After being mocked for calling into multiple Conservative news stations on the last night of the DNC, Donald Trump whined about how the move was being covered.
This has been a humiliating week for Trump, who was cut off by Fox minutes into his rant about Harris. After being bumped from Fox, he called into another Trump-friendly news station, Newsmax. Pundits pointed out just how desperate he looked to do so.
According to the former President, it wasn't him who requested the Fox interview; it was the network. He wrote on Truth Social:
"Bret Baier of FoxNews called me, I didn’t call him, just prior to the Kamala Convention speech, and asked me if I would like to critique her after she is finished. I agreed to do so! — I thought it was nonspecific and weak, with no fracking, crime, inflation or anything else of interest even mentioned. Delivery was a C+, with far too many and speedy 'thank you’s' at the beginning. It was 'WEIRD!"
Trump, clearly stung by the fact that the Democratic National Convention got higher ratings than his own convention continued to whine:
"Likewise, I didn’t call other media outlets that asked me to go on, they called me. The Fake News, like often 'gilted' Maureen Dowd of the failing New York Times, wrote incorrectly that I was making the calls. WRONG!!! I don’t have to make calls to go on TV, or anything else — They call me! It’s called Ratings, I guess, and I’m the 'Ratings Machine!"
