Trump May Be Losing Prominent Supporters Like Rupert Murdoch, as He Becomes Unhinged Over Election Loss
As Joe Biden and Kamala Harris edge closer and closer to victory, President Trump is making factually incorrect statements to the media and as a result, he may be losing his most vigilant supporters daily.
Prior to yesterday, the NY Post was one of President Trump’s most loyal media supporters, constantly praising his actions along with Fox News. Just after his disastrous press conference last night, the tabloid published an article criticizing his claims. This is one of the only White House addresses in which Trump’s staff is notably absent, and he is speaking alone, without Vice President Mike Pence at his side.

President Trump may be losing one of his longest-standing supporters, Australian-born American media mogul, and businessman Rupert Murdoch, the founder of Fox News. Rumors that the relationship between the President and the businessman began this summer when Trump allegedly yelled at Murdoch over the phone about how he felt that Fox News’ coverage of his campaign was not supportive enough. Murdoch reportedly retaliated by defending the network’s standards and recent reports.

To make matters worse for Trump, Murdoch predicts that Biden will win the presidency by a landslide and told several news outlets this, including the New York Times and the Daily Beast.
As the election proceeds, we look forward to finding out who the next President of the United States will be and hope that every vote will be counted.
