Trump Goes On Wild Late Night Binge Sharing Memes Attacking Fox News: ‘Bias, Dishonest and Unreliable’

Former President Donald Trump went on a meme-sharing binge late Monday night on Truth Social and notably shared a number of vicious attacks on Fox News.

Close observers of the Republican candidate’s relationship with Fox News will note that these attacks came hours after Trump appeared on The Ingraham Angle, where he was treated most kindly by host Laura Ingraham, who helped the former president navigate current political attacks in a manner that some may not recognize as an acceptable journalistic standard.

Some of the memes Trump shared followed his attack on Fox News from Monday afternoon, in which he blasted the cable news giant for airing “Crazy Kamala Harris Rallies” and claimed, “We have to WIN WITHOUT FOX!” Trump wrote:

Why is FoxNews putting on Crazy Kamala Harris Rallies? Why do they allow the perverts at the failed and disgraced Lincoln Project to advertise on FoxNews? 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 FoxNews. We have to WIN WITHOUT FOX!

The first reply to that social media message was a shocking attack on Fox News, the sort you might see posted on DailyKos or expressed on Media Matters, such as this note from “Angela73”:

Then, there was this familiar attack on Trump’s old nemesis, Paul Ryan, from “akaPROBOSS“:

And also this baseless claim, also from “akaPROBOSS” that Fox News anchors Shannon Bream and Neal Cavuto are on the “Soros payroll”:

Trump shared maybe a dozen other cartoonishly patriotic memes of fever dream fantasies like an American flag-covered 18-wheeler bringing Trump back to Washington DC, surrounded by thousands of flags—also, the usual attacks on Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris because, of course.

Now, clearly, Trump has a complicated relationship with Fox News, whose opinion programming is not only the highest-rated in all of cable news but is overwhelmingly pro-Trump in its coverage. Need evidence of that? The last social media post that Trump shared before his weirdly unhinged meme binge was a Fox News segment of Jesse Watters attacking Vice President Harris.

So, what is really underneath this Shakespearean dynamic unfolding before our eyes? Trump seems obsessed with Fox News and seems to know that his biggest viewing audience will almost be found on this network. Is it some sort of pro wrestling kayfabe? Or is he simply using the secret tactics of pick-up artists known as “negging”?
