Donald Trump is nursing a fresh grudge against his favorite networks — and he aired it Tuesday morning in front of his half-built ballroom.

Strolling out to inspect his $400 million East Wing project, the president stopped to talk to reporters and quickly turned a question about health care affordability into a bitter complaint about the media — including the conservative outlets that usually carry his every word.

Fuming Trump lashes out after Fox News and Newsmax skip his live event

"That was a big announcement," Trump groused, referencing his Monday health care event. "Got no coverage."

The snub still appears to be eating at him. Neither Fox News nor Newsmax took the event live — a striking omission given the lineup. Trump was joined by former Shark Tank host Mark Cuban and CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz as he announced a major expansion of TrumpRx, his federally run direct-to-consumer drug platform, adding more than 600 generic medications to the site.

"I reduced drug prices by 50, 60, 70, 80 percent, and it gets no coverage," Trump fumed Tuesday. "I think it's — maybe other than medicine itself, like a cure — I think it's the biggest thing to happen in health care ever, maybe."

The president, who turns 80 next month, then launched into a sprawling riff comparing his second-term record to his first.

"In 28 years, they never went down," he said of drug prices. "In my first administration, I got it down one-eighth of one percent — and I thought that was great. The first time, the only time in 28 years that it went down. Now I got it down 50, 60, 70, and even 80%."

The numbers themselves are doing a lot of work. Trump has repeatedly claimed prices have dropped by figures that are mathematically impossible — including a Truth Social post insisting prices had fallen by "500%, 600%, 700%." Experts have also noted that the administration's Most Favored Nation deals — which now cover 17 major drug makers — apply mostly to Medicaid patients, not to Americans on private insurance or Medicare.

That hasn't stopped Trump from declaring himself "the Affordability President" and demanding Republicans hammer the message ahead of the midterms.

Apparently, his favorite networks didn't get the memo.

"We paid the highest price in the world," Trump said Tuesday, before abruptly cutting himself off. "Listen, go have breakfast. Have a good time."

And with that, he turned back toward the construction zone.
