Donald Trump fires back after sharp attacks from Rupert Murdoch’s news outlets

The New York Post’s front cover on Thursday put Trump’s face over the drawing of a boy from a well-known nursery rhyme. The headline: “Trumpty Dumpty.”

Donald Trump has taken to his Truth Social app to lash out at the empire of media magnate Rupert Murdoch, after it had knocked the former president with unflattering coverage in the aftermath of the midterm elections.

“NewsCorp, which is Fox, the Wall Street Journal, and the no longer great New York Post...is all in for Governor Ron DeSanctimonious, an average REPUBLICAN Governor with great Public Relations...”
Trump accused DeSantis of “playing games” about whether he plans to challenge the ex-president for the White House in 2024.

“This is just like 2015 and 2016, a Media Assault (Collusion!), when Fox News fought me to the end until I won, and then they couldn’t have been nicer or more supportive.”
 
Trump may have done his dash with the mainstream republicans.
Ron desantis was one of the few shining lights in the mid term elections.
Trump has put out a pice bagging him.
Its all about Trump, and at some point, he is going to lose a chunk of his supporters.

Former President Donald Trump lashed out Thursday against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and Rupert Murdoch’s media empire, after some outlets propped up DeSantis and blamed Trump for the GOP’s worse-than-expected midterm performance, in the latest sign of growing animosity from the ex-president over DeSantis' rising political stardom.
In a lengthy, rambling statement, Trump took several direct shots at DeSantis, calling him "an average REPUBLICAN Governor with great Public Relations," and once again took credit for DeSantis' rise, claiming the then-congressman was "politically dead" in 2017 before getting a Trump endorsement during his bid for the Republican gubernatorial nomination.

The former president also lashed out at DeSantis for refusing to rule out a 2024 presidential run against Trump when asked by reporters, saying in his statement Thursday, “in terms of loyalty and class, that’s really not the right answer.”

Being Pi4$ed off because Desantis would not rule out challenging trump is not going to endear him to Florida Gop supporters.
Surely by now his support must be starting to dwindle.

I guess we will find out if and when he decides to nominate.


Being the ego that he is I think he will run and deSantis will beat him.
 
Didn't Trump say he'd declare his intentions on or around the 15th Nov?
He's to front the 6 Jan Committee on the 14th Nov.

Whatever but from Wikipedia some interesting facts to date.

While midterm elections often see the president's party lose a significant number of seats in the U.S. Congress,[10] preliminary results instead saw Democratic Party candidates dramatically overperform these historical trends,[11][12][13] making this the best performance for the president's party since the 1950 U.S. midterm elections.[14] Meanwhile, Republican Party candidates that were backed by Donald Trump or that denied the results of the 2020 U.S. presidential election underperformed significantly.[1][2] Both general turnout and among young voters (18–29) is the second highest (after 2018) of any midterm since 1970.[15][16]

The people in the right wing are now free to comment without being targeted by the crazies (conspiracy nuts) and the sheep. It's only going to get worse for him.

Liz Cheney may even be seen as a hero soon.

I think it's turning on Mitch McConnell.
Ran funding terribly. I'd be surprised if it wasn't a bit of collusion to oust Trump from running 2024.

However I've been of the opinion that Trump wouldn't get a second chance anyway. Too old, divisive, did what he needed to, etc.
 
I suspect that most political pundits left and right reckon Trump will lose any election in 2024.
He will drive more support for Democrats and I reckon will split off a % Republicans who will not stand for him in any universe.

The relentless push of legal battles over his efforts to overthrow the last election, his business dealings and his personal life will continue to dog his politics. He can certainly ferment a violent revolution. He can't win a legitimate election.
 
Trump needs to survive a squillion court cases to stay eligible for running in the next election. Probably the most significant would be fall out from the Jan 6th investigations into his role in geeing up his troops to attack Congress.

It seems that the Republicians will end up with a very narrow majority in Congress. What are the chances that half a dozen Republicians decide not to support a motion to close down the Jan 6th Committee ? That they want to see a full and frank inquiry into the events leading up to the attack on Congress ? They don't even have to vote against the motion. Merely abstain. Or not turn up.

Aside from that issue what are the chances the Republician Party splits on supporting Trump. There are already a number of past Trump supporters who have decided he is no longer the best leader for the Party. The results at the mid terms highlight what he has cost them interms of mobilising Democrat voters and turning off independents.
