Trump's handling of Epstein files could ‘tear apart' MAGA movement

Trump's handling of Epstein files could ‘tear apart' MAGA movement

Sky News AU7 days ago
Sky News contributor Kristin Tate argues the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files threatens to divide the MAGA movement completely.
'I will say the Epstein case and the way Trump is handling it, threatens to completely tear apart the MAGA movement and the Republican Party,' Ms Tate told Sky News host Chris Kenny.
'The American people deserve the truth, and more and more voters are agreeing.
'It's not that people are mad at Trump personally, they're just saying, hey, this is something you've promised us on the campaign trail, we want the truth.'

Murdochs launch California newspaper as they grapple with Trump

Amid a tense legal battle between United States President Donald Trump and Rupert Murdoch, News Corp is launching a new right-wing tabloid in Los Angeles. Nick Papps, the weekend editor of Melbourne's The Herald Sun, will become the first editor-in-chief of The California Post, a new daily print product. The announcement comes just one year after Murdoch claimed print papers have as little as 15 years left. The New York Post Media Group announced the launch of the Post's West Coast counterpart overnight. News Corp's Australian boss Michael Miller confirmed Papps' move on Tuesday morning. ' The New York Post is going Hollywood,' the company said in a statement, adding that The California Post will bring the Post' s 'brand of fearless, common-sense journalism' and 'legendary headlines' when it launches next year. A new print product is a rare launch in the publishing industry. Last year, Murdoch predicted that print news has fewer than 15 years remaining, with circulation and print advertising both in structural decline. Loading The paper bragged about its influence in its announcement, stating that President Trump keeps a framed copy of the newspaper's front page outside the Oval Office. Murdoch, global News Corp boss Robert Thomson and the company are facing a legal battle with Trump, after the president sued the Wall Street Journal over a story it published in July, detailing a personal letter with a racy drawing allegedly sent by Trump to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein two decades ago. Trump has sought to have the 94-year-old Murdoch forced to answer questions under oath within weeks, arguing his age and health could rule him out of appearing at any trial, when it comes.

President Trump deems Taylor Swift 'NO LONGER HOT' - again - in lengthy social media post

President Trump took to his Truth Social platform Monday morning to share his thoughts on "Anyone But You" actress Sydney Sweeney after it was revealed this weekend that she is a registered Republican — and Taylor Swift has been caught in the crossfire. "Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the 'HOTTEST' ad out there," Trump's post began. "It's for American Eagle, and the jeans are 'flying off the shelves.' Go get 'em Sydney!," he wrote, referring to the actress's jean ad campaign that caused the "Euphoria" star major backlash last week. POTUS goes on about various "woke" advertisements before bringing the 14-time Grammy winner into the fray. "Or just look at Woke singer Taylor Swift. Ever since I alerted the world as to what she was by saying on TRUTH that I can't stand her (HATE!)," the "Apprentice" alum added. "She was booed out of the Super Bowl and became, NO LONGER HOT." After Swift, 35, was viciously booed at the Super Bowl in February, Trump wrote on Truth Social that night, 'The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving.' Trump has been outspoken about his aforementioned "HATE!" for the Grammy winner since September when she endorsed his foe Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. Monday's musings mark the second time the president has declared Swift "no longer 'HOT.'" "Has anyone noticed that, since I said 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,' she's no longer 'HOT?'" he wrote wrote on Truth Social in May. Just a few months earlier, the reality star-turned-Republican politician had said Swift has "a great star quality." 'I think she's beautiful — very beautiful! I find her very beautiful. I think she's liberal. She probably doesn't like Trump. I hear she's very talented. I think she's very beautiful, actually — unusually beautiful!,' he said in a June 2024 interview.
