A rare moment of Trump truth-telling: > **[Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)](https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/112644111233618072)** > > Nobody can ever trust Fox News, and I am one of them, with the weak and ineffective RINO, Paul Ryan, on its Board of Directors. He’s a total lightweight, a failed and pathetic Speaker of the House, and a very disloyal person. Romney was bad, but Paul... Why, yes, Donald; you’re quite correct. Nobody can ever trust Fox News! (Apparently, he was triggered by Paul Ryan’s comments on Fox about Trump costing the GOP a lot of winnable elections.) ---

Fox survived previous attacks by Trump, most notably when he lost the 2020 election and they reported on the fact. ---

> [@carrps](#): > > Where Pat Burns once said you can watch your dog run away. For days. Ohhhh… thank you! I’ve been watching Corner Gas, which takes place in Saskatchewan, and I thought the first 2 lines of the lyrics to the theme song… _You can tell me that your dog ran away,_ _And then you tell me that it took 3 days_ …meant, since the song (and the show) is about not a lot going on in a small town, that someone tells a story about their dog running away and stretches the story out for three days just to have something to talk about. But now that I read your post, I get it-- because Saskatchewan is so flat! 🤦‍♂️ ---
