Uh oh, Fox News pissed off Donald Trump

While nothing seems to shake the true Trump loyalists, the whole “destabilizing the economy with an ill-conceived trade war” has not made him popular elsewhere. Per Fox News, 48 percent of respondents disapprove of Trump overall. 56 percent disapprove of Trump on the economy (“a new low,” according to the network), 59 percent disapprove on inflation, 58 percent disapprove on foreign policy, 54 percent disapprove on foreign policy, 53 percent disapprove on taxes, and 44 percent disapprove on guns. The president, who has responded to unfavorable coverage by threatening to revoke licenses or block mergers, obviously did not take kindly to this bad news. 

Elsewhere in Trump’s ongoing media obsession, the president announced that on Thursday he would “be meeting with, of all people, Jeffrey Goldberg,” The Atlantic editor-in-chief who was mistakenly added to a group chat with Trump admin officials planning an attack on terrorists in Yemen. On Truth Social, Trump described Goldberg as “the person responsible for many fictional stories about me, including the made-up HOAX on ‘Suckers and Losers’ and, SignalGate, something he was somewhat more ‘successful’ with.” Goldberg will apparently be accompanied by Michael Scherer and Ashley Parker, “not exactly pro-Trump writers, either, to put it mildly!” Trump wrote.  

The president shared, “The story they are writing, they have told my representatives, will be entitled, ‘The Most Consequential President of this Century.’ I am doing this interview out of curiosity, and as a competition with myself, just to see if it’s possible for The Atlantic to be ‘truthful.’ Are they capable of writing a fair story on ‘TRUMP’? The way I look at it, what can be so bad – I WON!”
