Over the past few months, we’ve witnessed the slow decline of the once parasitic relationship between the virtually state-run Fox News Network and Donald Trump.
While Trump has certainly enjoyed and benefited from his torturous feeding off the media outlet as they slip into near irreversible, bat-shit crazy territory for their blind loyalty to him, it seems that Donald’s once-beloved network may finally be pulling the wool from their eyes — and number 45 doesn’t like it. Not one bit.
As recently as Donald’s NATO trip to London, Fox News Network has seemed to err on the side of truth in lieu of their typical outflow of MAGA propaganda.
Trump found himself fact-checked by one of the outlet’s reporters when he attempted to deny any knowledge of the rumor surrounding an American buyout of the UK’s healthcare system that he started himself and was once again humiliated by his favorite network when he claimed he had never met Prince Andrew, who’s at the center of the child-sex trafficking scandal surrounding the deceased Jeffrey Epstein, only to have a picture of himself with the Prince displayed for all his supporters to see on a Fox News segment.

And now it seems, thanks to a new report from Vanity Fair, that Trump is particularly miffed with the network’s support of him regarding his impeachment scandal.
Vanity Fair journalist Gabriel Sherman managed to get the inside scoop from a source described as a “former West Wing official” and explained that Donald is quite heated that his once-beloved, sycophantic network now “only” supports him on the impeachment front most of the time, instead of the 100 percent that Donald has come to expect.
“He’s pissed,” the source told Sherman. “He thinks Fox screwed him.”
While Fox personalities Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, and Sean Hannity have remained blithering Trump sycophants even throughout these damning public impeachment hearings, Donald has still found himself vexed that detractors such as Andrew Napolitano and Chris Wallace have been allowed to use the platform to reveal actual facts that aren’t in Trump’s favor.
“The network’s legal commentator, Judge Andrew Napolitano, declared Trump’s defiance of Congress ‘an impeachable offense’ — a position that directly contradicted the House Republicans’ handpicked witness, George Washington University law scholar Jonathan Turley,” Sherman explains in the Vanity Fair piece. “Trump has also been engaged in a running war with Fox News anchor Chris Wallace; after Trump tweeted last month that Wallace was ‘nasty,’ fellow Foxer Neil Cavuto rushed to Wallace’s defense.”
As a result of Donald’s aggravation with the network’s perceived disloyalty, he’s taken to his Twitter account to disparage the media outlet for not being a bigger defender for him, tweeting out on the 8th, “Don’t get why @FoxNews puts losers on like @RepSwalwell (who got ZERO as presidential candidate before quitting), Pramila Jayapal, David Cicilline and others who are Radical Left Haters? The Dems wouldn’t let @FoxNews get near their bad ratings debates, yet Fox panders. Pathetic!”

Vanity Fair also interviewed an employee of Fox News who, under the condition of anonymity explained of Trump and his impeachment, “He’s clearly worried we’re really going to cover this fairly, and he’s starting to freak. This is about keeping us in line.”
It’s only a matter of time before Trump’s paranoia takes over and we see a massive cleanse of anyone from the Fox News Network who doesn’t have “MAGA” tattooed on their forehead.
