Former President Trump renewed his attacks on Fox News this week, accusing the network of underplaying a new poll showing him with a double-digit lead on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in a potential 2024 Republican presidential primary match-up.
Trump, in reference to the Fox News poll published Sunday that showed him leading DeSantis by 15 points in a hypothetical match-up, knocked the media giant for “promoting” DeSantis “so hard and so much that there’s not much time left for Real News.”
“Reminds me of 2016 when they were pushing ‘JEB!’ The new Fox Poll, which have always been purposely terrible for me, has ‘TRUMP Crushing DeSanctimonious,’ but they barely show it,” Trump wrote. “Isn’t there a big, beautiful, Network which wants to do well, and make a fortune besides? FAKE NEWS!”

Trump has entered the petulant child zone.
Dear FOX News: Right On! Don’t just double-down on deSantis, triple-down.. heck, quintuple-down.
How I wish this guy would focus on problems facing America, and DeSantis is not one of them. The amount of harm that can be caused be creating an enemy out of a potential ally is immeasurable.
“Initially, I thought Romney and Ryan would be great leaders”
1. If it’s any consolation don’t feel bad.....those two slim balls fooled a lot of people, myself included.
2. I really believe the Bible’s warning to beware of wolves on sheep’s clothing actually extends to those two.
So what? Neither you nor Trump can change it and bitching about it won’t help anything. Not one person is gonna say, “oh because Murdock is bad I’m voting for Trump”.
“Dear Donald: STHU, SMH, just stop it. You’re acting like a jealous 15 year old, STOP.”
DITTO DITTO DITTO !
I’ve never known a single person that has such a penchant for self destruction as Don.
It’s infotainment - not journalism.
The sooner everyone realizes that the sooner we can focus on real issues.
Fox wants to promote a “fight” because it is good for ratings.
It is about $$$$ and it has little to do with “Trump” or “DeSantis”, MAGA, the GOP, conservatives, or any other ideological foundation. Follow the $$$$$ and stop thinking these perfumed princes and princesses in nice clothes are watching out for you or me.
They are selling us to advertisers. Period. If it “sells” they preach it.
I’m beginning to think Trump believes he should just be allowed to walk into the nomination unaposed by anybody.....no debates no nothing.
The personal attacks didn’t hurt him last time because it caught a lot of people by surprise......not this time.
It’s actually turning people off.....myself included.
Rupert has been called “Rupert Moloch” by Michael Savage and I see him at a man obsessed with sex and capitalism.
It showed up with all the “breast” and “leg” female personalities on Fox News in the Roger Ailes Era.
We’d be so lucky to have him as president. He just kicked Disney’s ass. Everyday he is working. I’m just glad he’s swatting away the annoying gnat who does absolutely nothing but play on the phone.
The issue is, who is behind this DeSantis fellow? DeSantis was just endorsed by Jeb Bush. That’s more than most need to know.
What you have to understand is DeSantis reads a script written for him on issues that the Bush league think will peel off voters from Trump.
DeSantis is ordinary, not extraordinary.
He can read a script and push our buttons, but the real story is who is behind him? If you knew, you’d be angry asking him why he allows it. The answer is, he has skeletons and the Never-Trumpers prodding him to enter the primary race know about them.
DeSantis is in a tight spot. He can’t run, he can’t refuse to run. He’s hoping something breaks for him like an indictment and arrest of Donald Trump.
Trump knows what’s going on behind the scenes. Fox has gone woke. Tucker is controlled opposition. Fox is aiming to take out Trump.
DeSantis is at this moment, damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t.
Jack Smith, a Thug with Law Degree, is working to take out Trump allowing DeSantis free reign.
Stay tuned.
So true that DeSantis wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
A big negative for RDS is being endorsed by Jeb. However, RDS has been a much more conservative governor than Jeb. I sometimes wonder if Jeb just endorsed RDS just to damage him, but I doubt Jeb is self-aware how toxic he is to the GOP base.
Fox will continue their routine with Pussy Paul Ryan on their board of directors. Looks like Jeb and Paul both want to on a DeSantis ticket.
And Trump’s petulance charmed us all in 2022.
trump is whining while desantis is winning...
There you go with thoughtful commentary.
As the opposition chortles in glee, the average voter thinks “There he goes again . . . “
And Don’s whining is making me wonder do I *ever* want to vote for such childishness. It is SOOO nauseating.
He's correct.
Fox's approach and now your "STHU" approach is disgusting and will only backfire as most normal people believe that fair and balanced and not censor and destroy is the correct approach.
