“I can’t stand Jessica Tarlov of THE FIVE. A real loser!!!” — President Donald J. Trump
Once again, President Trump has set the media world ablaze. This time with a Truth Social post slamming Fox News’ Jessica Tarlov after an emotional gun control segment on The Five.
The moment? Tarlov’s emotional outburst in response to a deadly stabbing spree in New York that left four dead. But for Trump and his supporters, it wasn’t just emotional. It was misleading and political.
Tarlov’s Gun Control Push Sparks Outrage
In the now-viral segment, Tarlov urged stricter gun laws and the return of the federal assault weapons ban, suggesting it had reduced mass shootings in the past. “How did he get a concealed carry license even in Nevada?” she asked on-air, before concluding, “If you stopped this one, we’d have four people alive today.”
Tarlov’s tearful monologue may have tugged at heartstrings, but to Trump, it struck a nerve.
Trump’s Blunt Response: ‘A Real Loser!’
Within hours, Trump fired back with a trademark Truth Social takedown:
“I can’t stand Jessica Tarlov of THE FIVE. A real loser!!! DJT”
But this wasn’t the first time Tarlov landed in his crosshairs.
Earlier this year, Trump described her as “wacky,” “jittery,” and “absolutely terrible.” He criticized her for spouting “knowingly wrong” facts and said her voice was “grating and unendurable.”
