President Donald Trump rage-posted on Truth Social against Fox News As early results from the midterm elections came in Tuesday evening.
Fox Corporation CEO Lachlan Murdoch acknowledged during a Monday quarterly earnings call that Fox News is experiencing a decline in year-over-year ratings, telling investors and financial analysts that viewers are watching less TV, not tuning into other competing networks. Trump referenced the declining ratings in the post on the social media network he owns.
“FoxNews Ratings are way down (27%!) because they’re spending too much time covering the Trump Deranged Dumocrats! All of those people who used to watch Fox, and no longer do, get it,” Trump posted. “It’s them, not me — My numbers are better than they have ever been. The new CNN Poll stated that ‘TRUMP’ is at 99% among Republicans and, among Republican Presidents, ‘TRUMP’ is at 53%, compared to Ronald Reagan at 18%, and Abraham Lincoln at 8%! Fox knows this, and so does everyone else!”
“Also, why is Fox Corp. spending so much money donating to the Worst of the Worst, including [House Minority Leader] Hakeem Jeffries, [Democratic Maryland Rep.] Jamie Raskin, [Democratic California Rep.] Ted Lieu, [Democratic California Rep.] Pete Aguilar, the California Dumocratic Party, the Dumocratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Dumocratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Congressional Black Caucus PAC, the CHC Bold PAC, and the New Dumocrat Coalition Action Fund, among others?” Trump continued.
“No wonder FoxNews Ratings are collapsing, and they’re going to go down a lot further. They’re way down, not because of me, but because they are AGAINST me! This happened once before, and Fox almost collapsed. It’s happening again!” he added.
Trump reportedly had called reporters from CBS News and the Financial Times, while also texting Fox News host Greg Gutfeld, according to the Huffington Post.
Early election returns saw Republicans lose hotly contested Senate races in North Carolina and New Hampshire by wide margins.
