Trump explodes at Fox News for midterm elections coverage

( NewsNation ) — President Donald Trump lashed out several times at Fox News on Tuesday for their coverage of the midterm elections .

Trump criticized the outlet's polling results and claimed the network has given ample airtime to Democrats, who are projected to be the majority party in the both the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate , according to NewsNation's election partner Decision Desk HQ.

DDHQ projected Democrats would take control of both chambers as of 11:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday.

"The Fox News Poll, always the worst, is so insulting with the questions they ask. Every question is a hit job, and every answer is {expletive!}," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "This has been going on for years."

Trump followed up that post with more scathing remarks, taking shots at the network's ratings.

"Fox News Ratings are way down (27%!) because they're spending too much time covering the Trump Deranged Dumocrats!" he said. "All of those people who used to watch Fox, and no longer do, get it. It's them, not me — My numbers are better than they have ever been. The new CNN Poll stated that 'TRUMP' is at 99% among Republicans and, among Republican Presidents, 'TRUMP' is at 53%, compared to Ronald Reagan at 18%, and Abraham Lincoln at 8%! Fox knows this, and so does everyone else!"

"Also, why is Fox Corp. spending so much money donating to the Worst of the Worst, including Hakeem Jeffries, Jamie Raskin, Ted Lieu, Pete Aguilar, the California Dumocratic Party, the Dumocratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Dumocratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Congressional Black Caucus PAC, the CHC Bold PAC, and the New Dumocrat Coalition Action Fund, among others? No wonder Fox News Ratings are collapsing, and they're going to go down a lot further. They're way down, not because of me, but because they are AGAINST me! This happened once before, and Fox almost collapsed. It's happening again!"

Trump slams Fox News host Jessica Tarlov over midterms coverage

Trump also targeted Fox News personality and "The Five" co-host Jessica Tarlov, calling her "DUMB AS A ROCK" and reportedly texting co-host Greg Gutfeld to complain about her.

Trump's relationship with Fox News has cooled considerably, despite the network's role in elevating his political profile through his appearances as a guest pundit on "Fox & Friends" and the praise he lavished on it during his first term.

Trump congratulates Democrats on midterm victory

Trump congratulated the Democrats on their midterm success on Tuesday, noting he's looking forward to working with them.

"My message is, congratulations to the Democrats, and I look forward to working with you for the good of our country," he said in a phone call with CBS News.

"I know a lot of Democrats, I have total veto power and I'm sure we'll be able to work things out. I think they're gonna want to work with me. Otherwise I'd just veto everything and they're not gonna want that," he told the outlet.
