Trump expressed his disdain on his Truth Social platform, stating, "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!"
As reported by The New York Post, Trump's remarks came in the early hours following a heated roundtable discussion in California. During this meeting, he confronted Democrats over their handling of the devastating wildfires that have ravaged the state. Trump, addressing Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, emphasized the need for decisive action, saying, "You have emergency powers, just like I do, and I’m exercising my emergency powers. You have to exercise them also." He urged Mayor Bass to expedite the rebuilding process for residents hindered by bureaucratic obstacles, stressing the urgency of the situation, which is projected to incur costs of $250 billion. "I just think you have to allow the people to go on their site and start the process tonight," Trump insisted during the discussion.

The former president's critique reflects a broader conservative sentiment that often questions the objectivity and intentions of mainstream media outlets. As the nation grapples with natural disasters and political divisions, the role of media in shaping public perception remains a contentious issue.
