Former President Donald Trump has been under attack since he began stumping for GOP candidates ahead of the midterms. Those incendiary remarks have gone into overdrive since Election Day on Wednesday, even from Republican supporters who spoke out against him after he referred to Florida governor Ron DeSantis as “Ron DeSanctimonious” during a final rally pre-midterm rally in Pennsylvania.
Throughout the election, Trump has been a top supporter of Pennsylvania Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz, which earned his criticism, most notably from one of his biggest media adversaries, Maggie Hagaman of the New York Times. After Oz’s stunning loss to John Fetterman, Hagaman had something to say which Trump didn’t take kindly to, which has since resulted in him publicly apologizing to former First Lady Melania Trump and his close media ally, Fox News’ Sean Hannity.
In a social media post on Thursday, Trump apologized on to Melania Trump and Sean Hannity for all the “fictional stories made up out of thin air, with no sources despite them claiming there are, being dumped on you by reporters” who should know better, Slay News reported.
“There is a Fake Story being promulgated by third-rate reporter Maggie Hagaman of the Failing New York Times, that I am blaming our great former First Lady, Melania, and Sean Hannity, that I was angry with their pushing me to Endorse Dr. Oz,” he added in the online rant.
Trump continued to call out the post-midterm allegations in addition to issuing an apology in his post thread on Truth Social:
“First of all Oz is a wonderful guy who really worked hard and was a very good candidate, but he WAS LONG IN THE RACE before I ever Endorsed him, they had NOTHING to do with it, he was not a ‘denier’ (his mistake!), & I was not at all ANGRY. Fake News!
“I’d like to apologize to Melania and Sean Hannity for all of the Fake News and fictional stories (made up out of thin air, with no sources despite them claiming there are!), being dumped on you by reporters and ‘News’ Organizations who know these stories are not true.
“The Fake News Media is ‘Crazed’ and totally out of control.
“I only wish the public could understand how really corrupt and crooked they are.
“They MAKE UP stories and then push them down your throats.
“Despite having picked so many winners, I have to put up with the Fake News.
His frustration didn’t end there, as he blasted reports that he was enraged over several of his handpicked Republican candidates losing their midterm election bids.
“For those many people that are being fed the fake narrative from the corrupt media that I am Angry about the Midterms, don’t believe it,” Trump said on Truth Social. “I am not at all angry, did a great job (I wasn’t the one running!), and am very busy looking into the future.”
“Remember, I am a ‘Stable Genius,’” he added.
According to the New York Post, “the 45th president was referencing reports that he was ‘furious’ Wednesday morning about Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz’s loss in the crucial Pennsylvania Senate race, and was blaming everyone in his circle — including wife Melania — for urging him to support the now-failed candidate.”
New York Times reporter and author Maggie Haberman tweeted the shocking claim, reporting that Trump described his wife’s backing of Oz as “not her best decision.”
The Post’s report added that “despite Trump apologizing to Hannity ‘for all of the Fake News and fictional stories,’ the former president raged against Fox News in a follow-up post, dubbing the channel ‘fake news’ for reporting on Trump-backed candidates who lost their elections.
“For me, Fox News was always gone, even in 2015-16 when I began my ‘journey,’ but now they’re really gone,” Trump said. “Such an opportunity for another media outlet to make an absolute fortune, and do good for America. Let’s see what happens?”
Trump also commented on two undecided key races: Arizona’s gubernatorial race, and the U.S. Senate race in Nevada. He warned of potential election fraud affecting the outcome for Kari Lake, Arizona’s GOP gubernatorial nominee, and Adam Laxalt, Nevada’s Republican Senate hopeful.
“Clark County, Nevada, has a corrupt voting system (be careful Adam!), as do many places in our soon to be Third World Country. Arizona even said ‘by the end of the week!” – They want more time to cheat! Kari Lake MUST win!” he noted.
Trump’s rant spurred on more attacks over the issue from his media adversaries, such as Salon, who claimed “Trump was beside himself because Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis – his most likely competitor for the 2024 presidential nomination – easily won a second term.”
George Costanza’s dad comes to mind for some reason.
You want a piece of me?
I’m interested in knowing who is in Trump’s ear too.
Btw, that post cut off the first half of her video. The full video is here and starts from the beginning.
He didn’t apologize to Melania. He said sorry the news made up the lies that I was angry at you. Sorry they put you through that. He wasn’t apologizing for what he did. The headline is dishonest
Rush used to say that only Trump could separate voters from Trump.
Sadly he’s doing just that.
“Actually it’s interesting he uses the term denier at all. So he uses the left-wing term and buys into their logic. Bizarre.”
How can you and all the others be so freaking stupid. He has the term “denier” in quotes, since everyone knows what it is shorthand for.
Libs seem to be obsessed with freaks these days.
“But it’s interesting that he’s so deferential to Dr Oz even approving of him being a denier, but he will rip Rick DeSantis apart.”
That’s easy to explain. He sees DeSantis as a threat.
What i am reading in the comments, shows me that The Deep State has won already. There is a ton of reasons that the GOP was rejected but non bigger than the Abortion decision, handed down from the SCOTUS BEFORE THE ELECTION. Remember killing babies is more important than anything. We have lost our way as a God Fearing and loving Nation.

Sundance is consumed by this nonsense....
Kriffin didn’t purchase DeSantis. He’s a paid shill for Trump and attacking half of his base by smearing RD with this garbage.
He is setting his own house on fire....
Good memory. Good point.
You’ve referenced the video several times. Can you provide a link or tell us what she said? Thanks.
If this is true, he needs to apologize to Ron D. ASAP!
BINGO!
DITTO TOTALLY!!
The only people “stunned” by Oz’s loss in PA are people who got their information from flappy lipped idiotic pundits out of NYC and DC. Anyone who spent 5 seconds on the ground inPA outside the Philly/NJ border area actually talking to folks would have known he was going to lose.
OZ was a turd of a candidate and the fools who tried to put lipstick on that pig should be ashamed of themselves.
The only reason OZ only lost by 3 was because Fetterman had a stroke… had he been healthy and able to properly campaign OZ would have gone down by 6-8 points…
If you are “stunned” a carpet bagging member of the media industrial complex, globalist, gun grabber and flat out fraud lost running as a Republican for statewide office in PA then you should probably rethink where you get your information from.
Not only was OZ eventual loss obvious from the start, the $100,000,000+ spent trying to sell him almost certainly cost other races where the money would have made a difference.
PA was an absolute unforced error, top to bottom
Whatever Trump does is always on purpose. You may not understand it but he does.
I can’t believe how stupid people are.
Just when I thought it was bad, I come out here to find Freepers, FREEPERS, wringing their hands over Trump.
Ascripting character flaws to the only man in the world you can save our free Republic.
That’s astounding!
The man has stood tall and faced down more corruption and evil than any other man on earth for us, you and me.
He says he’s a stable genius, you say OMG what a egomaniac! what an attention whore! In two words he destroys a key tennant of groupthink used by the left to isolate enemies as either to stupid or unstable or evil to warrant negotiation.
Don’t you people understand anything.
Why would you fall for leftist narratives or even for leftist trolling freerepublic.
It’s sickening quite frankly and if you’re going wobbly now, you’re A) being openly laughed at by the left who got you to take the bait B) worthless to the cause of saving America from a globalist takeover.
