Trump’s romance with Fox News is hitting a rough patch, with Trump starting to take aim at the occasional dissenting voices that appear on the network during the day.
The White House had its side presented an hour later, when Trump spokesman Hogan Gidley appeared on a segment where he talked about the president’s accomplishments and how the White House was preparing emergency resources for Puerto Rico should it be affected by Hurricane Dorian.
The tweet is the latest in a recent series in which Trump has gone after commentators and aspects of Fox News coverage that isn’t friendly to him. Other recent Twitter targets of Trump’s ire include “The Five” co-host Juan Williams, , “Fox News Sunday” moderator Chris Wallace and afternoon anchor Shepard Smith . They have all been recent targets of the president’s ire on social media.
“He thinks of them as his publicity organ and they are not dispensing the message that he wants. I could see him being upset about it,” said one news executive. Trump’s statements that Fox News is “no longer working for us” is damaging to the channel, which often points out that its news-gathering operation is separate from the opinion hosts such as Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, who devote much of their airtime attacking the president’s critics.
