Trump Goes Completely Nuts After Fox News Talked About Ron DeSantis

Fox News decided to cover a recent "campaign" event for Ron DeSantis, and Donald Trump absolutely lost his mind. Trump lashed out at the network that he loves to hate, accusing them of being a RINO network and then said that their ratings are way down. Trump is going to have a hard time with conservative media covering other Republican candidates during this cycle, and we can likely expect more meltdowns in the coming months. Farron Cousins discusses this.

Fox News really screwed up this week, folks. They had the audacity just outright contempt to cover the news. Could you believe it? I, I, I'm still kind of in shock, but you know, who's really in shock about this? Donald j. Freaking Trump. Donald Trump is furious that Fox News went out there, covered a campaign event. Well, what could most likely be construed as a campaign event for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who appeared at Staten Island this week for some reason, I, I, who knows why would the governor of Florida need to go meet people in New York? I mean, he, he's totally not running for president, right? He actually went to three separate states that were not Florida this week, and Trump was. So he did what he always does. He got on true social, threw himself a nice little pity party tantrum where he attacked Fox News for, again, covering an event that, believe it or not, actually was newsworthy. Said. So interesting to watch Fox News cover the small and unenthusiastic 139 person crowd in Staten Island for DeSantis, but stay as far away as possible from coverage of the thousands of people. Many unable to get in at the Club 47 event in West Palm Beach, Florida. I call Fox News the Rhino Network and their down big ratings accurately reflect the name. If fake news, CNN n was smart, which they're not, they'd go conservative and all Trump all the time, like in 2016 and become a ratings chugg or not.

I love it because for a moment you almost had a somewhat decent point and then you revealed your motive and showed that you're just a whiny, crying little manchild that wants all of the attention all the time, 100% of the time on you and nobody else, like your little statement about c n like go all Trump all the time. That shows what your real motive is. Because if you're talking about a network covering a potential 2024 Republican candidate, do you want to cover the guy that has 139 people outta campaign of it? Or do you want to cover the guy that has thousands? That's not a bad point. I, I hate to give Trump credit for that, but realistically that's not a bad point, right? You know, do you want to talk about the person who has like, nobody showing up or the guy that has everybody showing up? And yes, Trump's rallies still do draw big numbers. Um, quite a few fewer by the end of the speeches, but they still show up eventually and leave a little early, you know, maybe beat the traffic, but then you blew it, cuz that's all he wants. He wants the spotlight on him, which is what's going to make this Republican primary so much fun to watch.

Like we're already seeing Nikki Haley's poll numbers, believe it or not, increase. In fact, there was a story on the hill that says she's surging because she's now up to 6% of the vote. Um, not exactly a surge, cuz Trump's still at like 48%, but I mean 6% is more than 0%, which I think is where she was at prior to her announcement. So I guess that's a surge. But Trump's gonna get more and more off because these other candidates and potential candidates will continue to draw media coverage because it's newsworthy. These people are running for president. It's, it's important to talk about them. And of course Fox News wants to move way, uh, as far away from Trump as they possibly can. That that's what the leadership at Fox News, the executives, that's what they want. They are sick of you, they're tired of you and your little attack on them is probably not gonna lead to more preferential treatment.

If anything, it might make them cover Ron DeSantis even more, which is gonna lead to more meltdowns. But Trump also understands that Fox News has a hell of a lot of power within the Republican party. If they didn't, he wouldn't be attacking them. He wants that attention focused on him because he knows he needs that audience. And anytime that network is talking about somebody else, possibly running for president, possibly doing something that Trump could never have done, it's gonna him off. So buckle up cuz these next few months, as more and more Republicans jump in, it's gonna be a lot of fun cuz we can expect a lot of meltdowns from Donald Trump.
