President Trump on Friday renewed his attacks on Fox News and Fox Business Network anchor Neil Cavuto, charging he “has very bad ratings” while speculating whether Cavuto “will get the same treatment” as former network anchor Shepard Smith, who abruptly left the network in October.
“So @TeamCavuto has very bad ratings on @foxnews with his Fake guests like A.B.Stoddard and others that still haven’t figured it all out,” Trump tweeted.
……..
A.B. Stoddard, an editor and columnist at RealClearPolitics and formerly of The Hill, appears to have set the president off earlier this week by comparing former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s universally panned performance in Wednesday’s Democratic presidential primary debate to some of Trump’s own in 2016.
“I think that Donald Trump had disastrous debate performances,” Stoddard told Cavuto following the Nevada debate. “Many answers were so cringeworthy, you just couldn’t even believe he was still standing on the stage.”
Trump tweeted in response that he “won every one” of the debates, and also went after Cavuto at a Thursday evening campaign rally.
………
The Twitter salvo comes as Fox News anchors Ed Henry and Trish Regan, along with network contributor Richard Fowler, were among those who publicly defended Cavuto.
Henry called Cavuto “an outstanding man” and “an outstanding journalist” while standing up for him on the air, and Regan said she was disappointed in Trump for the remarks, adding that Cavuto deserves better treatment.

If Trump stopped whining about this person or that thing and spent more time working, maybe he could have accomplished much and had been a good president.
But I guess he has to have a villain du jour for his fans to hate. Keeps them engaged.
