The relationship between Donald Trump and his once beloved, and quite frankly essentially state-run, Fox News Network has been teetering on the precipice of a breakup for quite some time now. What was once a network that pretty much praised Donald and reiterated whatever bullshit he was peddling for the day has now begun to rub the president the wrong way as they’ve recently started to stray from their diehard loyalty to Trump and are instead reporting on the truth of the state of our nation — his less-than-stellar place in the polls being a good example.
Today, Trump has been on an all-out Twitter tantrum over pretty much everything — ranging from Puerto Rico and how much money they’re costing him to promotional videos complete with big ol’ swinging bull testicles. And in the midst of his social media rage, he took a moment to disparage the conservative news outlet for no longer kissing his ass in the manner that he prefers.
“Just watched FoxNews heavily promoting the Democrats through their DNC Communications Director, spewing out whatever she wanted with zero pushback by anchor, [Sandra Smith],” Trump’s furious tweet began. “Terrible considering that Fox couldn’t even land a debate, the Dems give them NOTHING! CNN & MSNBC are all in for the Open Border Socialists (or beyond).”

” Fox hires ‘give Hillary the questions’ [Donna Brazile], Juan Williams and low ratings Shep Smith. HOPELESS & CLUELESS! They should go all the way LEFT and I will still find a way to Win – That’s what I do, Win,” he continued in a second tweet. “Too Bad!”

He wrapped up his hissy fit by claiming that Fox News was “letting millions of GREAT people down” and stated that he needs to “start looking for a new News Outlet” since the one-time “Fair & Balanced” network “isn’t working for us anymore!”
….I don’t want to Win for myself, I only want to Win for the people. The New @FoxNews is letting millions of GREAT people down! We have to start looking for a new News Outlet. Fox isn’t working for us anymore!

And, well, several of the folks over at Fox News had a little something to say about that — they don’t work for you, Trump:
Fox News isn’t supposed to work for you. https://t.co/kQDY4UKv8z

Trump ratcheting up vs. Fox News after seeing DNC spox interviewed. Fox “letting millions of GREAT people down! We have to start looking for a new News Outlet. Fox isn’t working for us anymore!” But our job is to cover both sides

Go ahead and draw up your divorce papers, Donald. Looks like Fox News is calling it quits.
