Earlier this week, after he met with Vladimir Putin in Alaska, President Donald Trump ripped MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace.
“She is a loser, with bad ratings, who was already thrown off of The View. She will be fired soon! MSNBC IS DEAD!,” Trump said on Truth Social.
Trump was quote-tweeting a rather crude meme, also on Truth Social, which depicted Wallace as a clown.

Trump appeared to be upset at Wallace for criticizing his demeanor during the Putin meeting, in which she stated that “Putin was the alpha all day long.”
Nicolle Wallace: “Putin was the alpha all day long.” Trump’s entire purpose at the meeting was to be a dutiful lapdog and serve his master. It was as shameful and embarrassing a display of blind obedience as the world has ever seen from a US president. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👇 pic.twitter.com/XgZqz0Esau

Wallace, before her TV career, was an aide in George W. Bush’s White House, and drew on her experience being involved with high-level meetings between the president and foreign leaders.
On her show Monday, per The Daily Beast, Wallace struck back against the president.
Trump, Wallace said, is “furious at anyone that covers the truth about this story and any others.” Also on the show, Wallace pointed out how false Trump’s claims were, in a recent social media post, about mail-in voting.
“We’re going to just cut it right there because all of that is completely false,” Wallace said on the show. “The United States is one of many countries that uses mail-in voting, including Canada, The U.K., Germany, Australia and Switzerland. Also important to note, there’s zero evidence of widespread voter fraud and Trump has been looking,”
Trump’s promised action, per Wallace, represents “an executive order to address one of his longest standing and most dangerous, unfounded delusions: that he didn’t actually lose the 2020 presidential election.”
Despite the memes, it’s not clear whether Wallace’s job really is in danger. MSNBC announced this week that it will change its name to MS Now later this year, as part of Comcast’s spinoff of its cable assets, under which MSNBC will no longer be a corporate sibling of NBC. MSNBC launched in 1996 as a joint venture of NBC and Microsoft, although Microsoft divested itself of the network in 2005.
