Trump Attacks Maddow's Ratings, Labels CNN 'Enemy of People'

In response to President Trump's actions during his second term, Rachel Maddow has criticized his decision to halt all public-facing communication from federal health agencies regarding public health issues, including the ongoing bird flu epidemic. Maddow expressed concern over the lack of transparency, questioning if this approach was what the American people wanted. Simultaneously, Trump has publicly attacked Maddow and MSNBC, claiming they have 'horrible ratings' and are 'close to death,' asserting that this is a good thing since he views them as the 'enemy of the people.' Maddow's return to a five-night-a-week hosting role has drawn Trump's ire, as he expressed disdain over her influence and the network's struggles. Furthermore, Maddow controversially compared Trump to Fidel Castro, highlighting his controversial pardons and the potential normalization of those involved in the January 6 insurrection. This exchange marks a continuation of the escalating tensions between Trump and Maddow as she resumes her prominent role in cable news coverage of his presidency.
