In an explosive moment that was recently uncovered, Donald Trump Jr. declared on Newsmax’s The Chris Salcedo Show that he no longer watches Fox News, labeling it a “RINO network” driven by clickbait and biased against conservatives despite efforts to appear unbiased.
His comments align with the President’s Truth Social criticism of Fox for airing an unchallenged interview with Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), who claimed that millions could lose healthcare or face bankruptcy under Republican plans.
For context, Democrats at the time were blocking government funding resolutions over enhanced Obamacare tax credits, with five votes failing to end the filibuster. Reacting to these comments, Trump urged Fox to side with MAGA or risk becoming irrelevant.
Leveling his devastating criticism, Donald Trump Jr. declared, “That’s what happens when you have sort of a RINO network. They want to be loved. They just want the power. They don’t care. It’s about clickbait. I honestly don’t watch it anymore because it is so ridiculous.”
Still not done, the president’s son added, “They try so hard to be unbiased that they’re actually biased towards conservatives at this point. It’s pretty ridiculous. I was banned for 2 1/2 years. I’m barely on anymore. I know my father was banned.”
In a thunderous rebuke posted to Truth Social, the President noted, “Why is FoxNews and Peter Doocy putting on Democrat Senator Mark Kelly to talk about, totally unabated or challenged, Healthcare? The FAKE SPIN is so bad for Republicans that it is hard to believe that we WIN.”
“It will be very unfair, in the future, when they don’t have “TRUMP” to fight for them. Therefore, we should fix it, NOW! I’m watching this Interview. It just doesn’t end. Fox should either get on board, or get off board, NOW, but at this point, it just doesn’t make any difference to me,” Trump asserted.

Likewise, the president argued, “They suck up the Ratings because of us, and then spin them in the Democrats’ direction. They refuse to put up Polls that correctly show me at 65% in Popularity, a Republican RECORD, but if I have a fake bad “Poll,” many of which are done by Fox (One of the worst “Pollsters” out there is the FoxNews Poll), they put them up immediately, and with gusto.”
Concluding his comments with an ominous warning to the network, President Trump stated, “Republicans are so tired of this fight with Fox always trying to be so ‘politically correct!” Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
In another message, written just before the election, he added, “FoxNews keeps putting on Democrat ads, as part of their news program. Their soundbites are almost all of Harris and her Democrat friends, all of whom are on the shows. FOX NEWS IS NOT OUR FRIEND. It’s crazy!”
“The crooked Fox News Polls got the election wrong. I won by much more than they said I would and have been biased against me for years. They are always wrong and negative. It’s why MAGA HATES Fox News, even though their anchors are GREAT,” Mr. Trump wrote, in another post.
