President Trump ripped “Fox News Sunday” anchor Shannon Bream over on-air guests, charts and polls that he said weren’t reflective of the successful measures undertaken by his administration.

“In any event, Shannon’s ‘show’ is beyond redemption. Fortunately, MAGA, which is close to 100% of the Republican Party, understands that, and watch her ‘Ratings’ start to fall,” the president wrote Sunday on Truth Social.

“Chris Wallace was bad, but Shannon is even worse,” he added, referring to her predecessor.

Trump has had fraught relationships with reporters throughout both of his administrations; however, Fox News has received praise from the president over the years. He has also hired a number of former Fox News personalities for his administration.

CNN has been heavily criticized by Trump, who claims the network is left-leaning and promoting news to tarnish his legacy. He compared the two media outlets Sunday in the post berating Bream.

“Watching FoxNews with Shannon Bream is always like watching the Worst of Fake News CNN. I don’t know Shannon, but she always seems to pick guests, charts, and ‘polls’ that are negative, never talking about all of the incredible things that the Trump Administration has done,” Trump wrote, citing progress with border control, the stock market and military operations in Iran and Venezuela.

His criticism of Bream, a former lawyer, came after her Sunday interview with newly confirmed Attorney General Todd Blanche, whom she questioned about maintaining impartiality and fairness in the midst of Trump’s potential attempts to intervene in legal matters concerning the federal government.

The Fox News host graduated from law school in 1996 and worked as an attorney on cases involving race discrimination and sexual harassment with a firm in Tampa, Fla., before launching her career in television.

“The president would never ask me to do something unethical or illegal. He never has; he never will,” Blanche told Kristen Welker during a Sunday appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” rejecting the narrative of future impropriety.

On Sunday, the president said Bream and “Fox News Sunday” are “biased against MAGA, ‘TRUMP,’ and Republicans, that it is ridiculous!”

Fox News declined to comment on the president’s remarks about Bream.
