Donald Trump has berserk meltdown as Fox News turns against him

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Political leanings aside, Fox News is a for-profit business. The network was only ever propping up Donald Trump because it made for a good ratings ploy. Now that Trump’s popularity continues to drop and even some conservatives are giving up on him, Fox’s coverage of Trump has became incrementally more negative – in particular during the daytime and weekends.

Donald Trump, ever the narcissist, seems to be taking it personally. He posted this bizarre tweet accusing Fox News of caving to the “Radical Left”:

What Trump doesn’t get is that Fox News is merely going where its own audience wants it to go. Hannity and Ingraham viewers still largely want to hear pro-Trump propaganda, so it’s given to them, because that’s what will keep the largest chunk of them tuned in. But Fox’s daytime and weekend viewers are starting to turn against Trump, and so Fox’s coverage in those time slots is doing the same.

Donald Trump is too much of a narcissist to understand that Fox News never really liked or disliked or cared about him. It was just a marriage of convenience for the network; a way to boost ratings. Now that the wind is starting to blow the other direction, Fox is doing what’s best for Fox, not what’s best for Trump.
