Donald Trump says Fox & Friends didn't cover rallies that had "thousands of people trying to get in"
“They were all sold out, with thousands of people trying to get in, and are absolutely phenomenal, better than ever!”

President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social on Sunday that Fox & Friends had not covered his recent rallies in Ohio, Alabama, Texas, and Oklahoma, which he described as drawing large crowds and strong support. He also warned that Fox had tried a similar approach before and could face consequences, and he criticized the recent dismissal of longtime Fox financial journalist Maria Bartiromo. The comments come amid Trump’s broader dispute with news organizations over coverage, including efforts to ban CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from White House grounds; a judge temporarily blocked that ban, with a hearing set for Thursday. Separately, former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt will join Fox News as an on-air contributor starting Nov. 1, the network announced Monday.
