Let’s face it … trying to unravel the acute psychoses of Donald Trump is an exercise in futility. It’s like trying to explain why pigs prefer poetry to pedicures. Seriously, don’t bother. And it’s particularly evident in his long-running love\/hate relationship with Fox News<\/a><\/strong>, the propaganda machine that put him in the White House.<\/p>\n

For the past year, Trump has lashed out furiously at Fox News for a myriad of perceived offenses. He vilified their pollsters as agents of “suppression.”<\/em> He castigated their producers for having the gall to book Democrats for predominantly disparaging interviews. He lumped Fox in with “fake”<\/em> news disseminators like CNN and the New York Times. He whined petulantly any time a Fox shill failed to exhibit unqualified adoration or presented him in a less than worshipful fashion.<\/p>\n

Naturally, Trump’s anger was often expressed on his favorite communications platform, Twitter, which he also loves to bash (see his incoherent tirades aimed at “Section 230<\/a><\/strong>“<\/em>). An example of Trump’s fury at Fox was posted last week when he declared that “Fox News is dead”<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t believe how badly @FoxNews<\/a> is doing in the ratings. They played right into the hands of the Radical Left Democrats, & now are floating in limboland. Hiring fired @donnabraziIe<\/a>, and far worse, allowing endless negative and unedited commercials. @FoxNews<\/a> is dead. Really Sad!<\/p>\n
