Ex-CNN host-turned-independent journalist Jim Acosta mocked President Donald Trump as “needy” for lashing out at Fox News over polls he didn’t like.

Trump melted down at Fox News this week, raging about their highly-regarded polling unit in a social media rant claiming that their polling is “why MAGA HATES FoxNews.”

On Thursday’s episode of The Jim Acosta Show, Acosta told Seneca Project co-founder and Never-Trumper Tara Setmayer that Trump is “pissed at” Fox News because he “can’t fix their polls”:

JIM ACOSTA: Look at the way Donald Trump has just treated the White House and the presidency since then. I mean, he’s on, he is so needy. He’s on Truth Social like in the last 24 hours going after Fox, his own propaganda network, because they won’t give him polls, because he can’t fix their polls.

He basically produces their newscasts, but he’s pissed at them about the polls, that the polls for immigration, “Now a new Fox News poll comes out this morning, giving me a little more than 50% at the border, and yet the border is miraculously perfect.”.

It just goes to show you, you know, maybe he is his own worst enemy, and maybe we’re going to be okay because he’s going to do himself in, but I mean, my God, how needy can you be?

TARA SETMAYER: I mean, the guy is deranged. He’s a maladjusted man child whose mother and father didn’t love him enough. And he never got proper trauma therapy to deal with it. And now we’re all paying the price.

He’s got daddy issues and, you know, JD Vance has mommy issues. And so same thing with Elon Musk, like they all have mommy and daddy issues and we as a society are collectively paying the price because these guys can’t get their shit together.
