Fox News’ Bret Baier Corrects Trump's Truth Social Post On-Air

Screengrab/Fox News Donald Trump had to be called out live on air by Fox News after the 80-year-old president had a meltdown over the network’s reporting on his Iran war.

During Thursday’s Special Report , the program’s chief correspondent, Jonathan Hunt, described how there had been “no significant developments” between the U.S. and Iran to end the now six-month conflict.

Hunt also noted, accurately, that Trump had confirmed there were no plans for talks between the two countries.

Trump, who spends an extraordinary amount of time watching cable news in the White House, then blasted Hunt and Special Report anchor Bret Baier in a Truth Social rant.

“Jonathan Hunt of FoxNews did a particularly inaccurate report on the Failing Islamic Republic of Iran.

I don’t want to meet, they do,” Trump wrote.

“In fact, they are begging to make a deal.

Bret Baier should straighten out his flunkies, for a change! President DJT.” After showing Trump’s Truth Social post on screen, Baier then humiliated the president and corrected him on several fronts.

“First of all, Jonathan Hunt is not a flunky.

He’s a great reporter,” Baier said.

“Second of all, Mr.

President, we didn’t say you wanted to meet.

In fact, we played a soundbite that you didn’t want to meet, and there are no negotiations.

“We said that Treasury Secretary Bessent is hoping to meet with G20 countries to increase the pressure on Iran, and that Gulf state allies, including Qatar, are inside Tehran trying to get Iran to agree to concessions,” Baier added.
