Trump complains Fox covered DeSantis border event, but not former president’s weekend speeches
The Hill ^ | 06/26/2023 | DOMINICK MASTRANGELO

Posted on 06/26/2023 11:17:57 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former President Trump is again knocking Fox News for its coverage of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, his leading rival for the GOP nomination for president.

“FoxNews just covered, from beginning to end, the Ron DeSanctimonious very boring news conference at the Border, but didn’t cover one minute of my two big speeches on Saturday and Sunday night, one for Faith & Freedom in D.C., the other about trade in Michigan, where I was presented with the ‘Man of the Decade’ Award,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social website. “The DeSanctus speech was just a rehash of all the things I did to have the ‘safest and strongest Border in U.S. history.’ Also, I’m up on him by 40 points, & also up big on Biden!”

Trump’s complaint is warranted. The more they push him the more we know he’s trash. I have no interest in watching a Trumpless debate and I won’t. Somehow I don’t think I’m the only one.

I know what the normal media is going to do should DeSantis
happen to catch up with Trump and win the nom, but I’m
wondering what the Hill would do.

It has basically become a Leftist echo chamber over the last
decade or so.

He’s not complained. He’s explaining to them the facts. If you’re not going to cover my campaign I have no need to be in your silly debates.

Ya think? Did you just figured out the lying media hates Trump and supports leftist/Communist and government insiders? Could it be this is why Fox ratings are in the toilet?

A debate by republican presidential candidates, without the leading and most important candidate, would have Trump represented by an empty chair, and the chair giving the most coherent and best answers to all the questions. Nobody else could match the empty chair’s answers. The chair could simply have the “MAGA” logo in it, and nobody could touch it when it simply says “MAGA”.

Trump has had 4 major hour long or two day long interviews in the last few weeks aired on Fox by Carlson, Levin, Hannity and recently Baier.

DeSantis has had exactly ZERO.

Why does Trump think always being a victim is a good strategy?

He has had more free air time in recent weeks from Fox than any other candidate even when you combine them all.

I don’t think people like voting for victims.

Fox has been supportive of Trump and yet he still whines.

How is he a victim? He is saying hownits going to be. If you don’t cover my speeches I won’t do the debates. That’s pretty straight forward and fair. Would you prefer: sure I’ll take all thr pot shots from a bunch of never Trumpers at the debate with no upside to me...

“Why does Trump think always being a victim is a good strategy?“

Go to any nursing home or assisted living facility. You will hear that same strategy from a lot of the residents.

He isn’t as demented as Biden. But he is on the same track…just a couple years behind.

DeSantis hit it out of the park today. Will deputize state LE so LE can deport illegals.

“Its just not fair! Poor guy.”

You seem like the DeSantis-bot that can discern the difference between the plan outlined by DeSantis for gaining control of our borders and what Trump has been saying, and put into practice, for many years.

But is it the “no excuse” meme that sets it apart, that makes it extra special? Kind of like the 8th day creation? Please let us know the distinction.

He complains and whines on Truth Social about Fox not being fair numerous times a week.

Yet he has had 6 full hours total of interviews by Carlson, Levin, Hannity and Baier.

He gets the cookies that were in the jar…….then he’s still not happy and wants the empty jar too.

Trump should be glad they didn’t cover that speech in Novi, Michigan.

It was a yearly meeting held by Oakland County Republicans.
They invited Trump about a year ago.

Only a few tables were engaged and clearly pro Trump the rest of the attendees were flat or just sat at their table.

Outside was a “Trump Rally”.

15 people showed up.

Fox did him a favor. It was a horrible turn out.

BTW…….Oakland County failed to deliver for Tudor Dixon. It was shocking.
If they can’t deliver a Trump endorsement, he doesn’t them locked.

Let em.. the more Desantis is seen, the lower he polls...

He’s got the Hillary problem.

He’s not a very good retail politician...

His wife has more presence on the Podium than he does.

You bet, as if Trump is a victim of the corrupt running the media and this government...He acts like they criminally undermined, compromised and attempted to overthrow him. And the media has treated Trump fairly! Good thinken!

I’m still a fan of Trump; but he needs to dump the whinging and concentrate on his message for America.
