President Trump took a shot at Karl Rover, the former top White House aide turned Fox News commentator, on his Truth Social website late Sunday.
“I don’t need to have Karl Rove of FoxNews to tell me what to do,” Trump wrote on the platform. “The guy’s a total Loser who’s been wrong about almost everything!”
The president’s attack came after Rove argued Trump sounds like “Mr. Scrooge” with his posture on the state of the economy, comments that were first highlighted by Mediaite.
Rove has been a fixture at Fox for years, and Trump has attacked him and the network over his commentary on the channel on several occasions in the past.
Last week, Rove noted the low marks voters are giving Trump on issues like the economy and tariffs while he has a greater approval rating on the southern border and immigration.
Trump “is in bad shape” on the economy, Rove said during a recent Fox appearance.
Last spring, Trump urged Fox to “get rid” of Rove, who worked under former President George W. Bush before joining the network as a commentator.
