When Trump sued Murdoch for WSJ Epstein history, he will lose

When Trump sued Murdoch for WSJ Epstein history, he will lose


I am sure, Mr. Murdoch, who has probably buried more scandalous Trump stories he published, testifies to the threat of legal disputes in his sleers.

play

The unfolded Jeffrey Epstein scandal has a frightened and slippery president Donald Trump, who grows his own fans and in a large escalation that Rupert Murdoch, the father of Fox News, threatens to sue Rupert Murdoch.

I would like to see how it works for him.

Trump's trouble in Murdoch comes from a new report on Wall Street Journal about a creepy birthday note, which supposedly sent Trump to Epstein, who died in prison and waited for the sex trade to be passed out. The journal reported that the note contained a drawing of a naked woman with Trump's signature “imitation pubic hair” and the line “May can be another wonderful secret every day”.

If Trump accepts Murdoch over the Epstein scandal, Trump will lose

Trump, of course, denied that he wrote the letter and apparently tried to get the newspaper and Murdoch himself to kill the story. The fact that you have published the story tells me everything I need to know in this case, and it is certainly not the type that is constantly above the public sizes and how great his survey numbers are.

On July 18, Trump posted on social media: “I look forward to making Rupert Murdoch to say in my complaint against him and his” pile of trash “, The WSJ.”

Opinion: Epstein files are so bad for Trump that he calls Maga Base “weaklings”. UH-OH.

Adorable. I am sure, Mr. Murdoch, who has probably buried more scandalous Trump stories he published, testifies to this threat in his slippers.

Murdoch knows Trump and he is certainly not afraid of him

At the beginning of this year, shortly after Trump began his second term as president, he sang a completely different melody next to Murdoch in the Oval Office: “Rupert Murdoch is alone in a class, he is an amazing guy.”

And this is exactly where an excellent example of why Trump's usual planning does not work this time. Murdoch knows that Trump is a shameless opportunist and is certainly not threatened or surprised that the president turns him on. Murdoch also undoubtedly knows that Trump, as a sustainable political figure, exists exclusively due to the sloppy support he receives from FOX News.

If there were no Fox news, there would be no president Donald Trump. FOX News is the primary right-wing media megaphone that has subjected the masses of brainwashing to accept a morally bankrupt, transparent fraudsters as the leader of the free world!

The Epstein scandal is clearly more than Trump can handle

So when Trump is ready to go to war with Murdoch and his media empire against the Epstein scandal, it tells us: whatever is in the Epstein files, it is so existentially bad for Trump that he is ready to give up the Greek choir of Fox News Blabbers, which have long been based on its incessant lies and conspiracy theories.

Opinion: Please stop talking about Jeffrey Epstein. You drive Donald Trump crazy.

As for Murdoch, when he throws petrol on the Epstein fire with the Journal history, I would like to believe that it comes from a place of journalistic integrity, the sunshine is the best disinfectant and the like. But in view of everything that Fox News and other Murdoch real estate did to melt the American brain with a right-wing propaganda, I do not trust the main motivation.

Maybe Murdoch is only ready with Trump and his nonsense

Perhaps Murdoch had it with a clear Trump and his no longer and irregular tariff and unpredictable leadership.

Whatever the reason may be, Trump is devoured into a scandal that he did not equip for extinguishing. He can threaten everything he wants, but if Trump Fox News loses when this network takes the scandal seriously and the journal repeatedly annoys the history of Epstein, this president can say goodbye to a good part of his followers.

That would largely leave him alone.
