Trump Attacks Fox’s Neil Cavuto, Paul Ryan And Shepard Smith - And Cavuto Hits Back

Posted by Brian and Ellen -19pc on February 20, 2020 · Flag

Donald Trump was so incensed by comments from a guest on Neil Cavuto’s Your World show today that he rage-tweeted about it this afternoon and raged again at his Colorado rally this evening. He also took gratuitous swipes at former host Shepard Smith and Fox board member Paul Ryan. Classy!

It all started when RealClear Politics associate editor A.B. Stoddard ripped Trump over his “disastrous” 2016 debate performances. While suggesting that Michael Bloomberg’s showing in the Democratic debate last night may not have hurt his chances, Stoddard said that many of Trump’s debate answers “were so cringeworthy you just couldn’t even believe he was still standing on the stage, and he’s president, so I don’t think debates kill off normal candidates who do not have a billionaire juggernaut machine.”

Ooh, that got under Trump’s very thin skin. He tweeted:

Could somebody at @foxnews please explain to Trump hater A.B. Stoddard (zero talent!) and @TeamCavuto, that I won every one of my debates, from beginning to end. Check the polls taken immediately after the debates. The debates got me elected. Must be Fox Board Member Paul Ryan!

To his credit, Cavuto hit back:

CAVUTO: Just to point out, he did not [win every debate]. When you look at polls that came out from Fox, NBC, CNN, Politico, YouGov and a host of others, the initial read was that he had failed to do well in those debates. He ultimately won, but he didn’t poll well in those debates.

Cavuto is correct.

Trump was still whining about Cavuto and Fox during his rally in Colorado later today: “All [Fox’s] high-rated shows are the shows that like Trump. All their loser shows, like Cavuto, are the shows that don’t like Trump.” Then, throwing open his arms, he shouted with triumphant malice, “How is Shep Smith doing lately, by the way?” Trump gloated as the crowd booed. “How is Shep? He had the lowest ratings and now Cavuto took his place, so that’s OK,” Trump added.

By the way, Smith will probably be working at another network as soon as his non-compete clause expires. If we’re lucky, Trump will be the one out of a job by then.

I’ll never forget the cringeworthy debate moment when Trump expressed complete ignorance of what the nuclear triad is. Of course that and other gems never hurt Trump. He was (and remains) a steamroller of ignorance – and the MAGA cult loves him for it.

And yet fox news keeps him positive at all times in spite of a critical glitch LOL

It’s just as well for Putin and Trump’s other billionaire backers/bribers/blackmailers that the man has his Nuremberg rallies to vent all that spleen. His abused and already damaged arteries and organs would have long ago thrown in the towel and succumbed to the poison.
