Trump is furious at Fox News

Fox News, long considered Donald Trump’s channel of choice, seems to have lost some of its popularity with the president, not least because of recent reports of internal polls deemed unflattering to him.

In a recent post on Truth Social, Trump sharply criticized these polls, claiming that this is precisely why his supporters don’t like Fox News.

Trump criticized a recent Fox News poll revealing divided opinions on his presidency: 53% approve of his handling of border security, but as many disapprove of his migration policies, while his results on the economy (40% approve vs. 58% disapprove) and inflation (34% vs. 64%) are judged even more negatively.

In response, Trump sharply criticized the TV network and its on-air polls as «crooked Fox News Polls».

The president went on to also criticize previous Fox News polls, accusing the network of being biased against him for years and claiming that he had largely won the election way beyond their predictions. «I hate FAKE pollsters,» he added.

Trump also criticized the fact that he’s only credited with just over 50% approval on the border issue, when, in his words, «the border is miraculously perfect».

Although Trump claims his supporters hate Fox News, he took the opportunity to compliment his favorite hosts, declaring: «It’s why MAGA HATES Fox News, even though their anchors are GREAT.» A contradiction of which only Trump has the secret.
