Trump rages at Fox News after spotting Dem candidate mention on midday show: 'Sleazebag'

President Donald Trump blew his stack after seeing a Democratic candidate for California governor on his favorite TV channel.

The 79-year-old president apparently viewed one of at least four mentions of billionaire Tom Steyer, one of the Democratic candidates vying to succeed Gov. Gavin Newsom, that aired late Wednesday morning on Fox News, and he launched into a Truth Social tirade in response.

"Why is FoxNews showing SLEAZEBAG Tom Steyer, doing a big piece on him right now, and probably putting him 'into play,' instead of talking about Republican Candidates, and really good ones like Steve Hilton, and Republicans?" Trump posted at 12:39 p.m. EST. "How can a Republican expect to win that State, with their Mail In Voting and Rigged Elections, when you have FoxNews promoting the Democrats?"

"Nobody cares about Tom Steyer, he is a LOSER, but Fox is making it possible for a guy like this to win," Trump added. "VOTE FOR STEVE HILTON, AND TURN CALIFORNIA AROUND! President DONALD J. TRUMP."

Steyer, who also ran for president in 2020, released a sweeping immigration plan Tuesday that calls for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement and reversing Trump-era enforcement policies, among other policies intended to protect immigrants and their legal rights.
