President Donald Trump made headlines Tuesday after posting a sharp message on his social media platform, Truth Social, targeting Fox News contributor Jessica Tarlov. Tarlov, known for her liberal takes on the popular evening panel show The Five, became the focus of a blunt and direct post from the president.
“I can’t stand Jessica Tarlov of THE FIVE,” Trump wrote, calling her a “real loser.” The comment quickly caught fire online, with Trump supporters amplifying his words across various platforms.
The post did not mention a specific comment or exchange that triggered Trump’s reaction, but tensions between Tarlov and her conservative co-hosts have been running high in recent days. On July 24, Tarlov engaged in a heated exchange on-air during a discussion about recently declassified documents tied to the Russia investigation.
During the segment, Tarlov strongly pushed back on claims that the Russia collusion narrative was built on false pretenses by top officials during the Obama administration. She stated, without citing supporting documentation, that Russian President Vladimir Putin “wanted Trump to win.” That claim has long been debated, and recent reports suggest that Russian election interference in 2016 was more chaotic and disorganized than previously believed — with no clear evidence that it favored Trump over Hillary Clinton.
Her comment drew immediate responses from co-hosts Jesse Watters and Kellyanne Conway. Watters noted that the report did not conclude Putin had a preference. Conway argued that the media had played a major role in keeping the Russia collusion story alive without hard evidence for years.
Tarlov then raised her voice, pressing the idea that U.S. intelligence assessments backed her claims. At one point, she accused the panel of “literally going back” and rewriting the facts. The disagreement escalated until all panelists were talking over each other.
The on-air exchange circulated online, and that may have been what prompted Trump’s post.
