Donald Trump isn’t holding back when it comes to his thoughts on Neil Cavuto’s recent commentary regarding the presidential debate. After Cavuto dared to suggest that Trump “decisively lost,” the former president took to Truth Social, unleashing a firestorm of criticism aimed squarely at the Fox Business host. In colorful language, Trump labeled Cavuto as the “Lowest Rated Anchor” on the network, adding a cheeky preference for “the losers at CNN and MSDNC.” Apparently, losing might be a better option than being labeled as “low-rated” in Trump’s eyes.
Cavuto, during his Wednesday broadcast, had the audacity to claim that while Trump made some solid points about the economy, his overall performance was a bit chaotic. It’s interesting that one of Fox’s own is now under the magnifying glass for giving Trump what some would deem an honest assessment. Cavuto’s assertion that it was a “lopsided” debate may have put a burr under Trump’s saddle, especially given the reality that some pundits and polls favored the Vice President.

Speaking of polls, a CNN flash survey showed that a whopping 63% of those who tuned in believed Kamala Harris surpassed Trump in the debate performance. It’s almost comical that in a time when Trump often refers to CNN as “fake news,” they somehow managed to get a poll that would not play in his favor. A deliberative Fox News voter panel also has reported that 12 of its members favored Harris as the debate winner, leaving only five to shout “Make Debates Great Again” on Trump’s behalf.
Trump didn’t stop at merely calling out Cavuto. He turned his sights on ABC News, accusing the moderators of orchestrating a three-on-one “rigged deal.” For someone who claims to thrive in competition, the former president seems to have a soft spot for calling foul whenever the rules aren’t in his favor. It’s becoming a trend: whenever the debate stage lights up, the term “corrupt news organizations” becomes a go-to phrase in Trump’s defense arsenal.
In a stunning twist of events, Trump’s latest outrage is almost a testament to the resilience of his supporters. While backlash turns in every direction, those who proudly support him seem to be ever more energized by claims of bias and unfairness. As the dust settles from the debate, one thing remains clear: the drama isn’t just confined to the stage—it’s spilling over into the realms of media and social platforms. The show must go on, and as long as Trump has something to say, the commentary will be just as animated off-screen as the theatrics are on it.
