Decoding Fox News

Last week Trump declared that the Strait of Hormuz would be open the next day. His personal propaganda network couldn't bend reality enough to tell its viewers the strait was open. Any day now...maybe a year or two.

Jessica Tarlov pointed out that as Americans are struggling with high gas prices Trump is making a lot of money. Trump is heavily invested in oil and gas companies and is aggressively buying and selling stock.

Jesse Watters thinks that Barack Obama doesn't have much of a legacy and that Trump's presidency will be talked about for many years to come. He then mentioned that Trump has sons and grandsons and that Obama only has daughters....so much to unpack with this one. 🤦‍♀️

During an interview with Roop Raj on a local Fox affiliate in Detroit, Michigan Trump made several misleading and false statements about the auto industry and U.S. manufacturing. I've included a brief fact check.

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

The Five has included multiple segments about Trump's odd comments about men's bodies. Jessica Tarlov, the liberal voice on the show, said that most voters are concerned with the affordability crisis not "back end deals."

A protester yelled "Shove that ballroom up your fat ass" to Trump at his rally in Mississippi on Monday night. This clip contains two versions of the moment. The first is how it aired on a livestream. In the second I increased the audio for that moment.

Rachel Campos-Duffy and her co-host Lawrence Jones decided that Barack Obama's support for U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed proves that the former president was always a secret communist. She also implied Ilhan Omar was some kind of sleeper agent.

President Trump was asked about the recent election in Brazil. He responded that he thought it looked like another rigged election. Trump did not provide any evidence that the election was rigged. He just said it looked terrible.

A reporter asked President Trump, "Do you have a further response to Obama who made fun of the Cheesecake Factory, comparing it to the White House and your decorations." Trump gave a fairly long answer.

This is the full Nicki Minaj experience at Trump's rally in Michigan on Sunday. Minaj is not a U.S. citizen and is ineligible to vote in any election. Her chant "when I say Mike you say Rogers," could change everything for Republicans.

Trump seemed stuck in the past and oddly insecure during his recent speech in Georgia. He kept talking about Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders and the 2020 election. He even brought up his time on "The Apprentice."

Laura Ingraham was outraged that Sen. Elissa Slotkin implied that Trump might not leave office when his term is over or that he might pull some shenanigans during or after the midterm elections. I've added some footage from Jan. 6th that Ingraham seemed to forget about.

Brian Kilmeade seems to think that Bill Clinton is steeped in more Jeffrey Epstein bile than anyone else. Pres. Trump was named 38,000 times in the files that were released. His admin. has fought to release the rest of the documents and reveal names of possible co-conspirators.

Dan Bongino coined the phrase "Free Market Healthcare." How does supply and demand work when you need life-saving treatment and the insurance you've paid thousands of dollars in premiums for denies coverage. That's not exactly the unseen hand of the market.

When Laura Ingraham was told that recent polling showed rural voters had soured on Trump she warned her audience that they'd end up eating bugs if they didn't vote for Republicans.

I’ve been so busy I forgot to post this yesterday - My weekly podcast. substack.com/@decodingfox...

President Trump made another unexpected and odd sound during his rally in Iowa on October 22, 2026. I went ahead and added a zoom to that moment. I also slowed the same clip down to 25% speed. I have no idea what is going on with him but he’s had two episodes like this recently.

Last night Trump bragged about how safe he's made Washington DC. On Monday a National Guard deployed in DC member was shot. He should recover. National Guard members were never meant to act as law enforcement.

Even his diehard fans didn't know how to react to Trump's random vocal sound effects

This is a montage of the many protesters who interrupted Trump's speech in South Carolina last night. The president was impressed with a supporter who 'threw a punch' and complimented them on their form. He also said that protesters would get slapped around by their parents.

During his speech in South Carolina on Wednesday night Trump spoke about how pleased he was to rename the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario. He also wants to rename an ocean and a river after himself or America. The leadership at Google told him that he shouldn't rename an ocean.

Matt Towery a 66-year-old pollster said young people won't storm the polls. Some young voters might see a clip like this as a rallying cry.

Sean Hannity clutched his pearls tightly when Troy Jackson said, "Aw, shut up," to Susan Collins during a debate. I've included just a few of Trump's harsh comments to Kamala Harris and the press. Just yesterday Trump repeatedly snapped at a journalist in the Oval Office.

Jesse Watters has worked at Fox News for 24 years and is just now discovering 'fear porn' helps motivate people to vote. Fox News is fear porn 24/7. The network is an emotional roller coaster of paranoia and fear that promotes racism, bigotry and xenophobia.

