'Fake news' on Fox News? Trump criticizes his seemingly favorite news outlet
President Donald Trump lashed out at the media again Sunday night.
Only this time, Trump directed his unhappiness at Fox News, singling out a pair of reporters from his seemingly favorite news outlet for their coverage of the border wall and recent partial government shutdown, assessing that John Roberts and Gillian Turner have “less understanding” than “fake news” reporters from other media organizations.
“Never thought I’d say this but I think @johnrobertsFox and @GillianHTurner @FoxNews have even less understanding of the Wall negotiations than the folks at FAKE NEWS CNN & NBC!” Trump tweeted.
In the same tweet, Trump also referenced a recent NPR/PBS/Marist poll for the second time in less than a week that shows his approval rating among Latino voters at 50 percent, up from 31 percent a month ago: “Look to final results! Don’t know how my poll numbers are so good, especially up 19% with Hispanics?”
Trump’s overall approval rating in the poll was at 39 percent
In a second tweet, Trump added: “After all that I have done for the Military, our great Veterans, Judges (99), Justices (2), Tax & Regulation Cuts, the Economy, Energy, Trade & MUCH MORE, does anybody really think I won’t build the WALL? Done more in first two years than any President! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
While Trump has often criticized the press, both during his presidential campaign and in his first two years in the Oval Office, Fox News has been spared from his claims of “fake news.”
Trump has often granted interviews to Fox News personalities including Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Jeanine Pirro and the hosts of Fox & Friends. During one of his final rallies leading to the 2018 midterm election, Trump invited Hannity and Pirro on stage for speaking roles.
Since agreeing to a deal Friday to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history — at least for three weeks — Trump has faced backlash from some conservatives who believe he lost his first staredown with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Among them, Ann Coulter, who took to Twitter on Friday to voice her displeasure.
“Good news for George Herbert Walker Bush: As of today, he is no longer the biggest wimp ever to serve as President of the United States,” Ann Coulter quipped on Twitter.
Later, Coulter criticized Trump again on “Real Time with Bill Maher” on HBO, telling the show’s host that she expected Trump “to keep a promise he made every day for 18 months.”
“OK, I’m a very stupid girl, fine,” Coulter told Maher.
In an exclusive interview Sunday with The Wall Street Journal during which he expressed skepticism for a border wall deal that would meet his approval before government funding runs dry again on Feb. 15, Trump dismissed Coulter’s criticism.
“I hear she’s become very hostile,” Trump said. “Maybe I didn’t return her phone call or something.”
While placing the odds at “less than 50-50” for a border wall-funding deal, Trump said another shutdown is “certainly an option” and said he wouldn’t likely accept less than his requested $5.7 billion in this round of negotiations.

Trump Sees `Less Than 5O-50' Chance of Border Deal by Deadline
(Bloomberg) – U.S. President Donald Trump said he didn’t believe congressional negotiators would reach an acceptable border-security deal and vowed to build a wall anyway, even if he has to use emergency powers.
Trump said in an interview Sunday with the Wall Street Journal that he doubted whether a group of 17 lawmakers could strike a deal before the next lapse in government funding in less than three weeks. “I personally think it’s less than 50-50, but you have a lot of very good people on that board,” he said.
Trump’s comments came as federal agencies affected by the 35-day partial shutdown began reopening after he signed a stopgap funding measure without the U.S.-Mexican border wall funds, meeting a demand of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
In late December, the president first refused to sign spending bills that didn’t include the $5.7 billion he wanted specifically for a wall. When asked if he would accept less than $5.7 billion in the next round of negotiations, he told the Journal: “I doubt it,” and added, “I have to do it right.”
Earlier Sunday, acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said Trump was prepared to close the federal government again if he and congressional leaders were unable to strike a budget deal that included wall funding.
Trump didn’t want a shutdown, but was prepared to have one or declare a national emergency to get the funding, Mulvaney said on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” one of two talk show appearances.
“He’s willing to do whatever it takes to secure the border,” Mulvaney said. “What he wants to do is fix this the way that things are supposed to get fixed with our government which is through legislation.”
Mulvaney also said on “Fox News Sunday” that Trump would insist on a “wall where we need it the most and where we need it the quickest” that isn’t “a 2,000 mile sea-to-shining-sea wall.”
Trump agreed on Friday to reopen the government by accepting a deal to continue funding – without money for a wall – until Feb. 15 to allow for bipartisan negotiations on a border-security plan. On Saturday, the president again vowed that the wall would be built.
Mulvaney traveled to the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland over the weekend to work on immigration and border issues, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.
Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Friday that they were confident an accord could be reached. They continued to insist there would be no funding for a border “wall,” but pointed to bipartisan support for border security and the potential for funding for other areas of immigration enforcement to get higher funding in a compromise.
“Democrats are against the wall,” Schumer told reporters. “But we agree on many things, such as the need for new technology and the need to strengthen security at our ports of entry. And that bodes well for coming to an eventual agreement.”
House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy suggested on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday that a deal combining money for a border wall and protecting so-called Dreamers – young, undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children – should be pursued.
“They’re both big issues, solve them right now,” McCarthy said.
Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, of West Virginia, also said on CBS that he would push for a “holistic approach” the includes immigration reform. “Just putting money toward a structure is not going to the job,” he said.
Coming off a bruising month in which a majority of Americans blamed Trump and Republican lawmakers for the shutdown, the party seemed anxious to avoid a rerun.
What Trump wants is not unreasonable, but shutting down the government doesn’t provide “good leverage” to get it, Republican Senator Marco Rubio, of Florida, said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
