Trump Joins the Fox News ‘Curvy Couch’ Potatoes to Complain About Fox News

As the 2024 presidential race winds down to its final three weeks, Kamala Harris is blanketing the nation – and particularly the critical swing states – to shore up support and persuade undecided voters that she is the only alternative if we are to preserve American democracy and the principles of the Constitution that we revere.

Fox News, Donald Trump Baby

Donald Trump, on the other hand, is cowering in the safety of his MAGA media bubble, refusing to expose himself to any real questions, and even canceling events at friendly venues, including one with the NRA. It’s hard to determine if this behavior is due to his cowardice or his laziness or, most likely, both.

On Friday morning Trump made another visit to a group of the most devoted Trump-fluffers on Fox News, the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends. It’s a program that is a favorite of his for phone-in interviews in his jammies, where he knows that he won’t be challenged by any substantive questions or embarrassed by any fact checks. So it’s just the sort of safe space he’s limiting himself to as Election Day drays nearer.

On this occasion Trump was greeted with the customary welcome from hosts Steve Doocy, Ainsley, Earhardt, and Brian Kilmeade. Whereupon he launched into a sob session sparked by what he regards as treason by the his Ministry of Propaganda. Trump whined that…

“In the old days, you never played negative ads. In other words, when I leave here, I’ll then be hit by five or six ads…When I leave, I’ll have 12 people from Kamala on, and pretty much unopposed. For 19 days I don’t think we should do that anymore. I think you shouldn’t play negative ads. It’s very tough. You do a show – and I complain all the time. I love complaining. I like to have everything perfect. But when I leave here 200 people from…by the time you do it you say ‘What are you doing?’ It’s sort of a net neutral”

That’s right. Trump is big mad that Fox News dares to interview people who are not bona fide disciples of the Trump cult. In his warped mind, Fox is obligated to book only guests who will exalt Dear Leader without exception. And that’s not all. Trump is also upset that Fox News will sell advertising time to Democrats who might have cause to criticize him.

Trump is, in effect, revealing that his idea of what Fox News is there for is to advance his interests at all times. He may have gotten that impression because that’s precisely what they have been doing for years. However, should they waver in that mission now, they become just another enemy and a propagator of “fake news.” And this isn’t the first time that Trump has made these feelings known…

However, there is no need for the MAGA-nuts to worry. Trump is taking matters into his own hands to correct this wayward shifting of sentiments. As the segment was wrapping up, Trump told his F&F pals that…

“I’m going to see Rupert Murdoch. That’s a big event. I don’t know if he’s thrilled that I say it. And I’m going to tell him, I’m going to tell him something very simple – because I can’t talk to anybody else about it – ‘Don’t put on negative commercials for 21 days, don’t put them — and don’t put on the air their horrible people.’ They come and lie. I’m going to say, ‘Rupert, please do it this way,'”

Murdoch may or may not be amenable to Trump’s request. On one hand, he’ll want to please Trump, who he is ideologically aligned with, and who is the object of blind adoration by most the network’s viewers. On the hand hand, Murdoch won’t want to turn away ad dollars that offered to him, or lose access to Democratic power brokers in Washington. What’s more, he may be a little perturbed with Trump for bashing his network and it’s executives.

It is unlikely that Fox News will do anything to anger Trump. They rely on his cult followers for ratings, which translate into ad revenue. But it’s notable that Trump is so comfortable going on a Fox program and griping about how they aren’t being subservient enough to him. And of course, none of the Couch potatoes had any objection to his him kvetching in their faces. They know their place.

  1. I’m counting on tRump to accuse Fox and Murdoch for his defeat, among othres.

    • No doubt. He certainly won’t blame the real person responsible – himself.

  2. I suspect ol’ Rupert (The Fascist of Oz) Murdoch was none too pleased that Trumpy announced their upcoming meeting. Betcha Rupy wanted that kept quiet. I also supect Rupert’s going to inform Donny that he’s losing the election by being a senile old fool and he Rupert will be putting his support behind JD the New Kid, the future of the MAGAt/Fux party. Oh Rupert will still want Trump elected but after that, the presidency’s open for Vance as soon as they can swing it. Donald will emerge from this meeting looking like he did after Putin’s secret chat in Helsinki.

  3. Fox is responsible for the update of the spelling of the word, SYCOPHANTS to SICKhispants (short for in his, on his and undo his pants).

    As Tennessee Brando ~ the incredibly intriguing intellectual who is a blue dot of sanity in a sea of red idiocy ~ he’s seen too many people voting against their own needs when they insulted smart people (Democrats) and voted Republican, but going full MAGA is slicing off their nose to spite their face insanity!

    Check out his YOUTUBE channel and MEIDAS TOUCH for pro democracy content with a splash of humor to soften the sad reality that we may HAVE to face.

    Another reality check: America IS the laughing stock of the pro democracy world due to MAGA and every one of those countries WILL abandon US if [G-D FORBID] he becomes the fascist leader of our country.
