Trump Attacks «Weak, Stupid, and Ineffective» Fox News, «Crying Baby» Van Jones and «Low Rated» Bill Maher in Weekend Spree

The president of the United States spent part of his weekend on Truth Social, posting a series of messages targeting media figures and political opponents, including CNN contributor Van Jones and Fox News, which aired coverage of an interview with California Governor Gavin Newsom on Real Time with Bill Maher. Trump referred to the governor as «Gavin Newscum» and described the HBO host as a «Moron» but «slightly more talented» than Jimmy Kimmel. His posts focused heavily on Maher's interview with Newsom, accusing both men of misrepresenting California's situation while criticizing conservative media for amplifying the segment.

Trump began with a lengthy post criticizing Fox News for platforming Bill Maher and giving visibility to his commentary. He argued that Maher should not be treated as a relevant voice within conservative political discourse and used the opportunity to revisit a past encounter with the host. His message blended personal anecdotes with broader political criticism, portraying Maher as ineffective and unprepared while accusing Newsom of misleading viewers about California's performance. The president also criticized what he described as policy failures in major California cities, referencing homelessness, infrastructure projects, and population trends.

«I hate seeing Fox, and other Conservative Outlets, constantly making Low Rated Bill Maher “relevant” as it pertains to the Republican Party, and beyond. Bill Maher is a weak and ineffective person who I got to know very well during my dinner with him at the White House. He was nervous, scared, and the first words he uttered as he entered the Oval Office were, “Can I have a drink?” It was very endearing but, at the same time, absolutely pathetic. He was much different from what people think but, last night, I happened to watch Gavin Newscum, an admittedly Low IQ person, who said he can't read a speech, is dumb, and essentially, incompetent, and he took Bill Maher “over the coals.” Bill Maher was defenseless, and totally deficient.»

In a follow-up message, Trump continued his criticism of the interview, arguing that Maher failed to challenge Newsom's claims about California's economic and social conditions. He described the exchange as one-sided and accused the governor of presenting misleading information without pushback. The president also turned his attention to Maher's television performance more broadly, questioning his audience reach and suggesting declining relevance. The tone remained consistent with his earlier remarks, combining media criticism with political messaging aimed at undermining confidence in both figures.

«Bill Maher got “eaten up” by Gavin Newscum when Newscum said how well California is doing, A COMPLETE LIE, and Bill Maher never challenged him, not even a little bit. Also, Bill Maher's “Ratings” SUCK! President DONALD J. TRUMP»

The posts also extended to CNN contributor Van Jones, whom Trump accused of hypocrisy over past cooperation on criminal justice reform. The president referenced efforts during his administration to pass legislation, arguing that Jones had previously sought his support when prospects in Congress were limited. Trump framed the interaction as a political contrast, highlighting what he described as his role in securing bipartisan backing while criticizing Jones for subsequent public commentary. The remarks continued a pattern of revisiting past policy achievements while responding to current media criticism.

«When a devastated (he was crying like a baby!) Van Jones of CNN came to me with a group of African American leaders, he had “DEAD” in getting Criminal Justice Reform approved in Congress. Van Jones and these Black reps had been unsuccessfully fighting to get “Reform” for many years. He was just wasting everyone's time – Needed 5 Conservative Senators – there was no chance, or even hope, for a win. I liked some of the people he was with, agreed with what they were saying, and quickly rounded up the votes needed to get CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM approved. It was NOT easy! Nobody else, including Obama, who tried to for years, could have done this! Now I watch this guy, Van Jones, every chance he gets, calling me a “Dictator,” and far worse. He should be ashamed of himself!!! President DJT»
