"Real Loser" — Trump Lashes Out at Fox News Host in Fiery Rant, Demands Her Removal

Fox News host Jessica Tarlov has grabbed the headlines after facing strong criticism from President Donald Trump. As part of a fiery post on Truth Social, President Trump recently slammed Shannon Bream, also a Fox News host. While voicing his displeasure against Shannon, the president demanded that Jessica be removed and taken off the air.

The online outburst comes after Rep. Jake Auchincloss, a Democratic Congressman, was seen on a Fox News show alongside Shannon. President Trump accused the representative of spreading Democratic propaganda on the show and criticized Shannon for not calling him out.

The topic of discussion on the show was the SAVE America Act, a President Trump-led bill that seeks to safeguard voter rights and make eligibility for voting stricter. However, voter rights groups have stated that the law will make it difficult for citizens to vote, as there does not seem to be provisions for legal name changes, such as in cases after marriage.

Jessica, who was the second person to face the wrath of the president on his Truth Social post, had received criticism from President Trump during the latter's telephonic interview with The Five, a show for which Jessica is one of the hosts. Though he was not interviewed by Jessica, he did mention her.

“I watch Jessica, and I’m not a fan,” the president said on the March 26 episode of The Five.

“And she uses fake numbers. She’ll give, ‘Well, he’s only polling [at] 42 percent.’ That’s not right. Polling very high, actually. You know, polls are just like -- I hate people that use fake polls because polls are just like bad journalists. You know, bad journalists, they write fake stories. Well, fake polls do damage also. But that’s the thing. I’m sure I’d like her. I’m sure she’s a lovely person,” President Trump added.

The president has criticized television hosts before, with Fox News hosts like Jessica being regular targets of the commander in chief. President Trump had taken a jibe at Jessica in July 2025 as well, when he called her a "real loser." At the time, Jessica was conducting a show with a focus on gun violence in the country, and had advocated for gun control.

Having spent much of Joe Biden’s presidential term accusing the Democrats of vote fraud, President Trump has been trying to push for voter reform for a while. His agenda is going to make it mandatory for voters to produce IDs at polling booths, along with proof of citizenship.

Valid documentation that is indicative of citizenship would be U.S. passports, military service record in the United States military that can verify a place of birth in the country, a valid government photo ID card, and a few others. Having any one of these while voting would be considered a valid proof of citizenship.

The bill does not include a phase-in period, and has no provisions for additional federal funding for any state responsibility it creates. It has also made it difficult for people to opt for mail-in votes, and is opposed to other motor voter laws.

Opposition to the bill has been strong and has received a lot of pushback from voter rights groups, given that it does not account for name changes after marriage, or preserve the voting rights of service members serving abroad, or those who have taken up residence outside the United States.
