Former President Donald unleashed an attack on Fox News after he said the network aired former First Lady Michelle Obama campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris “over and over again.”
In a post to his Truth Social platform, Trump seemed upset because Fox News did not limit its coverage to his surrogates.
“FoxNews spends far too much time promoting the Democrats, their surrogates, and their agenda,” he wrote. “Today I watched, over and over again, an angry and totally out of control Michelle Obama trying to save the dying Campaign of Comrade Kamala Harris.”
The former president accused Fox News of refusing to share polls that showed him leading in Michigan “by a lot.”

“Fox also plays more negative commercials and ads promoting the other side than is even imaginable,” he ranted. “Our ads on FoxNews are always a big deal to negotiate (They want us to change and weaken our content!), but we put them up on CNN and MSDNC with no problems or changes.”
“It’s hard to believe I’m leading by so much!” he added.
