mp’s Blistering Attack on Rupert Murdoch Revealed
Donald Trump’s relationship with Rupert Murdoch, the influential media mogul behind Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, and the New York Post, has been a rollercoaster of alliance and animosity. Reports from March 20, 2025, shed light on a particularly fiery moment in their ongoing feud.
According to RadarOnline.com, Trump unleashed a scathing verbal assault on Murdoch, branding him a “piece of s—” and “cold” in private conversations. This outburst, detailed in Alex Isenstadt’s book The Inside Story of Trump’s Return to Power, highlights a low point in their relationship, which reportedly deteriorated significantly after the 2020 election.
The tension peaked in 2023, roughly two years after Fox News called Arizona for Joe Biden on election night—a move that infuriated Trump and marked the beginning of their rift. Trump’s frustration boiled over as he accused Murdoch of betrayal, even targeting Murdoch’s son James, whom he called “a crazy f—ing liberal.”
This wasn’t just a personal spat; it had political weight. Trump’s team threatened to boycott the first 2024 Republican primary debate if Fox hosted it, and he publicly trashed the network, prompting Fox host Sean Hannity to plead with him to ease up on the attacks for the sake of their mutual interests.
Despite this clash, Murdoch’s presence at Trump’s February 2025 Oval Office event—where Trump signed an executive order for a U.S. sovereign wealth fund—suggests a complex dynamic.
There, Trump faced questions about a Wall Street Journal editorial slamming his tariff policy as “The Dumbest Trade War in History,” yet he claimed respect for Murdoch, admitting they often disagree. The contrast between Trump’s private vitriol and public restraint underscores a relationship driven by convenience as much as conflict, with both men navigating their own agendas in the media and political arenas.
