Former Republican President Donald Trump is faring poorly in recent polling about the 2024 election and nobody seems more upset about it than Fox News.

After reporting on Trump's poor numbers, the hosts of the Fox's morning show Fox & Friends immediately went into damage control mode, racing to mollify the former President.

All but personally apologizing for Trump's bad polling numbers, co-host Brian Kilmeade begged Trump not to kill the messenger in a display many on social media are called "pathetic."

See the moment below:

The poll, conducted by CNN, revealed 55% of Republicans don't want Trump anywhere near the White House again and hope someone else will clinch the 2024 GOP nomination.

After co-host Steve Doocy presented the polling numbers, Kilmeade interjected to make sure Trump wouldn't get too mad at them.

“If the former President is watching, you should know those are just the numbers you are relaying. You didn’t come up with those numbers."

Doocy then repeated CNN conducted the poll, prompting Kilmeade to snark:

"They are right as often as Halley’s Comet comes by.”

Kilmeade seemed to have forgotten the entire reason they'd brought the poll up in the first place—to bash Democratic President Joe Biden by highlighting the poll's number of Democrats who are supposedly "turning on" him.

Doocy, seemingly concerned Kilmeade was going to ruin their anti-Biden moment, replied:

“So, you are saying all we talked about for the last four minutes is not accurate?”

Kilmeade responded by reiterating his message to the former President.

Trump spent part of his day Monday railing against the network on his Truth Social platform.

“I’m just saying, Donald Trump is watching."
"If Donald Trump is watching, just let him know we didn’t come up with that number. That’s what the poll said.”

On Twitter, people cringed hard at the spectacle.










The 55% of Republicans or Republican-leaning voters who don't want Trump to be their 2024 nominee is an increase of six percentage points since the last time CNN conducted polling in February.

President Donald Trump was criticized for his response to the resignation of National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent over the war in Iran, saying the country "posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."

Kent, a former Green Beret and political candidate with ties to right-wing extremists, was confirmed last July in a 52–44 vote to lead the National Counterterrorism Center, where he oversaw efforts to analyze and detect terrorist threats.

Gavin Newsom's Wife Claps Back Hard In Viral Video After Trump Mocks Newsom's Learning Disability

Jennifer Siebel Newsom—the wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom—criticized President Donald Trump after he claimed her husband's dyslexia should disqualify him from being president, calling Trump's comments "extremely ignorant and offensive."

Newsom has frequently spoken about living with dyslexia, a common learning disability that can make reading more difficult and affect spelling and speech. He has said he prefers not to rely on teleprompters because of the condition, and wrote in a recent memoir that, when he was younger, he overcompensated by memorizing “pretentious words.”

Gellar reveals reason for Buffy reboot ax

Sarah Michelle Gellar is finally pulling back the curtain on why Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s planned return was abruptly shut down—and the explanation is raising eyebrows.

In a new interview with People, Gellar pointed to a single Hulu executive who, she claims, simply didn’t like the original series, effectively halting the planned continuation show Buffy: New Sunnydale in its tracks—an ending that feels less like a heroic finale and more like a stake through a vampire’s heart.

MAGA Rep's 'Quinceañera' Dig Aimed At Tejano Star Opponent Backfires Spectacularly

Several studies conducted since 2016 have noted that Republican candidates rely more on fear mongering, hate, and attack adds than their opponents, whether Democrats or third party.

Illinois Democrat Kat Abughazaleh, running for a spot on November's ballot for a seat in the House of Representatives, exploited that trend by launching attack ads against herself. Meanwhile, the National Republican Senatorial Committee drew backlash for using AI deepfake videos in their attacks on Democratic candidates.
