Just a few hours after losing Tuesday evening’s debate to Vice President Kamala Harris, failed ex-president Donald Trump called into Fox News and immediately began attacking the conservative network for daring to suggest that he had performed badly.
On “Fox & Friends,” Trump was asked if he would be open to the idea of a second debate which would be hosted by Fox.
“I wouldn’t want to have Martha and Brad,” Trump insisted, referring to Martha MacCallum and Bret Baier.
“I’d love to have somebody else other than Martha and Brad,” Trump reiterated, suggesting Fox’s Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters or Laura Ingraham would meet with his approval.
Live on Fox, Trump insults the two Fox anchors who have been pitched as debate moderators – Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum – and says "I wouldn't want to have" them. He says he would want Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters or Laura Ingraham to host instead. (An obvious non-starter.) pic.twitter.com/uXVJtnYn8L
Trump: Excuse me, excuse me, please, I don’t just want the BAD Fox News personalities like Brett Baier and Martha MacCallum to moderate the next debate, I want the very WORST Fox News personalities to moderate the debate, like Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity.
According to Fox News host Sean Hannity, if supporters of failed former president Donald Trump are unhappy with the ABC News moderators at tonight’s presidential debate, “half the country” will engage in a boycott of ABC’s parent company, Disney, and their theme parks.
Media Matters for America reports that Hannity made his remarks Monday evening on his show, telling viewers, “Just 24 hours right now, the one and only scheduled presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will take place. You can watch it right here on Fox News Channel. But unfortunately, it is being moderated by ABC-Disney. Barring some kind of political miracle, this debate will not be fair. ABC-Disney is officially a woke, left-wing organization.”
Disney is woke and left-wing? So does that mean Mickey Mouse is a communist and Goofy is Vladimir Lenin in disguise?
That wasn’t all Hannity had to say. And the more he talked, the more absurd he got.
“Maybe Bob Iger and his left-wing heir apparent, maybe they don’t want half the country to attend their theme parks, maybe they don’t care about their tanking stock price, which is their prerogative. They’re free to make that choice, but if they are biased against Donald Trump, as they have been leading into tomorrow night, as their nightly newscast is, half the country is not going to like it one bit. They are not going to like ABC-Disney one bit either.”
Here’s the video:
Do you get the feeling that Fox is worried Trump will self-immolate on national television this evening? If he does, the only person to blame will be him. And it’s safe to assume that the Disney theme parks will be fine. After all, Walt Disney was a capitalist and the company loves turning a profit.
Fox News host Jesse Watters got more than he bargained for when he aired a segment Monday evening with a reporter talking to young people near the New York University campus, which just so happens to be where Barron Trump, the son of failed one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump is currently enrolled, according to HuffPost.
One person said he had a class with Barron Trump. A teacher had asked the ex-president’s son what movies he had seen recently. Barron’s reply: “Bloodsport,” a 1988 film starring Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Another young person was asked if he had a message for Watters, to which he replied, “Eat shit, Jesse Watters!”
Reaction to the video ran the gamut, with many laughing at Watters, who seemed amused by being told eat excrement.

@JesseBWatters mocks college kids yet he attended college paid for by his parents. Or maybe he’s interviewing the next girl he’s planning on hooking up with.
It seems that to the whiny right-wingers at Fox News, Vice President Kamala Harris could cure cancer, end war across the globe, and oversee the strongest economic growth in world history, but it would still not be enough to please the dung spewers who want voters to believe that Harris is a bigger threat than to the United States than Russia and China combined.
The latest fake outrage being manufactured at Fox was on full display Sunday during the weekend edition of “Fox & Friends,” a show that routinely traffics in conspiracy theories, manufactured terror, and lies.
During a segment on the show, co-host Will Cain declared, “Vice President Harris is hunkering down in Pittsburgh as she pushes for unity while visiting a spice shop known for mocking Republicans.”
Cain was referring to a Saturday visit by Harris to Penzeys Spices in Pittsburgh, which co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy dubbed “the meanest spice shop in America.”
“They chose the comfiest, coziest place she could conceivably go, where all of the—the owners and the staff are 100 percent libs who hate Trump,” co-host Pete Hegseth chimed in. “And they not only believe that privately, to your point, Will, they say it publicly.”
The Fox News hosts then quoted a statement found on the website for Penzeys.
“Going forward, we would still be glad to have you as customers, but we’re done pretending the Republican Party’s embrace of cruelty, racism, COVID lies, climate change denial, and threats to democracy are anything other than the risks they legitimately are.”
According to Campos-Duffy, Harris should rename herself “Mean Spice” because “Scary Spice is already taken.”
“This is the strangest event,” she added. “I get it if she goes there, but then to talk about unity while she’s at the meanest spice shop in America, Penzeys Spice.”
Not wanting to be outdone, Hegseth declared, “By the way, this is how the left thinks, by the way. Yes, we need to end divisiveness. And you know how we do that? Everyone needs to think like us.”
“There is no tolerance unless you agree with them,” Campos-Duffy insisted, though she offered zero proof of her thesis.
Fox and other conservative “news” outlets are worried. They know Kamala Harris is ahead in the polls and likely to destroy failed former president Donald Trump in next week’s debate. They can feel it all slipping away from them and they’re terrified the MAGA movement is dying.
MAGA is indeed on life support. And hopefully a decade or two from now it’ll be nothing but a bad memory.
Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg brought the receipts and laid them on the table during an appearance on Fox News to prove disgraced former president Donald Trump’s so-called accomplishments in office were actually just a collection of broken promises.
Speaking with Fox host Shannon Bream, Buttigieg noted that while Trump said in 2016 what he planned to do as head of state, all he really accomplished was lying about everything.
“He kept his promise to destroy the right to choose in this country and he kept his promise on tax cuts for the rich.”
“And if you want to know what a second Trump term would be like, I would start by looking at those rare promises that he actually managed to keep.”
On the issue of abortion and a woman’s right to choose, Buttigieg also pushed back when Bream claimed Trump had “disavowed” wanting a national ban on the procedure.
“Yeah, he’s disavowed a lot of things. I don’t believe him because he lies all the time,” Buttigieg replied.

While he was at it, Buttigieg also suggested that Trump might be congnitively impaired, which is legitimate concern since Donald is 78 and would be 83 if he was elected and served a second term in office.
“Unlike Republicans who in Trump’s personality cult will take a look at Donald Trump and say he’s perfectly fine even though he seemed unable to tell the difference between Haley and Pelosi, even though he’s rambling about electrocuting sharks and Hannibal Lecter … we don’t have that kind of warped reality on our side.”

Donald Trump lies about everything. Are we supposed to believe he has suddenly had a change of heart and is telling us the truth? He doesn’t have a speck of truth in him and deserves to lose in a landslide.