Last night Trump claimed his speech in Ohio on October 12th was so effective Jon Husted went from being down 10 points in a poll to being up by 2 points. I have no idea where Trump got that information but it does NOT line up with polling published by the New York Times. RECEIPTS

Emily Compagno repeatedly referred to immigrants in France as parasites while discussing the riots and protests.

This is an edit of two outbursts Pres. Trump had at @AndrewFeinberg during a press conference today. I've color-coded the captions for the hearing-impaired. Trump appeared angry after Feinberg's first question then berated him when he tried to ask a second one.

During his 2024 campaign for president Donald J. Trump started telling his supporters that 15 million undocumented immigrants entered the U.S. during the Biden admin. This was an exaggeration. Over time the number grew to 25 million. This is how he came up with it.

This is the first in a series of videos - Promises Made, Promises NOT Kept. Donald J. Trump promised to cut energy prices in half within the first year of his administration. Residential electricity rates have INCREASED since he was sworn in.

Today during a press gaggle President Trump told a reporter that Russia has been fine on Ukraine and hasn't been doing much. I've included an excerpt from a PBS News Hour segment from last week. Russia did not abide by a ceasefire on energy targets in Ukraine.

This short clip demonstrates how President Trump doesn't seem to know how the First Amendment works or what it protects. It's not a crime to protest at one of his rallies. The press is allowed to write negative stories about him.

Jesse Watters said men don’t like it when their wives work. He then backpedaled a bit and said he wasn’t one of those men. I’ve included several old clips where Watters refers to his wife in childlike terms. The dude’s got issues.

Jesse Watters - Paxton has a whiff of corruption around him. I've included a local news segment that includes details about a child sex offender, Adam Hoffman, who was given an extremely light sentence by Paxton's office. Hoffman also did not need to register as a sex offender in Texas.

Sometimes on Fox & Friends producers will include bad polling for Trump. They know Trump is a huge fan of the show. Trump's approval rating regarding inflation has continued to drop since the start of his administration.

This is from Fox & Friends, a program that is not supposed to be an opinion show on Fox News. Kellyanne Conway basically gave her own personal voter guide for multiple Senate races across the country. Fox News is not a legitimate news source. It's Republican propaganda.

Chloe Trapanotto took Islamophobia to a whole new level when she blamed the Ottoman Empire for Christopher Columbus' many abuses of indigenous people in the New World. Columbus wrote about sex trafficking 9 and 10-year-old girls in his journals.

(🚨) BREAKING NEWS: Second Treason Scandal Hits Donald Trump and the White House As 2026 Midterms Approach We must call what’s happening by its name. Click the red button at the link below to read everything at PROOF for free for a week. All of it is *exhaustively* sourced (with links).

Trump encouraged his crowd to violently attack protesters at his rally in Georgia. "She's pushing them around, slapping the guy around." Security guards can remove someone from an event but verbally disrupting a rally is not a crime. The source audio is poor on the clip.

Trump press gaggle 10/15/26 "The Iran War will end very soon, it's going to end very soon, as soon as I want it to end, it will end. . .they'll never have a nuclear weapon," "Oil prices will drop like a rock, so I hope you're enjoying it." Amazing messaging. (sarcasm)

I’ve created a tribute if sorts to the White House Press Secretary career of Katie Zacharia. She’s blonde, her name starts with the letter K. She loves Trump and kinda looks like Ivanka. It wasn’t enough. She’s also NOT an attorney.

During a press gaggle when Trump was leaving Arizona for Montana a journalist asked Trump about Pope Leo's recent lung cancer diagnosis. Trump made the question about himself. The Pope's brother is MAGA. The Pope's brother loves Trump.

This is a brief fact check of part of a press gaggle today Trump held with the press as he was leaving Arizona for Montana. Trump got the vote spread in 2024 for Montana wrong and said multiple false statements about inflation. I've added a buzzer sound along with graphs.

During a press gaggle after his rally in Arizona President Trump called U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed "Mohammad" and said he was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. He also called Mike Rogers "Apple Pie," which seemed like a code word for white.

New record high price for cheddar cheese according to FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data) fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU00...

Jesse Watters decided to dog whistle a conspiracy theory about James Talarico days after it had been debunked. Watters didn't mention a medical facility or show any false evidence but he still gave a nod and wink to a disproven story. This is an edit of a longer segment.

Trump told his most devoted fans that he is 'really popular.' Then he showed an excerpt from a segment on CNN that was taken out of context. Although Trump remains popular with the MAGA base he's lost support in all other demographics including non-MAGA Republicans.
