TRUMP VS. THE MEDIA: Jesse Watters Slams ABC for ‘Double Standards’ on Foreign Policy and Corruption Questions

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Jesse Watters Goes All Out on ABC and the Media’s Bias Against Donald Trump — While Disney Cashes in with the Saudis! 😱👇

In a fiery monologue that has already set social media ablaze, Fox News host Jesse Watters didn’t hold back, taking aim at ABC and its alleged double standards when it comes to covering Donald Trump. The broadcast, which aired during prime time, questioned everything from ABC’s treatment of the former president to its parent company Disney’s business dealings with foreign powers.

“Does ABC even know their parent company, Disney, just built a Disney mouse castle in Riyadh?” Watters asked, his tone dripping with incredulity. “So Bob Iger can do business with the prince, but Trump can’t? Come on!”

The host went on to suggest that ABC’s coverage is hypocritical, pointing to America’s long and complicated history with global allies. “Just wait until ABC finds out about our allies like Mexico, Iraq, and the Philippines, just to name a few. They’re not squeaky clean,” he said, referencing past U.S. alliances that have been overlooked or downplayed by mainstream media outlets.

Watters didn’t stop there, turning his attention to China and its role in the COVID-19 pandemic. “Obama hosted Xi Jinping for a steak dinner,” he said. “That guy doesn’t like a general, he just kills them. Where’s ABC on that? China killed a million Americans. Trump called it the China virus and ABC said he was being mean.”

Highlighting the contrast between media coverage of Trump and corporate interests, Watters emphasized the Saudis’ contribution to U.S. interests. “The Saudis have been giving us oil, bases, and intel—and now a trillion bucks. Not a bad ally,” he said. He further reminded viewers that history is full of unconventional alliances, noting that the U.S. was once allied with Saddam Hussein and even Stalin.

Watters’ critique then shifted to ABC reporter Mary Bruce, whom he accused of cozying up to President Biden. “That same ABC reporter used to submit her questions ahead of time to Biden. Look at that,” he said. He claimed that Bruce had given Biden a pre-approved question: “How do you think about your place in history?” Watters used this as an example of media favoritism, arguing that Trump faces far tougher scrutiny than current administration figures.

According to Watters, Trump’s actions have already cemented his place in history. “Trump’s the one actually making history. He stopped the war. He’s helping Gaza rebuild and making the Saudis foot the bill,” he said, suggesting that the former president’s foreign policy achievements are largely ignored—or even criticized—by mainstream outlets like ABC.

Social media reaction to Watters’ monologue has been swift and polarized. Supporters praised him for calling out what they see as media hypocrisy, while critics argue that his comments oversimplify complex global issues. Twitter erupted with hashtags like #DoubleStandardMedia and #WattersOnFire, trending within hours of the broadcast.

The timing of Watters’ critique coincides with increased scrutiny of Disney’s business ventures abroad, particularly in the Middle East. The construction of a Disney theme park in Riyadh has drawn criticism from activists and media observers who question the ethical implications of partnering with foreign governments accused of human rights violations. Watters leveraged this news to question why ABC—and the broader media—appears willing to overlook corporate interests while scrutinizing Trump’s actions.

Watters’ commentary also touched on the broader theme of U.S. foreign policy. By reminding viewers of America’s historical alliances with controversial leaders, he framed Trump’s dealings with Saudi Arabia and other nations as part of a pragmatic, strategic approach rather than something deserving of media criticism.

“Sometimes, the enemy of your enemy is a friend,” Watters said, invoking a phrase often cited in diplomatic circles. He suggested that Trump’s approach to international relations, though criticized by opponents, represents a continuation of long-standing U.S. foreign policy traditions.

Political analysts have noted that Watters’ statements reflect a broader strategy within conservative media to frame Trump as a victim of a biased press. “This isn’t just a critique of ABC; it’s a message to the American public,” said Dr. Laura Thompson, a political communications expert. “By highlighting double standards and corporate connections, Watters is attempting to shift the narrative in Trump’s favor.”

Critics argue that Watters oversimplifies serious issues like China’s role in the pandemic and the complexities of Middle Eastern geopolitics. Nevertheless, his monologue has captured attention and sparked debate, reinforcing his reputation as one of Fox News’ most outspoken personalities.

For Trump supporters, Watters’ comments provide validation for long-held grievances about media coverage. For opponents, they highlight the ongoing tension between mainstream outlets and conservative voices. One thing is clear: in the eyes of Jesse Watters, the story of media bias is far from over, and he’s not afraid to call it out.

What comes next for ABC and Disney? As this story continues to unfold, media observers will be watching closely to see if ABC responds to Watters’ accusations—and whether the public begins to question the relationship between corporate interests and journalistic objectivity.

Watters’ message is unmistakable: in the ongoing clash between Trump and the media, double standards will not go unchallenged, and no ally—or adversary—will escape scrutiny.
