Donald Trump is Calling for Fox News to Fire Karl Rove

https://www.politicususa.com/2021/03/04/donald-trump-is-calling-for-fox-news-to-fire-karl-rove.html

"SNIP.....

Over the last 28 years, Republicans have won the popular vote just one time in eight tries. Thanks to the electoral college, they still took the White House three of those eight times.

The architect of the one Republican popular vote win was Karl Rove. Rove was a long-time strategist for George W. Bush and he now works as a commentator for Fox News.

But if Donald Trump has his way, Rove will no longer be working for the network. The 45th president called for the strategist to be fired in a recent fundraising email.

“Karl Rove’s voice on Fox is always negative for those who know how to win. He certainly hasn’t helped Fox in the ratings department, has he,” Trump asked.

We need to warn trump of all the "brains" of the GOP. He'll eat them up and get them out of power like the parasite he is. Who else are the "brains" in the GOP? Trump needs a list.

the "old" Republican scam artists are being replaced with a decidedly worse group of scam artists. And they are the real national security threat.

evil. He got his start putting fliers under windshield wipers at Baptists churches. They said Dubya's Dem opponent for governor of TX was a homosexual.

dump's worst shot is always that such-and-such has bad ratings: shallow, one-track mind.

How much fear does Trump still command at Fox? Will they cashier Rove to stay on Trump's good side, or will they ignore him and hope he moves on to some other shiny object that arrests his attention?

Then he befriends the craziers (morally or mentally) and makes them his posse.
