INSIDER Reveals Murdoch–Trump HATE-FUELED Pact

Rupert Murdoch acquired U.S. citizenship in September 1985, not out of patriotism, but as a mandatory requirement by FCC rules to own broadcast stations and launch the Fox Broadcast Channel. This strategic move, made against his mother's wishes, highlights his purely business-driven approach to national identity and legal compliance.

Murdoch exhausted growth through newspapers; needed to look to television. FCC rules mandated only American citizens could own broadcast stations. He became a U.S. citizen overnight to grease the wheels of the deal to buy the Fox Broadcast Channel.

Murdoch's five marriages and his treatment of his wives, including an abrupt email divorce from Jerry Hall, demonstrate a pattern of emotional unavailability and disposability. This coldness extends to his children, whom he pitted against each other and related to primarily through business, measuring their worth by corporate titles, mirroring his own childhood experiences.

He's on his fifth marriage; treated wives as disposable. His email to Jerry Hall stated, 'this marriage has run its course. Talk to my lawyers.' He treated his children as extensions of his ambition, pitting them against each other and relating to them only through business, equating corporate title with father's love.

The fight for control of the Murdoch empire culminated in a Nevada court battle over the family trust. Rupert attempted to unilaterally hand control to his conservative firstborn son, Lachlan, over his other children, Elizabeth and James, who were seen as more competent but less ideologically aligned. Despite Elizabeth, James, and Prudence initially winning the lawsuit, they ultimately settled for $1.1 billion each, ceding control to Lachlan, revealing the conflict's underlying financial motivation.

Rupert informed his children he would rip up the family trust and hand the company to Lachlan. Elizabeth, James, and Prudence begged him not to. The Nevada probate court ruled in their favor, but they settled for a billion dollars each, handing the company to Lachlan, indicating it was a fight about money, not values.

Murdoch maintains a transactional relationship with Donald Trump, despite personally despising him and calling him 'insane' in emails. Fox News became a cheerleader for Trump, generating billions in profit, even after the January 6th Capitol attack and the $787 million Dominion Voting Systems defamation settlement, demonstrating Murdoch's prioritization of profit over political or ethical considerations.

Murdoch thinks Trump is a failed businessman, erratic, and unstable, yet supports him because Fox News makes billions by being his cheerleader. Emails showed he thought stolen election conspiracy was 'BS.' He was horrified by January 6th, yet brushed it off weeks later. Even after costing him almost a billion dollars in the Dominion lawsuit, Murdoch meets with Trump.
