Trump calls Fox News anchor 'dumb as a rock' over election coverage

pravda.com.ua (Ukrainian) —

US President Donald Trump criticized Fox News for its midterm election coverage and called anchor Jessica Tarlov "dumb as a rock" in a post on his Truth Social platform. Trump said he could not tolerate Tarlov's voice and threatened to switch channels until she leaves the air. He also claimed Fox News ratings are collapsing because the network focuses too much on "crazy Democrats" opposed to him. Trump has a history of insulting journalists, including calling an NBC reporter "dishonest or dumb" in summer and calling a reporter "stupid" in November 2025.
