Trump knocks ‘Fox & Friends’ as debate decision looms
thehill.com ^ | 08/17/23 | Dominick Mastrangelo

Former President Trump attacked Fox News and its flagship morning news program Thursday over the way it has been covering him.

“Why doesn’t Fox and Friends show all of the Polls where I am beating Biden, by a lot. They just won’t do it,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social website.

The former president also took issue with the way the network was portraying him physically.

“They purposely show the absolutely worst pictures of me, especially the big ‘orange’ one with my chin pulled way back. They think they are getting away with something, they’re not,” he said. “Just like 2016 all over again…And then they want me to debate!”

I think that was Trump responding to DeSantis when he claimed to be created on the Eighth Day.

While Trump has led a few polls, for the most part, Biden leads him. So I’m not sure what he’s talking about.

“While Trump has led a few polls, for the most part, Biden leads him. So I’m not sure what he’s talking about.”

That’s because so many of the polls are by liberal entities primarily, and the few that are more honest are seldom seen unless you watch Newsmax. Fox polls have always been lousy ones and attempt to show Trump in the worst light possible in interpretation by their hosts. They are always weighted Dem. Fox polls I trust amongst the least.

Fox has been shilling to get Trump to show up at their debate in a continuing onslaught of if you don’t show up the others will be showcased and you’ll lose ground, or in the alternative if you think you are such a great debater why don’t you show up. You look afraid and cowardly. Afraid and cowardly is the very last description any sane person would use regarding Trump. Fearless Warrior is more like it, so no one believes what the Fox hosts are selling.

If Trump shows up most of the other candidates (including the hosts with biased questions) will all attack him one right after the other. If Trump doesn’t show up, the same attacks as just stated here will still occur.

Hope Prez Trump doesn’t go to the debate, primarily just to stick it to Fox whose election coverage stinks and is so biased against Trump it’s like poking you in the eye with a stick.

Brett Baier’s mentor, by the way, is Brit Hume who dislikes Trump intensely. Brett took over Brit’s hosting position when Brit semi-retired, although he’s showing up more and more again on Fox in time to smear Trump during the election season. Brett worships Brit and therefore, emulating his hero, can’t stand Trump either.

Karl Rove actively works behind the scenes to defeat Trump as he is a RINO, Establishment, globalist Bush family lover, having worked for them. Brit Hume lives near one of the Bush compounds in FL and is a good friend of Jeb Bush whom Trump toppled as the alleged heir apparent during the 2020 election primaries. The Bush family hates Trump for that and seek revenge. Brit has been photographed speed boating with Jeb & friends. I think they live around Boca Ratan although I’m unsure; I once knew.

The Murdochs, Rupert, son Lachlan (whose running Fox News now) and Paul RINO Ryan who is on the Fox Bd of Directors, all back DeSantis. They bet on a losing horse. My guess is at some point they will jump ship if Gov. Glenn Youngkin of VA decides to run and DeSantis continues to gain no steam, along with all of the globalist RINO financial backers of DeSantis. Jeb Bush backs DeSantis. At some point they will abandon DeSantis as he appears to be a loser. HOpe they all went through a ton of money backing DeSantis. Makes me laugh, the fools.

Actually most all of the candidates will hang around as long as possible as they are waiting to see if Trump will fall by Lawfare and one of them can them assume the mantle.

STAY AWAY from this Debate, President Trump the Great. It is a loaded gun pointed right at your head. Let Fox dangle up to the very last minute and then dump them. Set up something that will detract from their debate. Show up in Atlanta, GA to “surrender” for arraignment on the very day of the debate. Turn a negative into a positive as at least it will rain on the Fox presidential candidates’ news parade and ruin their day. All the MSM attention will go straight to you in Atlanta. Hah.

I can’t think of a better way to make lemonade out of a lemon.

This is vain and petty for POTUS. DJT is at his best when he sticks to the issues which affect every U.S. citizen.

President Trump has been given until August 25, 2023 to surrender his fanny in Georgia by Black Panther DA Fani Willis.

IMHO President Trump should arrive in Fulton County, Georgia for his arraignment on the exact minute Fox News begins telecast of the 1st Republican Debate on August 23, 2023

Perhaps the best political mug shot ever was U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay’s grinning face, splashed across front page newspapers across the nation.

Fox & Friends is touting the “anyone but Trump” candidate. It clearly is following orders from corporate. Trump should sabotage their highly promoted debate by not attending to get revenge.

So again, what polls is Trump saying Fox should be featuring? What polls is Newsmax featuring?

And your dismissiveness explains it all? So, for you, whining from Trump is OK? Or are you so enamored and Trump, another fanboy, you can’t think for yourself? Luckily, there are a lot of people, more than 5% on FR that can think, have their own thoughts. Have a nice day in the echo chamber of your mind.
