President Donald Trump unloaded on Fox News anchor Shannon Bream in a Sunday night post on Truth Social, his second swipe at her that day, after her show aired images of his White House ballroom construction site.
Trump complained that "Fox News Sunday" had shown "months old" pictures of what he called the "Military Complex/Ballroom site," claiming "the hardest work is substantially complete" with work on the "roof/DronePort to begin very shortly."
"Why didn't Shannon Bream, 'Milktoast' to her friends, show the updated pictures instead of ones that were so old and irrelevant?" Trump wrote, using a misspelling of "milquetoast," a term for a timid person. He declared her show "so biased against MAGA, 'TRUMP,' and Republicans, that it is ridiculous" and asked "WHERE IS CHRIS WALLACE?" — the former Fox host who has reportedly moved into the business world as an adviser for RedBird Capital Partners.
The post followed Bream's interview with Attorney General Todd Blanche, in which she pressed him on why the administration is building the ballroom without congressional approval.
"We don't believe we have to go [to] Congress," Blanche insisted.
A federal appeals court has upheld an injunction halting above-ground construction of the roughly $400 million project — the third court to block it — after Trump had the East Wing demolished in October with no congressional sign-off. The administration is asking the Supreme Court to intervene before the order takes effect.
Trump closed by invoking his 2024 win, claiming a "LANDSLIDE" that included all seven swing states, the popular vote and a 312-to-226 Electoral College margin. It was not his first jab at Bream, whom he similarly attacked as "Milk Toast" in June.
