He is tweeting more frequently and more furiously, with rage-filled outbursts aimed at his perceived enemies. Among them is his former National Security Advisor, John Bolton, whose new book, <em>\u201c<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/30YpLpu\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir<\/a><\/strong>,\u201d<\/em> affirms that Trump extorted Ukraine to get dirt on Joe Biden. That&#8217;s actually something that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=43324\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Trump himself admitted<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>However, on Tuesday morning Trump took a wild swing at the TV <em>&#8220;news&#8221;<\/em> network that has been his staunchest defender throughout his presidency. This is not the first time that Trump has gone after Fox News, but it&#8217;s a significant slap in the face to those who are working hardest at disseminating his disinformation during the Senate impeachment trial. He tweeted that it&#8217;s&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8230;..So, what the hell has happened to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FoxNews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@FoxNews<\/a>. Only I know! Chris Wallace and others should be on Fake News CNN or MSDNC. How\u2019s Shep Smith doing? Watch, this will be the beginning of the end for Fox, just like the other two which are dying in the ratings. Social Media is great!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1222183788924502017?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 28, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>So Trump begins this tantrum by whining that Fox News interviewed the Senator from Maryland, Chris Van Hollen, who Trump alleges has no name after citing it in his tweet. Van Hollen had an appropriately stinging reply:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Glad you tuned in, Mr. President. <\/p>\n<p>Now that I have your attention, how about coming down to the Senate to share your side of the story under penalty of perjury? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vPRFQwbJyX\">https:\/\/t.co\/vPRFQwbJyX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Senator Chris Van Hollen (@ChrisVanHollen) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChrisVanHollen\/status\/1222201009403039745?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 28, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t hold your breath. Apparently Trump believes that Fox should ban all Democrats from their network and only interview Trump-fluffing Republicans and other Fox Newsers. And in an immediate contradiction, he seems to think that Fox should have hosted a Democratic primary debate.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing on this tirade against his sycophantic Fox friends, Trump posited a rather peculiar question: <em>&#8220;What the hell has happened to Fox News?&#8221;<\/em> And he replies to his own query with an even more peculiar answer: <em>&#8220;Only I know!&#8221;<\/em> He doesn&#8217;t bother to elaborate on what he allegedly <em>&#8220;knows&#8221;<\/em> about Fox. So he will continue to be the only one who knows. But he does single some of those on the network that he is most upset with, including Chris Wallace and the now departed Shepard Smith. Trump&#8217;s concern for Shep&#8217;s well being is touching. If he&#8217;s really interest, he should know that Shep is waiting for his non-compete clause to expire, whereupon he will surely sign a lucrative deal with another network.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Trump predicts a dire future for the network that employs his most fervent StormTrumpers. People like Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Tucker Carlson, Steve Doocy, Lou Dobbs, Jeanine Pirro, and so many more. He predicts that this is <em>&#8220;the beginning of the end for Fox.&#8221;<\/em> That would strike many Americans as a positive development. But it&#8217;s difficult to imagine where Trump&#8217;s army of media shills would land if their Fox bunker were to collapse.<\/p>\n<p>Not to worry. Like everything else Trump says, none of this is true, particularly the part about the networks that are <em>&#8220;dying in the ratings.&#8221;<\/em> Actually, all of the cable news networks are enjoying a banner year with high viewership and revenue. But Trump never lets facts get in the way of his raging animus or massive ego. Consequently, he has aimed his anger at Fox many times when he felt that they weren&#8217;t sucking up hard enough (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?tag=trump-attacks-fox-news\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here are some examples of his frothing hostilities<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>As the Senate impeachment trial proceeds, it&#8217;s likely that Trump will get even more disturbed. There is also a likelihood of additional incriminating evidence coming out. And the case for the Senate calling witnesses became much stronger following the Bolton revelations. So look for Trump to escalate his whining and cries of victimhood, something that he <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=43090\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">takes enormous pride in<\/a><\/strong>. And prepare for more griping about Fox and the rest of media, which he still says he doesn&#8217;t understand.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Trump rally crowd boos Fox News\u2014&quot;What&#39;s going on with Fox, by the way?&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mjjmWJypNB\">https:\/\/t.co\/mjjmWJypNB<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Ceg7NxuD3X\">pic.twitter.com\/Ceg7NxuD3X<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Newsweek (@Newsweek) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Newsweek\/status\/1130862060714242048?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 21, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every now and then, Donald Trump becomes despondent over the fact that he is not blindly worshiped by everyone in the known universe.
