The New York Times has published details of what powers the United States President through his day.

The paper cites its source for the claims as some of the 60 advisers, associates, friends and members of Congress it discussed the matter with.

It says President Trump chugs 12 cans of Diet Coke a day.

That means he's running on way more than the recommended daily intake of caffeine for an adult.

The paper also said that he is addicted to watching news programmes and uses television to manipulate his moods.

According to the paper, the President can watch up to 8 hours of television a day.

The New York Times said he wakes up to CNN for news, watches Fox News for comfort, and takes in MSNBC's Morning Joe to get himself riled up for the day.
