PALM BEACH, FL — President Donald Trump lashed out at ABC News in a scathing social media post Sunday, calling for the network to fire political commentators Donna Brazile and Chris Christie, whom he labeled “dumb” and “sloppy,” while accusing the outlet of being “highly discredited.”

Trump, writing on his Truth Social platform, questioned why ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos continues to feature Brazile, referencing her 2016 exit from CNN after it was revealed she shared debate questions with Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Trump labeled Brazile “dumb as a rock” and a “liar,” referencing a past interview she did with then-Fox News host Megyn Kelly.

He also turned his ire toward former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, a frequent Trump critic and Republican strategist, branding him “Sloppy Chris Christie” and calling for his removal from ABC’s political coverage lineup.

The president’s comments come amid ongoing tensions between Trump and major media outlets, many of which he continues to call “fake news.” Trump also referenced a $16 million payment he says ABC made to him for “inaccurate” reporting, though no specific details or confirmation of such a settlement have been publicly disclosed.

The post has drawn widespread attention, though ABC News has not issued a public response.

Trump remains a dominant figure in Republican politics and continues to take aim at media organizations and political commentators he believes are aligned against him.
