Trump was very unhappy.
President Trump took direct aim at Fox News contributor Jessica Tarlov on Tuesday, calling her a “real loser” in a fiery post on Truth Social—just as she appeared live on the network’s hit show The Five.
“I can’t stand Jessica Tarlov of THE FIVE,” Trump wrote. “A real loser!”
Tarlov, known for echoing far-left talking points on a network millions of conservatives trust, had just suggested that tighter gun control laws could have stopped Monday’s tragic office shooting in New York City.
She then added, “You will never be able to stop all of the lunatics,” in a moment that left many viewers shaking their heads.
President Trump, who has long warned against eroding Second Amendment rights, has been turning up the heat on left-leaning voices in the media—even when they’re on so-called ‘conservative’ networks.
Earlier this month, Trump filed a major lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, another outlet under the Rupert Murdoch umbrella, over what he called “blatantly false and damaging” coverage. He’s also taken issue with Fox News polling and anti-Trump commentary from progressive contributors like Tarlov.
Despite these concerns, Trump maintains a strong relationship with several top Fox personalities, many of whom proudly support his America First agenda. Key allies in the conservative movement continue to use Fox’s platform to speak directly to patriotic Americans and defend common-sense policies that put citizens—and not bureaucrats—first.
As the 2026 midterms approach, Trump’s willingness to speak the truth—even to supposed allies—sends a clear message: the conservative base demands loyalty, common sense, and real solutions—not liberal talking points in disguise.
