Donald Trump Lashes Out After Rupert Murdoch-Owned Media Outlets Pin Blame On Him For Midterm Mess

deadline.com:

Donald Trump very unsurprisingly lashed out at “fake news” and “enemy of the people!” in a series of post-midterm, middle-of-the-night and early morning posts, but his responses differed a bit in that they were coming as some Rupert Murdoch-media outlets were making him the culprit for Republicans disappointing results. “Trump Is The Republican Party’s Biggest Loser,” read the headline of the Wall Street Journal editorial board. “What will Democrats do when Donald Trump isn’t around to lose elections?” the editorial read.

The New York Post featured Trump as “Trumpty Dumpty.” The subhead was, “Don (who couldn’t build a wall) had a great fall — can all the GOP’s men put the party back together again?” This is a rather stark pivot pic.twitter.com/p1fJVzFDhu On Fox News, there was considerable attention to Ron DeSantis’s lopsided victory in Florida, a further irritant to Trump who already has gotten in a few digs to his potential rival for the GOP nomination in 2024.

On her primetime show on Wednesday, Laura Ingraham cited DeSantis’ victory, referring to the strategy for winning as the future of the GOP.

She said that the GOP in 2024 has to be focused on winning and “not just making a point or settling a score.” She also said that if voters “conclude that you are putting your own ego or your own grudges ahead of what’s good for the country, they’re going to look elsewhere.” She didn’t specifically name Trump as that person, but the point seemed to be pretty clear.
