Fox’s Rupert Murdoch Decides to Support Donald Trump

New York: Rupert Murdoch is said to have signaled plans to fully back Donald Trump in the general election against Hillary Clinton. Murdoch’s embrace of Trump is a sharp reversal from the hostile view he held over much of the past year. The Murdoch-Trump alliance is the result of at least two private meetings between the billionaires this spring as well as phone calls from Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Murdoch’s view is said to be that Trump is a winner whom the “elites” failed to take seriously. Murdoch “doesn’t like people to be snobs and treat Trump like a clown.”
