Is Murdoch already planning the beginning of the end for Trump?
Donald Trump has announced that he will file a lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal to report that the American president sent a friendly, obscene letter to Jeffrey Epstein. This wouldn't be newsworthy considering the American president's fury toward the media, but it turns out the newspaper's editor is Rupert Murdoch, one of the architects of his election victory thanks to the constant venom he emits. Fox NewsIt's tempting to paraphrase the film and say it could be the prelude to a great enmity, but the television channel continues to feed the Republican base with its biased programming and tangential contact with reality. Rather, it seems the newspaper has held its own, since when Trump learned they were preparing the story, he asked for it to be withdrawn, but the editorial staff didn't back down, and the information ended up circulating around the world. Murdoch knows that Wall Street Journal It is considered one of the best newspapers in the world because it is a good spokesperson for the world of American money (such as the Financial Times (it is from the City of London). That the magnate continues to commit political mischief with the rest of his media but respects the independence of the newspaper is good news amidst the misfortune.
And, ultimately, it's a symptom of the discomfort Trump provokes in capital circles. Not surprisingly, it's the same newspaper that called the tariff chaos unleashed by the president "the stupidest trade war in history." wishful thinkingBut this crisis with a traditional ally could indicate that the wheels of financial power have already begun to turn to liquidate Trump, given his manifest instability and impulsiveness as dangerous as it is ill-informed. The tragedy is that perhaps his replacement will be JD Vance, potentially even more dangerous, as he is more cynical and calculating.
