President Donald Trump has a well-earned reputation for putting the mainstream media and talking heads that populate it in their place, taking them on head-to-head unlike any other commander-in-chief in our nation’s history. One of many reasons conservatives have remained so loyal to him over the years is his fighting spirit, which he put on full display in a Truth Social post from April 2026, taking down Fox News and especially targeting Democratic co-host Jessica Tarlov.
His takedown of Tarlov was brutal, but it resonated with Fox viewership and the members of the MAGA base, who shared their own thoughts about the less-than-loved co-host of “The Five” in the comment section. President Trump started off by ripping into Shannon Bream, Fox News chief legal correspondent, for her bungling of the Save America Act.
“Tell Shannon Bream of FoxNews that it’s not the Save Act, it’s the Save America Act, a big difference!” the president said at the beginning of his post. “Also, when she insists on having lightweight Democratic Congressmen, such as Jake Auchincloss, on her not-very-hard-hitting show, she should correct them when they spew out Democratic propaganda and lies. She never does!”
He then changes gears and goes on the attack against Tarlov. “For Fox executives only, take Jessica Tarlov off the air. She is, from her voice, to her lies, and everything else about her, one of the worst ‘personalities’ on television, a real loser! People cannot stand watching her. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” he concluded.
And if the comments are any indication, President Trump is right on the money about viewers not liking Tarlov and her extremely biased coverage and opinions on the hot topics of the day. One user, Tiffany, wrote, “He’s not lying. They just hate to hear the truth. Jessica is repulsive.” Steely Beard responded to Tiffany’s post, expressing his agreement with her description of Tarlov.
“Tiffany, I like your straight to the point, concise description of Jessica Tarlov. The only program I watch on Fox routinely is Jesse Watters. I prefer to get my news from Real Americas Voice turn on Steve Bannon‘s show War Room. It comes on the same time as The Five,” he replied. Someone else commented that Fox will do the opposite of what viewers want concerning Tarlov.
“Fox will do the opposite and keep her just because President Trump asked them to get rid of her,” Deborah Austin commented. Lorie replied, “I feel absolutely the same way as Trump has described Jessica…I cannot watch this lady on The Five! She doesn’t have a personality at all! It’s the way she looks at the camera when she talks, it’s the words that comes out of her mouth when she’s talking and this lady thinks when she talks, the viewers care what she has to say when in fact, we don’t care at all what she has to say!! Jessica has to go Bye Bye!!”

Tim McClelland commented that Tarlov needs to go or people will ultimately stop watching the program and the network altogether. “We all do or have stopped watching. It’s DESPICABLE the lies she tells and never, EVER issues corrections, retractions nor apologies. Last week she tried saying President Trump was putting the oil money from Venezuela into his personal accounts.”
