Trump Calls on Fox News to Remove Jessica Tarlov After Poll Clash

Trump called Jessica Tarlov a real loser and urged Fox executives to take her off the air after she cited approval ratings near 35%, according to reports.

  • In a Thursday Truth Social post, President Donald Trump attacked Fox News host Jessica Tarlov, calling her "one of the Least Attractive and Talented People on all of Television" and demanding Fox executives remove her from the air.
  • Trump's tirade occurred after Tarlov, a Democratic strategist on The Five, cited a 35 percent approval rating during Thursday's broadcast and criticized his policies, including the war in Iran and a $400 million ballroom project.
  • Beyond attacking Tarlov, the president also disparaged conservative media figures Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens, claiming without evidence that their audiences are declining.
  • Tarlov rejected Trump's claims, stating the numbers were "far from fake" and promoting her upcoming book, while legal experts warned that targeting journalists for viewpoints threatens First Amendment protections.
  • Media experts noted this incident reflects Trump's long-standing pattern of attacking female journalists; critics described his behavior as "unpresidential" and unprofessional, undermining press freedom.
