President Trump is convinced something strange is going on at his favorite cable news network because the channel isn’t projecting his polls the way he’d like.
In a befuddling tweet, where he points out that Fox News was “against” his former political rival and pet punching bag Hillary Clinton, he suggested that the networks polls are “always bad for me” and barreled host Bret Baier for “More Fake News.”
.@FoxNews Polls are always bad for me. They were against Crooked Hillary also. Something weird going on at Fox. Our polls show us leading in all 17 Swing States. For the record, I didn’t spend 30 hours with @abcnews, but rather a tiny fraction of that. More Fake News @BretBaier

Trump’s been on a tear about his polls lately.
The Trump campaign reportedly fired several of its pollsters after internal polling figures were leaked to the media that showed Trump lagging behind Vice President Joe Biden in key swing states. Trump’s reelection team also reportedly has directed aides to simply deny the accuracy of polls that don’t reflect positively on Trump.
The Fox News poll referenced in the tweet could a reaction to recent numbers that revealed 50 percent of Americans support impeachment or the network’s analysis that shows Trump trailing Biden by 10 points.
“Our polls show us leading in all 17 Swing States.”
Emperor Twitler does not like anyone, even friends (especially friends!), to remind him he wears no clothes.
Better to blame others’ eyesight than his own (moral) nakedness.
And he was a reality “TV Star”?
I think that Fox polls have typically given legitimate results, which is something Trump can’t tolerate. He is obviously feeling more isolated and threatened and Fox “turning” on him is probably more than he can handle. FAKE NEWS, ALL OF IT!!!
Possibly nothing frazzles Trump more than a previously dependable ally wavering and showing signs of pulling back on their support. It drives him batty. As evidenced by his proclivity to banish anyone to the hinterlands for displaying the least bit of disloyalty or doubt. He cannot stand less than total fealty from those professing to be on his team. Waver in the least and you’re a goner.
