Former President Donald Trump lashed out at Fox News on Monday, complaining about the network airing messages from his political opponents. Despite having suggested moving a proposed debate with Vice President Kamala Harris from ABC News to Fox News just last week, Trump took to Truth Social to express his discontent with Fox News’ coverage.
“Why is Fox News putting on Crazy Kamala Harris Rallies? Why do they allow the perverts at the failed and disgraced Lincoln Project to advertise on Fox News? Even Mr. Kellyanne Conway, a man so badly hurt and humiliated by his wife (she must have done some really NASTY things to him because he is CRAZY!), is advertising on Fox News. We have to WIN WITHOUT FOX!” Trump fumed, referring to longtime critic George Conway.
Trump also complained about the network after it reported new poll results showing a major shift in the race and shared multiple Truth Social posts targeting Harris. The poll, which was conducted between July 22 and 24, found Harris with a higher favorable rating than Trump in multiple key swing states, including Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
This outburst is seen as a calculated move by Trump to energize his MAGA (Make America Great Again) fan base. By attacking Fox News, which has been a key supporter in the past, Trump aims to portray himself as an outsider fighting against a media establishment that he claims is biased against him. This rhetoric is designed to resonate with his core supporters who share his distrust of mainstream media.
Trump’s relationship with Fox News has been complicated. While the network has been a strong ally, airing numerous pro-Trump segments and giving him a platform, it has also occasionally reported news that Trump finds unfavorable. This love-hate relationship has been a recurring theme in Trump’s interactions with the media.

The former president’s criticism of Fox News for airing Kamala Harris rallies and advertisements from the Lincoln Project, a group of anti-Trump Republicans, highlights his intolerance for dissenting voices. By labeling his critics with derogatory terms and questioning their motives, Trump aims to discredit them in the eyes of his supporters.
Trump’s reference to George Conway, a prominent critic and the husband of his former counselor Kellyanne Conway, is particularly notable. By bringing personal matters into the political arena, Trump seeks to undermine Conway’s credibility and paint him as a disgraced figure.

The poll results that triggered Trump’s ire are significant. They suggest a growing favorability for Kamala Harris in key swing states, which could have serious implications for the upcoming elections. Trump’s reaction to these polls underscores his sensitivity to any data that portrays him in a negative light.
This incident is part of a larger pattern of Trump’s behavior. Throughout his political career, he has frequently attacked the media and his opponents to rally his base and divert attention from negative news. This strategy has been effective in maintaining his supporters’ loyalty, but it has also deepened political divisions in the country.

Trump’s recent tirade against Fox News is a calculated effort to galvanize his MAGA base by portraying himself as a victim of media bias. By attacking both the network and his political opponents, Trump aims to discredit them and solidify his support among his core followers. The poll results showing Kamala Harris’s rising favorability in swing states have clearly struck a nerve, prompting Trump to lash out in a bid to maintain his political relevance.
