Donald Trump reportedly "screamed" at Fox News owner and media mogul Rupert Murdoch earlier this summer over alleged "unfair" coverage of him.
Trump and Murdoch had the "humongous blowup" during a phone call, a new article by Vanity Fair's Gabriel Sherman revealed.
"Trump yelled that Fox's coverage is unfair and the polling is fake," a source told Sherman, adding that "Rupert defended the network's standards and polling."
According to the report, Trump blames Murdoch for airing critical segments about his presidency. Fox News national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin recently independently verified key parts of a bombshell exposé in which advisers close to Trump revealed to The Atlantic that he had called U.S. military heroes killed in combat "losers" and "suckers."

(51,280 posts)Im glad he pissed off his donor, but Im also glad that the donor got pissed off because this is what happens. And I think Republican donors or democratic donors, hell all political donors. Yall need to understand this a little bit. See these politicians that you keep giving cash to. Um, lets think of him as like raccoons. You know, they show up at your back door. They look pretty cute. You know, they give me a little rabbits sometimes, but you know, you aint, you hand them Manila, wafer. You hand him a low cookie of some kind. You hand them a Cracker. They take it with their little hands and they just, they eat it. And then it looks cute. Right? Thats how these donors are with the politicians. Okay. I gave the cute little thing. The little Cracker I gave the cute little politician, the money.
Well, next thing you know, a week from now, that thing not only has come back every night, but now hes starting to bring his friends. I Oh, wow. Okay. I start buying crackers. I guess theres going to be a regular part of my routine. And thats how the doning donating works. Excuse me. You can donate. Um, they started donating on a regular basis. You know, it just becomes part of their routine as part of their business. Now, when this suddenly they decided, you know what? These raccoons again, fat, you know, why am I giving these raccoons, all these crackers. Its not cute anymore. What am I getting from it? Why am I doing this? Raccoons, do something for me. Why arent you listening to me? And thats the point? The raccoon jumps up bites your face off cause raccoon doesnt understand the raccoon. Just, I just want my cookie. Wheres why, why am I not getting a cookie? And now Im pissed off at you. Well, yeah, Trump is the rabid raccoon. In this situation, he went up to Adelson and said, Hey man, you know, wheres, wheres, wheres the cookie. I need the cookie. Why, why is this not happening? And now the Republican party is horrified and they should be because, because this is whats going to be happening from this point forward. And there is no way theyre going to be able to smooth things over with enough donors to save Donald Trump before the election.

What do they think they are, whining and pissing and moaning about every little thing that doesn't go their way. Want to see REAL snowflakes? Just look for the red MAGA hats. There they are!
