President Donald Trump recently took a jab at Fox News host Jessica Tarlov when he phoned into “The Five” on Thursday. The moment highlights Trump’s disdain for members of the media who challenge him — and it’s concerning.
At one point during the president’s phone interview with the Fox News panel, host Jesse Watters quipped that he wants the president’s next appearance to be in the studio so he can sit next to Tarlov, the resident Democrat on the show, who was absent that day.
“I think you’d be a good influence on her,” Watters said.
Trump said that he wasn’t “a fan” of Tarlov, and he accused her of using “fake” polling numbers. “She’ll give, ‘Well, he’s only polling 42%.’ That’s not right. [I’m] polling very high actually.”
“I’m sure I’d like her, I’m sure she’s a lovely person ... she’s just not for me,” he added.
