In a stunning turn of events, former President Donald Trump has lashed out at Fox News, signaling a potential rift with the network that has long been a cornerstone of his media support. Recent Fox News polls reveal a dramatic decline in Trump’s approval ratings, with a staggering 64% of registered voters disapproving of his handling of inflation. Only 34% approve of his economic management, a crushing blow for a leader who campaigned on economic prowess.
The fallout is severe: Trump is down 30 points on inflation and 58% of voters are dissatisfied with his overall economic performance. Even on immigration—a topic he once dominated—his approval has plummeted, with recent polls showing him underwater by as much as 24 points among independents. This is particularly alarming as immigration has historically been one of Trump’s strongest issues.
Trump’s response has been predictably combative. He took to social media to accuse Fox of bias, claiming they have been “wrong and negative” towards him for years. This outburst is indicative of a deeper crisis within Trump’s camp, as even his most ardent supporters, like Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene, are beginning to voice concerns over his foreign policy stance.
As public frustration mounts, the implications for Trump’s political future are dire. With a net approval rating of just 46% and growing dissent from within his own ranks, the question looms: is this the beginning of the end for the “MAGA” movement? As Trump grapples with these plummeting numbers, the stakes have never been higher. The former president finds himself at a crossroads, facing an increasingly skeptical electorate and a media landscape that’s shifting beneath his feet. The question remains—how will he respond to this escalating crisis?
