Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday teased former Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel after NBC News terminated its relationship with her following an internal staff revolt.

The network announced her hiring as a political analyst on Friday, though by Tuesday it had cut ties with the ex-Republican leader. Her tenure featured a contentious interview with Kristen Welker of "Meet the Press," after which network talent criticized her hiring on-air.

"Wow! Ronna McDaniel got fired by Fake News NBC. She only lasted two days, and this after McDaniel went out of her way to say what they wanted to hear," Trump posted on Truth Social. "It leaves her in a very strange place, it’s called NEVER NEVERLAND, and it’s not a place you want to be. These Radical Left Lunatics are CRAZY, and the top people at NBC ARE WEAK."

"They were BROKEN and EMBARRASSED by LOW RATINGS, HIGHLY OVERPAID, 'TALENT.' BRING BACK FREE AND FAIR PRESS - MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN 2024!" he concluded.

McDaniel resigned from her post with the RNC earlier this month following a lengthy pressure campaign from conservatives who were dissatisfied with her leadership and the party's electoral shortfalls during her tenure.
