Donald Trump bungled an online tirade torching a Fox News host who dared question one of the D.C. vanity projects sucking up all the president\u2019s time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy didn\u2019t Shannon Bream, \u2018Milktoast\u2019 to her friends, show the updated pictures instead of ones that were so old and irrelevant?\u201d the 80-year-old raged on Truth Social after the network mainstay\u2019s Sunday comments about his White House ballroom.<\/p>\n

Trump Drops Dumb Malapropism in Attack on Fox News Host<\/span>STABLE GENIUS <\/p>\n

The word \u201cmilktoast\u201d does not exist. \u201cMilquetoast,\u201d which Trump presumably meant, comes from the comic strip character Caspar Milquetoast. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it as a \u201ctimid, meek, or unassertive person.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Bream, 55, however, enraged Trump by being assertive as she interviewed the newest Senate-confirmed member of his Cabinet.<\/p>\n

She pointed out during an interview with Attorney General Todd Blanche that the president is charging ahead with construction despite a D.C. District Court ruling earlier this month that he must either stop or get congressional authorization to continue. The White House is appealing that decision rather than taking the issue to the House.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy not just go to Congress?\u201d Bream asked Blanche. \u201cWe don\u2019t believe we have to go to Congress,\u201d Blanche, a former personal attorney to the president who\u2019s now the nation\u2019s top prosecutor, shot back.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s post was the second part of a one-two online attack after Bream\u2019s show aired on Sunday morning. In his first post, he moaned that \u201cwatching Fox News with Shannon Bream is always like watching the Worst of Fake News CNN\u201d while falsely claiming that her ratings had started to \u201cfall.\u201d In his second, he went even further, bizarrely suggesting that \u201cher show, Fox News Sunday, is so biased against MAGA, \u2018TRUMP,\u2019 and Republicans, that it is ridiculous!\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the first time Trump has gone for the host\u2014nor lost the spelling bee in doing so. He similarly attacked her as \u201cMilk Toast Shannon Bream\u201d in a vitriolic June Truth Social post for supposedly not doing enough to defend his record on immigration enforcement.<\/p>\n

He also doesn\u2019t reserve it exclusively for her. He\u2019s used it to go after Bream\u2019s fellow Fox mainstay Kayleigh McEnany, who served as his press secretary during his first term. Both women are only two targets in a wider pattern of attacks on female journalists that has included calling CNN\u2019s Kaitlan Collins \u201cthe worst reporter\u201d and telling Bloomberg News correspondent Catherine Lucey to be \u201cquiet, piggy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s continuing fixation with the project and other MAGAfication efforts around the nation\u2019s capital, all deeply unpopular with voters more concerned about his war with Iran and the soaring cost of living at home, has left pundits and pollsters wondering what the president actually trying to lose GOP control of the House and Senate at midterms might look like.<\/p>\n

The Daily Beast contacted the White House for comment on Trump\u2019s Truth Social tirade about Bream. It declined to provide one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
