'Losing it while hate-watching Fox': Trump’s Election Night spiral begins early

President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social account as election night analysis started to pour in, and posted a furious rant against Fox News.

"FoxNews Ratings are way down (27%!) because they’re spending too much time covering the Trump Deranged Dumocrats!" he wrote. "All of those people who used to watch Fox, and no longer do, get it. It’s them, not me — My numbers are better than they have ever been. The new CNN Poll stated that 'TRUMP' is at 99% among Republicans and, among Republican Presidents, 'TRUMP' is at 53%, compared to Ronald Reagan at 18%, and Abraham Lincoln at 8%! Fox knows this, and so does everyone else!"

"Also, why is Fox Corp. spending so much money donating to the Worst of the Worst, including Hakeem Jeffries, Jamie Raskin, Ted Lieu, Pete Aguilar, the California Dumocratic Party, the Dumocratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Dumocratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Congressional Black Caucus PAC, the CHC Bold PAC, and the New Dumocrat Coalition Action Fund, among others?" he continued. "No wonder FoxNews Ratings are collapsing, and they’re going to go down a lot further. They’re way down, not because of me, but because they are AGAINST me! This happened once before, and Fox almost collapsed. It’s happening again!"

This tirade earned a round of mockery from commenters on social media.

"Trump is losing it while hate-watching Fox News," wrote Meidas Touch's Acyn Torabi. The official Meidas Touch account backed this up, posting, "Here comes the meltdown…"

"Already crashing out and it’s only 7p EST," wrote Kat Bee of Rolling Stone.

"It’s nice to see him having a horrible election night instead of everyone else. And we’re just getting started," wrote Jeopardy! champion and YouTuber Hemant Mehta.

"The polling flash on the right side of screen on Fox, showing how unhappy voters are with him, has to infuriate him. The numbers look brutal," wrote political analyst Rachel Bade.
