**Trump Attacks MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace in Social Media Rant**

NEW YORK – Former President Donald Trump has once again turned to social media to lash out at a member of the media, this time targeting MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace in a series of posts on his Truth Social platform.

The tirade began with a cryptic message referring to “Bela,” followed by a doctored image of Wallace, and mocking comments about her career and appearance, circulated by one of Trump’s followers.

Trump then amplified the attack by claiming Wallace is a “loser” with “bad ratings” who “was already thrown off of The View,” adding, “She will be fired soon! MSNBC IS DEAD!”

The outburst comes on the heels of Trump’s criticism of media coverage surrounding his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday. While Trump previously stated Putin could expect “severe consequences” if he didn’t agree to end the fighting in Ukraine, Trump has since softened his tone, suggesting peace may require territorial concessions from Ukraine.

Trump vehemently criticized the media’s portrayal of his efforts, claiming they “violently distorts the TRUTH when it comes to me.” He accused the “Fake News” and “Radical Left Democrats” of unfairly criticizing him, regardless of his actions. “There is NOTHING I can say or do that would lead them to write or report honestly about me,” he wrote.

The former president is slated to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday, fueling further speculation about his stance on the ongoing conflict.
