Nobody at home would dare to touch the remote because Trump has designated rules about who has the right to change channels in the White House. His television sets are all tuned into to Fox news, his favorite channel. He also likes watching Fox and Friends and Morning Joe. TV remotes are only used by Trump and the technical staff. During meetings, he keeps the news on but muted.
In fact Trump shares a special relationship with Fox news and many of his tweets will be seen asking followers to watch some event or the other (related to him of course) on Fox News. In one tweet on Jan 24th 2017 he tweeted
“Congratulations to @FoxNews for being number one in inauguration ratings. They were many times higher than FAKE NEWS @CNN - public is smart!”

According to officials in the White House that Trump gets abit uncomfortable after a few days of peace and can’t handle watching news without him in it. He is after all one of the most famous men in the world. He loves the limelight and enjoys being in front of a camera as the center of attention.

Trump has been regularly seen in various video footage rearranging his own and people’s belongings while attending meetings or conferences. Be it a water glass or straightening papers, he enjoys doing so, (OCD maybe)
While some feel he is a control freak, others feel it’s because of his experience of being in the media to do things that look good on camera. Now that’s a weird deduction.
