President Trump bashed MSNBC host Rachel Maddow and described her network and CNN as the “enemy of the people.”
“Wow! Rachel Maddow has horrible ratings. She’ll be off the air very soon. MSNBC IS CLOSE TO DEATH. CNN HAS REACHED THE BOTTOM. This is a good thing. They are the Enemy of the people!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
The 1:05 a.m. post came hours after Trump held court at a contentious roundtable in California with Democrats, where he slammed their response to the catastrophic wildfires.
“You have emergency powers, just like I do, and I’m exercising my emergency powers. You have to exercise them also,” Trump scolded embattled Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.
Trump, 78, urged Bass to let residents complaining of red tape and long delays begin the rebuilding process after the disaster, which is expected to cost $250 billion.
“I just think you have to allow the people to go on their site and start the process tonight,” Trump said during the roundtable.
Neither network responded to a request for comment.
