Trump forecasts MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace dismissal after heated on-air critique
President Donald Trump has unleashed a digital thunderbolt aimed squarely at MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace.
Over the weekend, Trump took to Truth Social to predict Wallace’s swift exit from MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House,” while also slamming the network as a sinking ship, following her sharp criticism of his recent meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
On Sunday, Trump didn’t mince words, posting a meme that painted Wallace as a clown and sharing a link to an article branding her as a spreader of misinformation.
Trump’s fiery retort on social media
“She is a loser, with bad ratings, who was already thrown off of The View,” Trump declared on Truth Social.
Well, isn’t that a spicy meatball? If ratings are the game, Trump’s betting Wallace is on the losing side of the scoreboard, and he’s not shy about predicting her pink slip is already in the mail.
Trump’s jab came just a day after Wallace tore into him on air, following his high-profile sit-down with Putin on Friday in Anchorage, Alaska.
Wallace’s critique of Trump-Putin meeting
Wallace didn’t hold back, dissecting Trump’s body language during a photo-op with the Russian leader.
“There’s a lot of touching,” she remarked, noting the handshake and extra hand-on-hand gesture. “I mean, everything that over nine years we’ve learned about Trump, this is as fawning as he can be with any public figure he’s ever photographed with.”
Touching, indeed—perhaps Wallace thinks Trump’s diplomacy is a bit too hands-on for comfort, but one might wonder if a firm handshake is really the scandal she’s making it out to be.
Wallace questions Trump’s commitment to allies
In another segment, Wallace questioned Trump’s dedication to democratic values and alliances.
“And to see all that potentially erased by an American president who just doesn’t give a s--- about democracy,” she said. “He doesn’t care about our allies.”
Strong words, but let’s pump the brakes—disagreeing with policy is one thing, but assuming intent is a slippery slope, especially when the conservative view might argue Trump’s approach is about prioritizing American interests over endless foreign entanglements.
MSNBC’s rebranding amid controversy
Adding fuel to the fire, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that MSNBC is set to undergo a rebranding to “My Source News Opinion World,” or MS NOW, as part of Comcast’s spinoff from NBC Universal.
While Fox News Digital reached out to MSNBC for a response to Trump’s fiery comments, one can’t help but wonder if this network overhaul signals deeper troubles behind the scenes. Could Trump’s “MSNBC IS DEAD” quip have a ring of truth, or is this just clever timing on his part?
As the dust settles, this clash between Trump and Wallace highlights the ongoing tension between conservative leaders and progressive media voices—a battle of narratives where neither side seems willing to yield an inch. It’s a reminder that in today’s polarized climate, every handshake, every word, and every meme can become a lightning rod. And as for Wallace’s future at MSNBC, only time will tell if Trump’s prediction hits the mark or if this is just another storm in a very crowded teacup.
