Trump Attacks Fox News Host Jessica Tarlov Over Negative Poll Comments
Former President Donald Trump launched a personal attack against Fox News host Jessica Tarlov after she cited unfavorable polling data regarding his presidency during a segment on The Five. In a post on Truth Social, Trump labeled Tarlov as one of the least attractive and talented people on television, criticizing her voice and accusing her of fabricating poll numbers. Tarlov, a former Democratic strategist, had highlighted Trump's low approval ratings, noting that only 35 percent of Americans approved of his performance. She also mentioned public opposition to his policies on tariffs and the war in Iran, as well as the controversial White House ballroom project. Recent polls from The Economist/YouGov and ABC News support Tarlov's claims, showing majority disapproval of Trump's job performance and specific policy decisions. Rather than retracting her statements, Tarlov leveraged the controversy to promote her upcoming book, I Disagree, asserting that Trump's unpopularity is genuine. This incident underscores the ongoing tension between Trump and media figures, particularly female journalists, whom he frequently targets with derogatory comments.
