Ben Meiselas 0:29
At some point, you can try to put lipstick on an orange turd, but the turd will always surface. In this case right here, Fox viewers are learning that Donald Trump is, surprise, surprise, a complete con artist. And Fox viewers are turning against Donald Trump. We're seeing that on the various Fox posts throughout social media as Fox viewers are flooding the comment sections

Why are Fox viewers turning against Trump?

Ben Meiselas 0:57
That are usually just overly complimentary to Trump and Elon Musk. To the point of being cultishly bizarre. And now we're seeing these comments saying, ugh, I regret voting for him. This is so cringe. Really, you turned America into some Muppet show within days? So people are getting the bad economic data right now. Inflation is surging. Grocery prices rising higher than ever right now. The market is crashing. And Fox is trying their best to promote Elon Musk. So they show this graphic right here and this video. Let me show it to you. Elon Musk's like, I'm a meme now. I'm a meme. And they posted this on their Instagram account. Play this clip.

How is Elon Musk being portrayed by Fox?

Elon Musk 1:43
I am become meme. Yeah, pretty much. I'm just living the meme. It's like there's living the dream and there's living the meme. And it's pretty much what's happening, you know. You're like... Doge started out as a meme. Think about it. And now it's real. Isn't that crazy?
Ben Meiselas 2:06
OK, now they received like literally thousands of responses. And here's what some of the responses said. Turned a serious, respectable country into the Muppet show within days. I regret voting for Trump. This is way too cringe. Elon Musk just caught on a hype mic calling Donald Trump poor. Textbook definition of clowns. Effing cornball. Too drugged up to take his sunglasses off. LMAO, we are a joke. We are currently the laughingstock of the world. Some memes. Beyond embarrassing, our country is a joke with him as president and Trump as king. What the F is he even laughing about? Bro is zooted on Ket. Dog thinks he funny guy at school. And you as a quote news network think this is funny and okay. Sad. Lots of memes depicting Elon Musk as a clown. This is all pathetic.
Ben Meiselas 3:07
This was all a joke and I didn't think everyone would fall for it. But here we are. Is this a panel at Comic-Con? It is officially 1984. Other comments. This guy is a James Bond villain. I guarantee he and Trump will turn on each other eventually. Two egos like this cannot occupy the same space. I hope you saw him showing off with a chainsaw to cut the federal government. No shame, no remorse for all these people now without jobs, heartless. It was a joke to him. Remember, you may need these folks, especially the cancer and medical research. Because, of course, Trump and Doge are gutting cancer research and firing veterans and firing government workers at all levels and trying to get rid of Medicaid and trying to get rid of the Department of Education.

What are the economic criticisms of Trump?

Ben Meiselas 4:02
A lot of bad indicators right now. And it is, I told you so, F around, find out, leopards eating your face. It just is very unfortunate that these brainwashed people ended up dragging the rest of us with them into this freaking mess right now. So sure, they're finding out. But y'all dragged us into this when we tried to tell you, yes, Project 2025 was real. Yes, they're doing these things. And you were like, no, he's not really going to do them. No way. He just says that he just he's a great businessman. No, he isn't. He bankrupted most of his businesses in the past. objectively, just look it up. He bankrupted most of his casinos and most of the companies he worked with went out of business.

How is Trump's business performance being criticized?

Ben Meiselas 4:46
His current company, Trump Media, last year only did about three and a half, $3.6 million in revenue total. Total revenue was under $4 million on $400 million in losses. How do you even do that? How do you lose $400 million? earn in revenue, not profit, not net net, not EBITDA revenue.
