Trump rages at Fox as US midterms voting wraps
The 80-year-old posted three angry messages on his Truth Social network about Fox, blaming its recent ratings decline on not being sufficiently loyal to him.
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump expressed his frustration with conservative news outlet Fox News as US midterm voting concluded. In a series of messages posted on his Truth Social platform, the 80-year-old leader accused Fox of declining in ratings due to its opposition to him, labeling it "way down" and criticizing one of its hosts as "DUMB AS A ROCK."
He also disparaged a Fox poll of voters' opinions, calling it "always the worst." The midterm elections will determine whether Republicans retain control of Congress and will significantly impact the remainder of Trump's second term. Earlier on Tuesday, Trump hosted an election night viewing reception at the White House, where a White House official described the atmosphere as "cautiously optimistic."
Despite holding numerous rallies in the month leading up to the midterms, urging Republicans to vote as if he were on the ballot, polls indicate Democrats have a strong likelihood of gaining control of the House and possibly the Senate due to voter dissatisfaction with the economy and the Iran war.
