Donald Trump raged at Fox News as Republicans fell to Democrats in the midterm elections, calling their exit poll questions 'BULLS***' and texting Greg Gutfeld live on air.
The President appeared on the network early in the morning for Election Day but began angrily posting to his Truth Social account hours later about their coverage of the contests.
When former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio appeared on Fox just before midnight, Trump was quick to criticize, writing on Truth Social: 'Why does FoxNews have Bill de Blasio, the Worst Mayor in the History of New York City, on air, ranting and raving like a Lunatic.'
Trump then laid the blame for the midterm losses on the conservative-leaning network itself.
'He left the City in disgrace, and the damage he caused was incalculable — It has never been the same, and now he's telling us how to run America. FoxNews bears responsibility for these losses by constantly and consistently putting on the Dumocrat opposition, and worse.'
Trump was in particular enraged by the results of the network's 'Voter Poll' which showed, among other things, 87 percent of respondents concerned about gas prices and 62 percent blaming Trump's policies for them.
'The FoxNews Poll, always the worst, is so insulting with the questions they ask. Every question is a hit job, and every answer is "BULLS***!" This has been going on for years,' he wrote.
It also showed Trump's approval rating at 38 percent, in line with where CBS News and CNN's similar polls found him.

'Watching the Pre-Election Results on FoxNews, but I can't stand Jessica Tarlov's voice — DUMB AS A ROCK, but it's the voice that gets me. Have to go somewhere else until that LOSER is off the air — I'll be back later!'
Trump went as far as to text co-host Greg Gutfeld live on the air, with Gutfeld reading out his message.
'Greg, tell Tarlov - who is the WORST - gas prices are lower than they were for Biden and Obama and they allowed Iran to have the nuclear bomb. Furthermore, I inherited the worst prices and inflation in history from Sleepy Joe. Prices are heading down FAST! Just like all other prices and so is inflation which is 1.7 percent. And there will be no "nuclear bomb."'
Tarlov responded to Trump with a tweet soon after, writing: 'I realize my comments highlighting the highest gas prices on any Election Day aggravated the president, but reality is a tricky thing and he should get better at dealing with it.'
The President also went after the ratings at the conservative leaning network as a whole.
'FoxNews Ratings are way down (27%!) because they're spending too much time covering the Trump Deranged Dumocrats! All of those people who used to watch Fox, and no longer do, get it,' he said.
'It's them, not me — My numbers are better than they have ever been. The new CNN Poll stated that "TRUMP" is at 99% among Republicans and, among Republican Presidents, "TRUMP" is at 53%, compared to Ronald Reagan at 18%, and Abraham Lincoln at 8%! Fox knows this, and so does everyone else!'
He also complained about the network's owners at Fox Corp for donating to the left.
'Also, why is Fox Corp. spending so much money donating to the Worst of the Worst, including Hakeem Jeffries, Jamie Raskin, Ted Lieu, Pete Aguilar, the California Dumocratic Party, the Dumocratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Dumocratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Congressional Black Caucus PAC, the CHC Bold PAC, and the New Dumocrat Coalition Action Fund, among others?'
'No wonder FoxNews Ratings are collapsing, and they're going to go down a lot further. They're way down, not because of me, but because they are AGAINST me! This happened once before, and Fox almost collapsed. It's happening again!'

Meanwhile, Fox News' Jesse Watters was predicting a blue wave and wondering how bad things could get.
'I don't feel great. I feel like I'm about to play a game that I know I'm gonna lose. I'm just trying not to get hurt. And getting hurt would mean you lose the Senate. And right now the Senate is very much in play! And it's making me angry! But I knew this was coming. Everybody knew this was coming. It's just, how bad is it going to be?'
Americans headed to the polls in droves to make their voices heard on a slew of issues, including the cost of living and the war in Iran, while chaos erupted in several key battleground states.
More than 100 million people voted in House and Senate races across the country.

Across the country, in conversations with voters, the Daily Mail has found the cost of living, gas and diesel prices, and disillusion with the Iran war to be the major issues, cutting across party lines.
Much of the frustration is aimed at President Trump, whose approval rating recently sunk to a record low of 36 percent in an average of polls, with disapproval topping 60 percent.
The President embarked on a frenzied last month of campaigning, holding 30 rallies in vulnerable states during October to get the GOP vote out.
However, some believe the gains may be offset by his presence and rhetoric putting off independents, what one expert called a 'red undertow.'
Some Republican candidates walked a political tightrope, embracing parts of Trump's agenda while distancing themselves from him on the Iran war.
