PALM BEACH, Florida — President Donald J. Trump reacted to News Corp mogul Rupert Murdoch standing down from his role as CEO today, in a wide ranging, exclusive interview with The National Pulse set to air early next week.
Trump, who has recently been on the receiving end of Murdoch’s influence at Fox News, discussed the issue during a sit down interview at Mar-a-Lago, telling Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam, “I wish him luck,” before lauding the Fox hosts who he says have covered his campaign fairly, as well as using the opportunity to praise the late Roger Ailes.
On Murdoch’s hostility towards him, and the wider Fox News operation, Trump opined: “They pick their opponents – perhaps it’s the globalists – who knows why? He added: “There’s an overhang that you just feel, there’s something missing.”
“Roger Ailes was a great guy and a friend of mine,” Trump said, adding that he was “somebody I respected a lot,” who “did a fantastic job.”
Asked if he thought Murdoch’s stepping down was linked to the Australian’s failed efforts to defeat Trump in the 2024 GOP primary, Trump seemed to agree, explaining: “Well they put everything against DeSanctimonious, and he’s not a talented person. He’s just not a talented person.”
I am sure the only trumpets will tell you why you are wrong
They have already started with me in the tread.
Your not “Special”. The jab was meant for all your Team.
You sounds like ya need a Hug.
Trump goes Trump again.
Not everything in this world needs him to comment on it.
Faux News was destroyed from the inside and Rupert had little to do with it.
His kids destroyed it.
Lol. Whatever. I didn’t realize people on the same side had “teams”.
Trump is facing a lifetime behind bars and you are calling him hedonistic? You and your ilk will get your comeuppance.
Free Republic is one of the most anti-Trump “conservative” web sites around. You all are a very vocal tiny minority.
What is this “Fox” thing you speak of?
Im not anti trump. So idk what you are talking about.
I’m also not anti anyone other than trump. I am for Trump or whoever isn’t the rat. All or nothing sounds great until you realize what nothing really is.

This is why Trump calls him that. This is from a PAC that supports him, But Jill..er..Casey tweeted it a while back loving it. LOL
That ‘eight day creation’ claim is mighty telling…. I did not realize Catholics had that in their doctrine. The Catholics I know have fully embraced evolution.. and they barely acknowledge the days of creation.
“He’s not. He’s worse, and old man Murdoch has no fear that Lachlan will not continue in his father’s foosteps.”
No disagreement on that from these quarters.
