President Donald Trump set social media alight with his savage swing at ABC’s “old timer” Martha Raddatz and the legacy media.
The president managed to hit multiple targets in his fiery post, calling out Raddatz and her “Slopadopolus show” as well as Bob Iger and ABC’s “low rated shows.” His reminder about winning the Catholic vote and a shot at Raddatz for her chronic Trump Derangement Syndrome earned the president applause on X.
“SO funny to watch old timer Martha Raditz on ABC Fake News (the Slopadopolus show!) this morning, blurt out that, effectively, Pope Leo’s selection had nothing to do with Donald Trump,” Trump wrote.

“It came out of nowhere, but it was on her Trump Deranged Mind. Remember, I did WIN the Catholic vote, by a lot!” he added.
“Bob Iger should do something about the losers and haters he’s got on his LOW rated shows. It’s time for a change. MAGA!!!” Trump concluded.
Raddatz, co-anchor on “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” was in Vatican City reporting on the election of the first American pope, and expressing how Pope Leo XIV could be a “counterbalance” to the Trump administration.
“And, of course, Pope Francis cared so much about the poor and migrants. Pope Leo does as well. In some ways, will he be a counterbalance for what’s happening in American politics right now and President Trump?” she asked as she spoke with the Archbishop of Chicago, Cardinal Blase Cupich.

“I think he’s going to help complete and complement our political agenda,” Cupich responded. “He’ll talk a lot about the immigrants as well because he knows about the sufferings of people and the real needs that they have for a better life.”
Trump’s epic trolling of Raddatz and the hilarious new nickname for her show set off X where users applauded his masterclass in trolling.
Trump is unfiltered, honest… refreshing!!! ❤️
