President Donald Trump reportedly unleashed a barrage of criticism against Fox News host Jessica Tarlov following her remarks on the network’s program “The Five.”
This outburst, shared on his Truth Social platform, highlighted Trump’s ongoing unease with negative coverage of his polling numbers and his perception of Tarlov’s commentary as detrimental to his image.
During a recent episode of “The Five,” Tarlov, the sole liberal co-host, addressed Trump’s declining poll numbers amid discussions about political issues in California.
She remarked on the overall negative direction of his approval ratings, referencing co-host Greg Gutfeld’s insights on polling trends. Trump took significant offense to her statements, expressing his frustration in a lengthy post.
“Why does Fox News allow failed TV personality Jessica Tarlov to ‘soil’ The Five?” Trump wrote, deriding her voice and opinions as disgraceful.
He claimed to have the best poll numbers of his career, countering Tarlov’s assertions about his popularity. Citing figures from various polls, Trump insisted he was leading significantly against Democratic rivals.
His post further lamented, “Nobody can stand Tarlov! She lies over and over again, and MAGA is complaining, BIG LEAGUE, that she’s all over Fox.”
Trump’s comments reflect a broader concern among his supporters regarding Tarlov’s presence on the network, suggesting that her commentary could alienate viewers and impact ratings.
In his tirade, Trump also highlighted issues related to immigration, contrasting his record with that of President Biden.
He claimed zero illegal entries into the U.S. during a specific month, while accusing Biden of allowing tens of thousands of undocumented individuals into the country.
This incident underscores the fraught relationship between Trump and parts of the media, including his own allies at Fox News.
Tarlov’s critical remarks are indicative of the challenges Trump faces as he navigates a complex political landscape where his past administration’s policies are scrutinized.
As the president continues to engage in public discourse, his reactions to dissenting voices reveal the ongoing tensions within conservative media circles.
