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.
I should have added I DO watch FOX Business. I love Lou Dobbs, Trish Regan and Liz McDonnel.
Tucker kind of runs hot and cold conservatism.
I agree. I agree whole heartedly, but they’ll never get rid of that idiot Juan Williams. He serves his purpose.
Yes, what is it with these guys (and gals like Laura) that interrupt their guests. Let them talk!
You notice you will NEVER see Judge Napolitano on Laura, Hannity, Tucker, DObbs
FNC was my channel for watching on Saturday mornings with the financial babes that were in place after Fox and Friends went off. Since Trump has been elected after FNF’s the channel is turned away from FNC.
I really don’t get the NeverTrumpers at this point. They come across as snobbish asses who are bald face liars and never believed anything they ever said that was conservative or are really liberal democrats. NeverTrumpers are the Bloomberg versions of the GOP. Odious, arrogant, elitist, hypocritical liars who have marginalized themselves into a small world.
Rank and file conservatives will never listen to them again. The establishment GOP might listen to them but any linkage to the NeverTrumpers should be a death sentence for their campaign. The Democrat media really detests them but finds them to be useful idiots and the NeverTrumpers either lack enough self-respect to see this and say no to the media or they really are dumber than a glob of goat snot.
Fox Business is what FNC used to be Varney, Charles Paine, during the day are great SO MUCH BETTER than Fox!!! I have to say for the news Bill Hemmer is a much needed improvement over Shep!!!
Yep, Shepie was an avowed Trump hater. So is Cavuto in my opinion. Don't watch Bill Hemmer so can't comment.
ALL LIBERALS ON FOX ARE UNWATCHABLE!
AB must have gotten a face-lift! She looked way better!
FOX BUSINESS is 1000 times better than FOX NEWS!
I watch FOX in the mornings and then after supper and it seems pro-Trump all the way.
I watch Elizabeth MacDonald’s show opposite Bret Baier. Baier became unwatchable. I love Elizabeth and Lou Dobbs on FBN.
AMEN.
We just started watching NEWSMAX!!
Do you like it I used to follow their site years ago.
His debates were awesome, we had watch parties for every debate. 2016 was great. Thank you Donald Trump.
LOVE NEWSMAX!!! Only watch it starting at 6:00PM but LOVE CHRIS SALCEDO!!
They can drop Cavuto from Fox News and keep him on FBN, where he’s a VP.
They should just put that ass Geraldo out to pasture.
Cavuto is VP of Fox Business News.
Did you expect her to trash her big boss?
