Trump brings back misspelled insult to attack Fox News host over militarized White House ballroom
The Independent • • world
Key Points:
- President Donald Trump criticized Fox News’ Shannon Bream on Truth Social for showing outdated photos of the White House ballroom construction, accusing her show of bias against MAGA and Republicans.
- Trump called Bream “Milktoast,” a misspelling of “milquetoast,” continuing a pattern of giving insulting nicknames to media figures he perceives as unfair.
- The outdated footage shown depicted early construction stages from May, while Trump claimed significant progress has since been made, emphasizing the ballroom’s national security importance.
- Federal judges have halted above-ground ballroom construction pending Congressional approval but allowed below-ground work to continue due to its security relevance, a point of legal contention for the administration.
- Trump also expressed frustration with other Fox News hosts, including Brett Baier, for airing polls showing low approval ratings for him, accusing them of promoting “Fake Polls.”
