Donald Trump Calls for Fox News Host Howard Kurtz to Retire in Scathing Truth Social Rant
In a dramatic turn of events, former US President Donald Trump has called for the retirement of longtime Fox News host Howard Kurtz, accusing him of not doing enough to defend his reputation. The astonishing outburst came on Sunday, May 5, via Trump’s Truth Social platform, after a heated panel discussion on Kurtz’s show, Media Buzz.
According to the Irish Star, Trump was enraged by a discussion on the ousting of Mike Waltz as his national security adviser, as well as his plummeting approval ratings. The show’s host, Howard Kurtz, was joined by right-wing pundit Ben Domenech and Democratic strategist Leslie Marshall, who clashed on the topic of Trump’s rapidly declining popularity.
It is reported that Trump was particularly incensed by the discussion, which followed a shocking six-word geography comment that led to him being branded the "dumbest president ever". As a result, Trump took to Truth Social to express his discontent, stating: "It is time for Howie Kurtz to retire!" The Irish Star revealed that Trump also claimed he was "weakly defended" by Kurtz and his group.
The Irish Star reported that Trump’s rant continued, with him expressing frustration at the presence of "woke anchors" on Kurtz’s show. "Every Woke Anchor in the Business, people that no one watched from CNN, MSDNC, and others, are plastered all over his show, with all really negative and fake statements, and then I am weakly ‘defended’ by Howie and his group," Trump wrote.
In response to Trump’s criticism, Kurtz hit back, writing: "Lotta trolls out today. I’ve known President Trump for 35 years, and if I hated him he wouldn’t keep giving me interviews. Some people not interested in fairness." The Irish Star also noted that Kurtz’s show wasn’t the only Fox News program to spark Trump’s ire on Sunday.
Hours after his initial rant, Trump took to Truth Social again to attack political strategist Karl Rove, a former White House deputy chief, who appeared on Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy. Rove was invited to discuss Trump’s first 100 days in office and offer insight into how he could improve his approval rating. However, Trump’s response was far from constructive, with him branding Rove a "total loser" and stating: "I don’t need to have Karl Rove of FoxNews to tell me what to do. The guy’s a total Loser who’s been wrong about almost everything!"
As reported by The Irish Star, Trump’s outbursts have sparked concerns about his mental state and ability to cope with criticism. The former President’s approval ratings have been plummeting in recent weeks, and his response to constructive criticism has been called into question.
The dramatic turn of events has left many questioning Trump’s relationship with Fox News and his own mental state. As reported by The Irish Star, Trump’s feud with Kurtz and Rove has raised concerns about his ability to handle criticism and his ongoing influence on the US political landscape.
The incident highlights the ongoing challenges facing Trump as he navigates the complexities of modern politics. According to The Irish Star, Trump’s continued presence on the national stage continues to spark controversy and debate.
