Is President Donald Trump’s long-standing love affair with Fox News waning? Judging by Friday morning tweets, he’s certainly disgruntled with the network.

Trump has long been an enormous fan of Fox News. He also hasn’t hesitated to criticize the network during election seasons, going back to 2016 and his infamous feud with Megyn Kelly.

His latest gripe is a Fox News poll, covered on morning show Fox & Friends, that showed him down to 2020 candidate Joe Biden. “Fox News is at it again,” Trump said, noting how different their coverage is today compared to 2016 primaries.

Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade briefly mentioned the polling — watch that moment above — noting Biden was up by 10 points. Fox host Pete Hegseth, an informal Trump adviser, dismissed the polling as early in the race.

.@FoxNews is at it again. So different from what they used to be during the 2016 Primaries, & before - Proud Warriors! Now new Fox Polls, which have always been terrible to me (they had me losing BIG to Crooked Hillary), have me down to Sleepy Joe. Even considering.....

....the fact that I have gone through a three year vicious Witch Hunt, perpetrated by the Lamestream Media in Collusion with Crooked and the Democrat Party, there can be NO WAY, with the greatest Economy in U.S. history, that I can be losing to the Sleepy One. KEEP AMERICA GREAT!

Team Biden couldn't let this go without comment:

Joe Biden’s social media team made fun of President Donald Trump’s anger over the new polling data showing him falling behind the ex-veep.

Enter the Biden campaign Twitter account, which noticed Trump’s tweets and decided to rub his nose in it:

The tweet from Team Joe:

.@realDonaldTrump, we know you love the polls. We're glad you saw the latest from Fox: Biden 49%, Trump 39. You're losing by ten. Have a nice day.

The second Mediaite article continues:

Also, as a little bonus, Fox Newser Julie Banderas has taken some time to explain to the president how polling works:

That is incorrect. FOX News Opinion Polls are the public’s opinion not of @foxnews Interviews are conducted among a random national sample of 1,004 registered voters. 217 Landline and 787 cellphone numbers were randomly selected for inclusion in the survey.

2. The Have a nice day, needs a classic smiley.

3. i learned today that tRump could lose by 4% of the popular vote and still win

the electoral college vote. Its going to be an uphill battle no matter what the polls say.

6. Yes, we have to win the electoral college, which is why state polls are important. The Ohio

poll yesterday showing Biden beating Trump there by 8 points was great news -- especially since Trump won Ohio by 8 points in 2016. I'm sure that state poll is upsetting Trump, too (if anyone dared tell him about it).

7. You learned incorrectly...

It's almost impossible for Trump to lose by a wider margin than he did in 2016 and still win the electoral college.

I talked about it here.

11. almost is like maybe. nt

4. Love Biden's response!

Take it to him, Joe. Let him stew in his own juices.

[highplainsdem]

13. I do, too.

[question everything]

5. Shows the mistake of the DNC boycotting Fox as hosting a debate

There are many, too many, who view Fox as the ultimate truth and having them conducting a debate may convince some to at listen to a Democratic candidate.

8. I am waiting for trump to say, 'Since you had your debates on the fake news media,

we are going to have the Presidential Debates on Fox. I don't have to agree to debate on liberal propaganda networks. And, if you don't agree, everything's off".

[Princetonian]

9. Boycotting them was a great show of DNC spine.

Their viewers will be forced to watch other channels which can only be good for them.

10. Agree! those that agreed will later find their statements twisted to an unrecognizable gop smear

12. Perfect!! Thanks, highplains!
