Leading Republican Paul Ryan today conceded what he’d awkwardly refused to say for months: he’ll vote for Donald Trump …
I’ll be voting for @realDonaldTrump this fall. I’m confident he will help turn the House GOP’s agenda into laws. https://t.co/LyaT16khJw

But there’s a bigger endorsement to come. You can expect it any day.
Rupert Murdoch said last year that Trump was “embarrassing his friends … [and] the whole country”. He was “talking nonsense” and “losing it” in November. He wondered if he’d “gone too far” in December and questioned his “thin skinned” nature. He told him to “calm down” and “cool it” in February.
But since Murdoch went on post-martial Twitter exile in March (as the “luckiest AND happiest man in world“) the relationship with Trump has also cosied. As Trump told Michael Wolff in a Hollywood Reporter piece published yesterday:
“Rupert is a tremendous guy. I think Rupert is one of the people I really respect and like. And I think Rupert respects what I’ve done … he’s a tremendous guy and I think we have a very good relationship.”
The fix is in. Trump for president.
The ability to work with those whom one loathes & despises is not uncommon – it depends on the size of the fish being fried.
Yes folks, it’s Rupert who decides which political organisation governs Australia, United Kingdom and the United States.
Murdoch went on post-martial Twitter exile? He strikes me as being just as martial regardless of his marital situation.
Smug glib humour aside, I made the exact same typo on my first attempt!
Surely Trump would know . . . . that such a romance would end in tears?
A budding love affair between Trump/Murdoch, quelle surprise.
The inevitable ‘divorce’ will prove entertaining.
Sweet, because if there is one thing in the political sphere that Murdoch is wrong about, it’s everything in the political sphere. Trump’s death knell.
