President Donald Trump is stewing over a segment on Thursday’s edition of Your World with Neil Cavuto — in which a guest analyst offered a harsh critique of his 2016 debate performances.
In a Thursday afternoon tweet, Trump blasted A.B. Stoddard of RealClearPolitics for calling his debates “disastrous.” So furious was the president that he went so far as to seemingly blame “Fox board member Paul Ryan” — who joined the board of the Fox Corporation in March 2019 — for Stoddard’s analysis.
“Could somebody at @foxnews please explain to Trump hater A.B. Stoddard (zero talent!) and @TeamCavuto, that I won every one of my debates, from beginning to end,” Trump wrote. “Check the polls taken immediately after the debates. The debates got me elected. Must be Fox Board Member Paul Ryan!”

Stoddard, as part of a panel discussion analyzing Wednesday night’s Democratic Presidential debate, ripped Trump’s performances from four years ago in the context of Mike Bloomberg’s struggles.
“I think that Donald Trump had disastrous debate performances,” Stoddard said. “Many answers were so cringeworthy. You just couldn’t even believe that he was standing on the stage. And he’s president.”
Watch above, via Fox News.
UPDATE 6:20 p.m. ET: Cavuto fired back at the president to close his show on Thursday — with a stinging fact-check which noted that Trump was, in the near-unanimous opinion of experts and polls, deemed to have lost his debates in 2016.
“He did not [win the debates],” Cavuto said.
Watch below.
Could not agree with you more about old melon head Cavuto. Fox has been changing stripes for a while now.
I only watch shows that are funny or light subjects. Fox is neither anymore except for Mark Steyn on Tucker.
Cavuto is a sellout
In a news sense any port in a storm to keep his fat butt employed
I can actually stomach Geraldo more than Cavuto. I never turn him on anymore. Ugh
Geraldo has been subbing for Leftist Juan and now I can watch the Five until Juan returns.
Its a wonder anyone watches these smug, know-nothing talking heads who try to sound insightful and profound. They are all a bunch of establishment loving, overpaid phonies who could’t make an accurate political prediction if their life depended on it.
Facebook has a Page:
‘I BOYCOTT FOX NEWS PROGRAMS BY SHEPARD SMITH, NEIL CAVUTO AND JUAN WILLIAMS’
I only watch shows that are funny or light subjects. Fox is neither anymore except for Mark Steyn on Tucker.
Mark Steyn was on last night. He is the best guest ever on Tucker.
I think most Trump supporters have moved to OANN, where it is available.
Give Pete Hegseth an afternoon show he is very likable.
LOL. Fox sure has a stable of losers these days.
Fox is too entertainment oriented for me. Their shows are more about personalities than news.
Yes I’ve rewatched the segment a couple times today. Thanks.
The ONLY program I watch on FOX anymore is Hannity. I used to watch Tucker but all he does as of late is argue with Democrats and has few, if any, conservative guests. FOX has taken a hard left turn and isn’t worth my time.
OANN is where I go to get news now.
All of Trump’s debate performances were stunning, especially the first primary debate hosted by Fox, and the second presidential debate with all of Bill Clinton’s victimes sitting in the first row. Special props to the fly during the first presidential debate. Remember the fly?
Yes, I do.
Yep, saw this addressed at the rally. Cavuto is terrible and Stoddard is worse. Glad Trump is calling them both out for the losers they are.
Jessy Watters in the only conservative left a Fox. Tucker is a Liberaltarian.
Cavuto on with Stoddard is definitely some no watch TV for me.
Rather than suffer Cavuto, we watch Lou Dobbs over on Fox Business along with the honorable Charles Payne. Both being much more Trump friendly than Mr. C.
Based on that nonsensical comment, we shouldn’t read you at all!
Catholic League president Bill Donohue slammed the left-wing direction that Fox News has increasingly moved toward under the stewardship of founder Rupert Murdoch’s liberal sons, James and Lachlan Murdoch.
‘This Is Not the Same Fox News’
“This is not the same Fox News that is was under Roger Ailes,” Donohue said on 77 WABC’s “Bernie and Sid” radio show (audio below). “He would have never, ever have put up with this.”
