Former President Donald Trump reacts to the breaking news of Rupert Murdoch stepping down as chairman at Fox, handing it over to his oldest son, and then taking a new role. The news of Rupert Murdoch stepping down at Fox came somewhat out of nowhere and will be formally announced in November at a shareholder meeting. Now Donald Trump is being asked about it during an interview with the National Pulse and Trump had a lot to say, particularly a little suspicious that "something is missing" about this story.
Trending Politics News did a report on Trump's response to the news about Rupert Murdoch stepping down, and the report included some quotes from Donald Trump, the former president:
The conversation, conducted by Raheem Kassam for The National Pulse, touched upon the media’s stance towards Trump, with a particular focus on Fox News.
Yesterday Fox News announced that Murdoch would step down and become chairman emeritus of the company he established in 1996.
Kassam began by pointing out the perceived hostility of Fox News towards Trump, especially in recent times, and sought Trump’s opinion on Murdoch’s decision to leave. Trump responded, “Well, I wish him luck. We’ve done fine with Fox. We’ve done well with Fox over the years.”
He fondly remembered Roger Ailes, the former chairman of Fox News, as a “great guy” and a personal friend. Trump then alluded to possible external influences on the network’s direction, saying, “They picked their opponents, perhaps it’s the globalists, who knows why.”
Trump explained, “We had the greatest economy in history, we had the strongest border in history, we cut taxes greater than Ronald Reagan.” However, he felt a certain disconnect with the network, noting, “there’s an overhang that you just feel there’s something missing.”
