President Donald Trump attacked Fox News on Tuesday, bashing the network for interviewing Democrats, asserting star anchor Chris Wallace should move to “Fake News CNN,” before ultimately declaring “this will be the beginning of the end for Fox.”

In a series of Twitter posts, President Trump singled out Chris Wallace, former anchor Shep Smith, and Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s (D-MD) appearance on the network.

“Really pathetic how @FoxNews is trying to be so politically correct by loading the airwaves with Democrats like Chris Van Hollen, the no name Senator from Maryland,” the president declared. “He has been on forever playing up the Impeachment Hoax. Dems wouldn’t even give Fox their low ratings debates…”

“So, what the hell has happened to @FoxNews. Only I know! Chris Wallace and others should be on Fake News CNN or MSDNC. How’s Shep Smith doing?” he continued. “Watch, this will be the beginning of the end for Fox, just like the other two which are dying in the ratings. Social Media is great!”

1. Please let him piss off Murdoch

He's lost without Faux

[grumpyduck]

6. Unfortunately,

the only way he can piss off Murdoch is if the ratings and ad revenue slip.

Still, maybe some of the comments being made by Fox talking heads will get through to some viewers. One can only hope.

[PSPS]

2. LOL. How presidential! He's shopping his reality show "presidency" to OAN now.

[Qutzupalotl]

3. All this for the crime of interviewing a Democrat.

[Aristus]

4. "Biting the hand that feeds him."

Only he's taking FOX News clear to the elbow.

I don't expect any retribution. Trump's demented followers will never switch news sources.

16. Biting the ass that feeds him

FTFY

[Aristus]

19. Welcome to DU.

[PatSeg]

5. Once again

Donald Trump will eventually throw everyone under the bus and then complain that he has no friends. The man is insane.

[Jade Fox]

11. +1

7. Oh please, Stable Genius sir...

...please throw Rupert Murdoch under the bus. Oh please, oh please, oh please.

I see no way this can possibly go wrong.

[pecosbob]

8. It's all a game for show

[IronLionZion]

9. In that case, Dems should do lots more interviews

keep it up until he completely cracks. U mad brah?

[turbinetree]

10. Gloom, Despair & Agony...

[ArizonaLib]

13. Good thinking!

Maybe his next favorite news outlet will be KORN?

[Grasswire2]

14. hahahaha!

I haven't seen that in probably twenty or more years.

[Hekate]

23. That's delicious. I've never seen it before!

[blugbox]

12. So according to trump, even attempting to be politically correct

Is now worthy of his utter rage.

He is not even hiding it anymore... he's literally straight up saying it out loud now.

15. Want some cheese to go with that whine, Dementia Donnie? n/t

[BadGimp]

17. FOX has been the Puppetmaster here, not Shitler.

From the beginning IMO. FOX has been the guiding hand and not the other way around.

What is happening now is the net effect of reality overwhelming FOX news, but NOT Trump. Perhaps Trump gets it but he can not be seen as accepting it as FOX has (to some degree).

THIS: “Watch, this will be the beginning of the end for Fox, just like the other two which are dying in the ratings. Social Media is great!” suggests a change is coming in Trump's influence efforts. My concern is that Russia and others will be playing a big role in an attempt to influence the upcoming elections.

18. Great! Total KARMA for the turd to destroy FOX NEWS.

Although I would prefer it if FOX, in its entirety, went down. I refuse to watch ANYTHING on FOX. Period. I must make such great sacrifices... Excuse me while I climb up on my cross...

Then, let him pick another network, maybe RT would be appropriate, but one that does not fall into the "must carry" category that cable services must include in the basic lineup.

Or let him create his own network, and then the FCC (AFTER the election, when a new FCC head is appointed) could still refuse to include it in basic cable.

Even better would be to put his ass (and all his spawn) in jail. Make the "new network" a non-starter.

20. It's a big tent

Under the bus.

[mahina]

27. 3 points!

[brooklynite]

21. "There has been a shocking decline in the quality and quantity of your toadying."

[Happy Hoosier]

22. I feel a bit for Chris Wallace, BUT....

I also feel like asking him WTF he expected to happen. This had been coming in the GOP for a long time. And Fox has always enabled this kind of behavior.

[Progressive Jones]

24. No worries. Shanty McHannity will still be there to fellate Trump everyday. nt

[riversedge]

25. I really do tire of Trumps temper tantrums. Boring.

[brewens]

26. It's hard to imagine anyone around him would think that was a good idea. He has no idea

that even at FOX "News" there has to be some limit. They like to make it look good once in awhile.

[fierywoman]

28. I assume he is, as usual, projecting the beginning of the end of his presidency.
