However, sources have said that their relationship was more out of necessity than an actual friendship.
In fact, one source claims that Murdoch actually “hates” the former president.
Rupert hates Donald Trump, hates him, but Rupert loves money.

Those are two warring things," explained author Michael Wolff (perIndependent).
Trump did go on to lose on the election but has been fixated on claims it was stolen.
Now Murdoch has some advice that the former president likely won’t appreciate.

“The current American political debate is profound, whether about education or welfare or economic opportunity.
And that’s not there anymore,” Michael Wolff told Der Spiegel (perIndependent).
“I think it’s very sad for him.
But you know, what does he feel?
I don’t know.
He doesn’t speak to me anymore.”
