy.”

“I will sometimes just dictate out something really quickly and give it to one of my people to put it on,” he said.

Asked about eating burgers and fast food and drinking Coke, Trump, 71, said: “I eat fine food, really from some of the finest chefs in the world, I eat healthy food, I also have some of that food on occasion… I think I eat actually quite well.”
