Trump Trashes ABC
President Donald Trump is blasting ABC News after what he called a “disgraceful ambush” against Vice President J.D. Vance, accusing the network of pushing fake scandals instead of reporting real news.
During Sunday’s broadcast of This Week, host George Stephanopoulos abruptly ended his interview with Vance after the vice president refused to engage in a baseless bribery claim about border czar Tom Homan.
Trump Fires Back: “ABC Fake News Doesn’t Get Questions”
On Tuesday, while meeting with Argentina’s president, Trump made his position crystal clear.
“After what you did with Stephanopoulos to the vice president of the United States, I don’t take questions from ABC fake news,” Trump said firmly.
The clash followed days of tension between the White House and mainstream media outlets that conservatives say are working overtime to discredit Trump’s administration as it tackles the ongoing government shutdown and the border crisis.
Vance Stands His Ground and Calls Out Media Bias
Pressed about whether Homan accepted a $50,000 bribe, Vance pushed back hard.
“You’re focused on a bogus story, insinuating criminal wrongdoing against a man who’s enforcing the law,” Vance said. “Meanwhile, our country is struggling because Democrats refuse to reopen the government.”
Vance later took to X (formerly Twitter), accusing Stephanopoulos of ignoring the real news — from Israel’s peace talks under Trump’s leadership to China’s rare-earth stranglehold and the shutdown’s impact on working families.
“Stephanopoulos doesn’t care about any of that,” Vance posted. “He’s obsessed with a fake scandal involving Tom Homan.”
ABC’s Troubled History With Trump Continues
This isn’t the first time ABC has clashed with President Trump.
Last month, the network suspended Jimmy Kimmel after outrage grew over the comedian’s repeated on-air jabs at Trump. The former president praised the suspension as “a long-overdue correction.”
Earlier this year, ABC and Stephanopoulos settled a defamation lawsuit by issuing a public apology and paying $15 million toward Trump’s future presidential library fund — a rare acknowledgment of media wrongdoing.
Media Bias Exposed Again
The latest confrontation has fired up Trump supporters who say it proves the mainstream media’s anti-Trump agenda is alive and well.
As Trump and Vance continue fighting to secure America’s borders, protect working families, and restore economic strength, the media’s hostility only underscores their message: Washington’s elites fear accountability.
For millions of Americans, this isn’t about one interview — it’s about the battle for truth in the news.
