Donald Trump surprised everyone after attacking Fox News, a network historically aligned with the American president and often cited as one of the main forces behind his political rise in the United States.
According to the website Indy100, Trump used his social network, Truth Social, to complain about the network’s recent coverage and claim that voters from the MAGA movement “hate Fox.” The president appeared irritated after the channel aired interviews and comments considered too moderate by Trumpist allies.
“You could listen to Fox News all day, absolutely devour it, but then, when you hear scoundrels like Congressman Ro Khanna, ‘a wolf in sheep’s clothing,’ lie, lie and lie again, with no pushback, or competent rebuttal from an anchor, in this case, Jacqui Heinrich, all the common-sense dialogue that has been happening all day on Fox is completely destroyed!”, Trump said in the post.
“That is why MAGA Republicans, who are actually close to 100% of the Party, hate Fox, despite the wonderful contributions made by many of its great anchors and commentators. It is hard to win elections like this!”, he lamented at the end of the lengthy rant.
Internet users reacted with surprise at seeing Trump attack an old ally. “He is really spiraling today. Now he is [complaining] about Fox News because they are no longer loyal enough to him,” one commenter observed.
“Talk about biting the hand that feeds you,” another quipped. “Donald Trump, now [even] your Fox News has irritated you. This pathetic and deranged president of America has successfully become a joke to every sane citizen in the free world,” argued a third internet user.
