Trump snarls at Fox News for not including any of his supporters in election round-up

Sunday morning Donald Trump lashed out at Fox News and suggested the conservative network is intentionally keeping "TRUMPER" voters off the air during interviews on the upcoming 2024 election.

The former president who floods his Truth Social account with screenshots of polls showing him leading either his GOP presidential nomination opponents or President Joe Biden on a daily basis, complained about the Fox Trump voter slight while also sniping at Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R).

On Truth Social, he sarcastically ranted: "FoxNews worked hard today, and were able to find 3 representative voters to go on the show. One was for Crooked Joe, where the person found nothing mentally wrong with him. Another was for Birdbrain, and the 3rd for Ron DeSanctimonious."

He followed that up by boasting about his polls and hinting Fox is knowingly ignoring his supporters.

"Considering that I’m leading Biden by 11 Points (WAPO), and leading the Republicans by over 50 Points, FoxNews must have worked very hard not to find a TRUMPER?"

CNN panel bursts out laughing as GOP operative's boast about Trump's base shot down

CNN's "State of the Union" panel ended in laughter on Sunday after a former President Joe Biden official reminded a GOP operative that Donald Trump has a major problem gaining voters outside his rabid base.

Discussing the potential match-up between the current president and the four-time indicted former president, Republican party campaign adviser Scott Jennings asserted Trump has the advantage because he has a locked-in base.

That led former Biden White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield to point out that Trump can't count on any voters beyond his base because independents are strongly aligned against him.

"What is more likely?" Jennings asked, "That Donald Trump could hold his core base together, or that Joe Biden with his problems with African American voters, with his problems with young voters who think he hasn't kept his promises, could hold its base together?"

"I think it is far more likely that Trump could hold his base again," he asserted.

"But Trump can't speak to the middle like Joe Biden can," Bedingfield interrupted before adding, "So the numbers under your scenario, the numbers can't get Trump there," which led to the laughter from off-screen panelists.

National GOP going all in on early voting — despite Trump’s comments to the contrary

The Republican National Committee (RNC) has launched a “Bank Your Vote” campaign in Florida to encourage Republicans to vote early in next year’s general election — even as the party’s leading presidential candidate, Donald Trump, continues to disparage voting by mail.

Early voting and especially voting by mail have been a regular form of casting ballots in Florida for well more than a decade, among both Republicans and Democrats. But the concept was novel for many voters around the rest of the country when states began implementing it in 2020, as the coronavirus pandemic made people wary of leaving their homes to vote in person.

That led to criticism by Trump and other Republicans that there was something nefarious about early voting.

Trump says he was ‘great’ for Iowa — and asks for big caucus win

FORT DODGE — Former President Donald Trump rallied supporters on Saturday and asked them to repay his kindnesses to Iowa of keeping it the first state in the Republican presidential nomination process and of paying farmers billions of dollars during trade disputes with China in his first term.

He mentioned the payments to farmers several times during his roughly hourlong address to a capacity crowd in the gymnasium of Fort Dodge High School. The gym’s scoreboard time was set to 20:24, with the team scores set to 45 and 47, to signify the upcoming election year, his status as the 45th president and his hope to be the 47th.

“We gave $28 billion to the farmers,” Trump said. “And just so you know, my people have said, ‘Sir, please don’t talk about that so much. It makes you sound very arrogant.’ I said, ‘Wait a minute, I got $28 billion for the farmers!’”

'He will be barred': Watergate prosecutor predicts reversal of Trump's Colorado win

The major legal victory Donald Trump recently scored in Colorado when a judge there kept him on the state's ballot is likely to be short lived, according to a former assistant Watergate prosecutor on Saturday.

The former president celebrated the win at his rally on Saturday, saying the press was having a "meltdown" once it was ruled that he would be placed on the ballot. But legal minds were quick to point out that the judge ruled as a matter of fact that Trump engaged in "insurrection," which could have other ramifications.
