Daily Beast: “President Trump’s influential supporter Rupert Murdoch is telling close associates he believes Joe Biden will win the election in a landslide. The Australian-born billionaire is disgusted by Trump’s handling of COVID-19, remarking that the president is his own worst enemy, that he is not listening to advice about how best to handle the pandemic, and that he’s creating a never-ending crisis for his administration, according to three people who have spoken with Murdoch.”
“In response to an email inquiry for this story asking him if he believes Biden will win in a landslide and his thoughts on Trump’s handling of coronavirus, Murdoch responded, ‘No comment except I’ve never called Trump an idiot,’ referring to a 2018 report that the media mogul called the president a ‘fucking idiot’ following a chat about immigration.”
