Fox Takes All Day To Finally Try To Whitewash Trump's Racist Obama Post

Fox tried to ignore Trump's racist post on "truth social" depicting the Obama's as apes, and only after it sparked outrage from some Republicans, did their best to try to whitewash it.

As Mediaite reported, there was no mention of what happened on either Fox News or Fox Business Network until the segment above on Special Report with Bret Baier aired at 6pm eastern time.

Here's the pitiful exchange between host Bret Baier and correspondent Peter Doocy, where they unquestioningly reported that it was a staffer and not Trump who posted the video, while bemoaning that the White House was forced to go "off message" about the Dow and their desire to push Trump's new scam prescription drug portal, TrumpRx.

BAIER: President Trump is congratulating the nation on the big Wall Street numbers. Meanwhile, the White House is engaged in damage control tonight over a posting on the president's social media account that many people are calling racist.

Trump Confronted Over Awful Poll Numbers On The Economy

During a Wednesday interview with NBC Nightly News host Tom Llamas, serial liar Donald J. Trump insisted he was seeing positive polling numbers on the economy. Llamas challenged this claim, pointing out that Trump's economic approval ratings were actually unfavorable.

Once caught in the lie he has repeatedly been spewing, Trump then modified his position, arguing instead that his economic polling ought to be strong.

"And I'm getting, starting to get great polls on the economy, which I think is-, Trump falsely said.

"The polls on the economy aren't, they're not great," Llamas shot back.

"They should be great," Trump said. "They should be."

"So why aren't they?" Llamas asked.

"I don't know," Trump replied.

I'm not sure whether MAGA's eyes, which roll around like dice in their heads, are waking up to this or not, but when Trump's Agriculture Secretary, Brooke Rollins, appeared on NewsNation Now with Connell McShane to suggest that the economy isn't so bad. After all, you can get for a "cost around $3 a meal, a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a corn tortilla, and one other thing," and you're set!

It's no wonder that Trump's approval rating on the economy is in the shitter, and his job numbers are garbage.

Elizabeth Warren Eviscerates Scott Bessent: 'I Don't Know If You Can't Hear Me?'

Sen. Elizabeth Warren refused to let Trump Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent lie about the state of the US economy and pounded him into the ground with the efficiency of a nail gun in plywood as he tried to do so.

The Senator from Massachusetts started her questioning by asking Bessent if he believed Trump when he claimed the affordability crisis was a hoax, a scam, and a con job.

"Is affordability a hoax, a scam, or a con job?"

Bessent tried to gaslight the senator by rewriting Trump's meaning and claiming the media should blame President Biden for Trump's economic problems.

That is a lie since Trump continually claims the US economy is the best in our history, and that's why he called "affordability" concerns a hoax.

When Warren called out Trump's lies about grocery prices going down, Bessent, like an idiot, claimed some items have dropped in price.

WARREN: Last week, President Trump said, quote, we have the groceries going down. Did grocery prices drop in 2025?

BESSENT: Numerous prices have.

WARREN: Did grocery prices drop in 2025?

Numerous grocery prices have gone down.

WARREN: I'm sorry. I don't know if you can't hear me. Did grocery prices drop in 2025?

Sen. Warren then went over statistics issued by the Trump administration.

Grandpa Trump Goes Off The Rails At National Prayer Breakfast

The National Prayer Breakfast is supposed to be nonpartisan, and indeed not an event to use as a battering ram against your perceived enemies. Faith wasn't much of a topic for Trump, as he spoke of his ego, admitting that he had to win the 2020 election "for my own ego. I would've had a bad ego for the rest of my life. Now I really have a big ego." Of course, Trump's speech was littered with an abundance of lies, but he's right about his massive ego.

Trump, a diapered old man who wears lifts in his shoes to be taller, said that now "We have a military where they all look like Tom Cruise."

Of course, he insisted, "We brought back the word 'Christmas." Sure thing, buddy, but children can only have 2 dolls and a few pencils. The Christmas meal can consist of a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a tortilla, and one other thing, according to Trump's Agriculture Secretary, Brooke Rollins.

Trump gave House Speaker Mike Johnson a Christian shoutout, saying, "He'll say to me sometimes at lunch, 'Sir, may we pray?' I'll say, 'Excuse me? We're having lunch."

Oh boy. Trump attempted to introduce the president of the Congo, but forgot his name.
