'Needs to seek professional help': Trump trolled as he calls Fox News 'fake news' in Truth Social rant

PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: In a series of fiery posts on Truth Social, former President Donald Trump launched a fresh wave of attacks against Fox News, accusing the network of favoring guests who criticize him and aligning them with his usual target - the "fake news," as per The Raw Story.

This latest outburst has led to a social media backlash, with critics calling for him to seek "professional help." Late on Saturday, July 6, Trump took to Truth Social to express his frustration with Fox News and some of its guests.

Donald Trump unleashes flurry of attacks towards Fox News

"FoxNews puts on the WORST people, and all done very purposely. John Bussey, a Wall Street Journal Associate Editor, is a real loser who loves to hear himself talk. When he discusses me, he refuses to say, even though he knows it to be true, that everything I got accused of is a Biden inspired HOAX for purposes of Election Interference," Trump ranted.

"He plays right into their web of deceit and deception by not explaining this. Is he a Democrat, or a really dumb Republican? Hard to believe I’m winning by so much with jerks like this stinking up the airwaves. Get rid of him, FoxNews! DJT," he added.

Early Sunday morning, July 7, Trump continued his tirade, posting, "TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME!" followed immediately by, "EVERY ONE OF THE LAWSUITS I AM INVOLVED WITH, INCLUDING THE CIVIL SCAMS, WERE STARTED BY CROOKED JOE BIDEN AND HIS FASCIST GOVERNMENT FOR PURPOSES OF ELECTION INTERFERENCE AND TRYING TO DAMAGE SLEEPY JOE’S POLITICAL OPPONENT."

"THE FAKE NEWS, INCLUDING FOX, HATES TO REPORT THAT BECAUSE IT DOESN’T PLAY INTO THEIR NARRATIVE — BUT THE PEOPLE GET IT LOUD AND CLEAR! IT IS THIS ELECTIONS FORM OF CHEATING. THEY HAVE NO SHAME! BUT FEAR NOT, WE WILL WIN, AND POSSIBLY BY HISTORIC PROPORTIONS. DJT," he asserted.

Trump then shifted his focus to journalists Peter Baker and Susan Glasser, lambasting them as "FAKE OBAMA LOVING 'JOURNALISTS' WHO HAVE NO TALENT AND REFUSE TO WRITE THE TRUTH."

He continued, "BAKER WRITES SO INACCURATELY ABOUT ME THAT HE HAS LOST ALL CREDIBILITY, ALONG WITH THE FAILING NEW YORK TIMES, WHICH AT SOME POINT WILL BE PUT TO REST IN THE GRAVEYARD OF BAD AND INACCURATE JOURNALISM."

His rant against Fox News resumed shortly after, with Trump questioning, "Why does FoxNews keep putting all of these warped Biden Apologists on, one after another, like failed former Congressman Patrick Murphy?"

Notably, Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch has lately distanced himself from Trump.

Last year, Michael Wolff’s book about Murdoch revealed that the media tycoon often wishes that Trump was dead. Murdoch’s television channel backed Trump in 2016, but the 93-year-old is now vehemently opposed to the possibility of a second Trump presidency, according to National Post.
