Trump says Fox News 'doesn't deliver for US anymore' after poll shows rising impeachment support




President Trump said on Thursday that Fox News "doesn't deliver for US anymore" after the network's latest poll showed growing support for his impeachment and removal from office.
"From the day I announced I was running for President, I have NEVER had a good @FoxNews Poll," Trump tweeted. "Whoever their Pollster is, they suck. But @FoxNews is also much different than it used to be in the good old days."

A Fox poll released Wednesday found 51 percent of respondents supported Trump's impeachment and removal from office. Four percent of participants said the president should be impeached but not removed, and 40 percent were completely against impeachment.


Trump on Thursday also lashed out at prominent Fox News employees who have been critical of him and his interactions with the president of Ukraine, which is at the heart of an impeachment inquiry by House Democrats.
"@FoxNews doesn’t deliver for US anymore," Trump tweeted. "It is so different than it used to be. Oh well, I’m President!"

He ripped retired Judge Andrew Napolitano, who argued that Trump had already confessed to a crime when he admitted to encouraging the Ukrainian president to look into Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son.
Trump claimed that Napolitano, Fox News's senior judicial analyst, wanted to be on the Supreme Court but that he turned the judge down. Politico reported in 2017 that Napolitano had told friends he was on Trump's shortlist of potential nominees.

The president also ripped Fox News anchor Shepard Smith and contributor Donna Brazile. Trump has targeted both before, as Smith regularly fact checks or rebuts statements from the president during his hourly program and Brazile is the former interim leader of the Democratic National Committee.

...Court Justice & I turned him down (he’s been terrible ever since), Shep Smith, @donnabrazile (who gave Crooked Hillary the debate questions & got fired from @CNN), & others, @FoxNews doesn’t deliver for US anymore. It is so different than it used to be. Oh well, I’m President!

Fox News declined to comment on Trump's tweets.

Trump has had a hot-and-cold relationship with Fox News in recent months. He has complained about several of the network's polls that showed him trailing his Democratic challengers in potential 2020 matchups and regularly lashes out at employees who are critical of him.
He tweeted in August that the cable network "isn't working for us anymore" and that his supporters "have to start looking for a new News Outlet."

But the president still regularly tweets out quotes from Fox News programming, his aides appear on Fox for interviews and former White House staffers have taken jobs at the network.
Moments after his criticism of Fox on Thursday, the president retweeted posts from Fox Business Network anchor Maria Bartiromo multiple times.

In a subsequent tweet, he also thanked the conservative One America News Network for its "fair coverage and brilliant reporting."

Thank you to @OANN One America News for your fair coverage and brilliant reporting. It is appreciated by many people trying so hard to find a new, consistent and powerful VOICE! See you tonight at the Big Rally in Minneapolis.

Trump doesn't understand what a poll is. He thinks all polls are rigged and that Fox New polls should be rigged in his favor. And he can't stand that they aren't...

Dear fellows of the GOP /Trump persuasion:

I do not expect you to watch this video, or every other I share here. I just ask you, would you agree, that, as more and more members of various parts of the current administration get moved off their posts, for whatever reasons, there is a growing number of witnesses of what is going on inside the Trump presidency. And things appear to culminate towards some form of finale.

The thing that annoys a lot of liberals:


Unemployment rates in the US are now very low.

Don't worry, trump is turning that around. US manufacturing is now the slowest it's been since the GFC. All those people who credited trump because the US economy continued doing what it had been doing since 2009 the first day he took office don't understand that the biggest economy in the world doesn't change course overnight. That takes time, and the effects of this shitty government are just starting to come down the pipe now.

Like I've said before, if the US gets a new president next year, I'm sure they'll move into the white house just in time for trump's economy to really start its downhill trajectory, and cop all the blame from simple minded idiots who don't have a clue what they're talking about.

Guiliani, his role getting clearer and clearer, and he looks worse and worse. And we can expect his now boss and client, onald J Trump, to "not know him THAT well, he worked for me, for some minor cases", very soon. I'd say, next week, his gone and Trump has once again shown his nature:

You are a friend, as long as you are useful, but he'll turn on you in a heartbeat, once you're not.

His fans developed a blind veneration. But gladly, key courts and agencies still protect the laws.

Trump was already violating the emoluments clause. Grabbing the G-7 is even worse.

Who is benefiting when the president’s businesses get contracts? Not the public.

President Trump already had an astounding record of corruption. Thursday’s announcement that the G-7 conference will be hosted at his property Trump National Doral Miami makes it so much worse.

Trump already faces an impeachment inquiry into his attempt to pressure Ukraine to interfere in our 2020 elections and help him politically by investigating his opponents. Now, by personally advocating for the award of a massive and prominent federal contract to his own property, he has provided the American people with another clear example of his willingness to abuse the powers of his office to benefit himself.

Trump’s decision to retain ownership of his businesses during his presidency always made such brazen corruption a possibility. The consistent message (which the July 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky illustrated clearly) has been that those who wish to curry favor with Trump can bring business to his properties. That has led to conflicts of interest affecting almost every aspect of his presidential decision-making and to regular violations of the Constitution (my organization, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, is involved in two lawsuits addressing these violations).

Trump has awarded next year’s G-7 summit of world leaders to his Miami-area resort

My organization has tracked more than 2,500 conflicts of interest involving Trump’s businesses and properties. Foreign leaders and embassies, administration officials, members of Congress and other officials have gone out of their way to patronize the president’s businesses. Vice President Pence went nearly $600,000 worth of limo rides out of his way to stay at Trump’s resort in Doonbeg during a recent trip to Ireland.

But awarding the G-7 summit to Trump’s Doral resort is a dramatic escalation of the unconstitutional behavior that has defined his presidency. It is not as if Trump’s previous efforts to profit from his office were subtle: Trump has hosted foreign leaders at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida. He has paid 387 visits to his properties — an average of more than one visit every three days of his presidency. What sets the G-7 decision apart is that this time, Trump played an active role in corrupting the process by which the federal government awards contracts — both in private and in public.

Of course, this might not be the thing that breaks the camel's back.
