Trump mentioned his issue with Fox's "endless negative and unedited commercials."
While it was unclear what exactly the President was referring to, that didn't stop Twitter from mocking him.

Trump has been openly fighting with Fox News ever since November, when the network called Arizona for President-elect Joe Biden before any other network.

Some online wondered what unedited commercials Trump could be watching.
Unedited commercials? https://t.co/Bv5ubAZTbB— joanna schroeder (@joanna schroeder)1608137265.0

The irony of a lame-duck President calling a news network "dead" was not lost on Twitter.

It seems the love affair between Donald Trump and Fox News is now just a distant memory.
