the New York Post he no longer supports Donald Trump and makes him feel. As the 76-year-old former president announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election on Tuesday night, the New York Post, a conservative American newspaper, does not even mention his name on its front page on Wednesday. “A Floridian makes an announcement”, we can simply read in a banner, at the bottom of the page.
“I am announcing my candidacy for the presidential election,” Donald Trump said Tuesday night, to thunderous applause from activists gathered in the grand reception room of his luxurious residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
Promising that the United States was “back”, he painted an idyllic picture of his first term, evoking a country at peace, prosperous and internationally respected. On the contrary, he did not have strong enough words to denounce the record of his successor, Democrat Joe Biden.
the New York Post He has long sided with the former president. In 2016, the tabloid said that he supported him in the presidential race. Same support in 2020, during his campaign for his re-election.
“Trumpty Dumpty”
But this is not the first time that the media owned by News Corp, the group of Australian-American media mogul Rupert Murdoch, 91, has criticized Donald Trump. At the end of 2020, while Donald Trump refuses to accept his defeat in the presidential election, the New York Post he asks him to “stop the madness”.
More recently, following the midterm elections, in which the performance of the Republican camp, particularly by candidates nicknamed Donald Trump, was seen as disappointing, Donald Trump was entitled to the full cover of the New York Post.
This time, it was not to praise him: we see the ex-president, with a huge face, wrapped in a shirt and tie ensemble. He is sitting on a brick wall, in reference to that wall that he had promised to erect on the border with Mexico to prevent immigration and “that he did not build.” Everything is accompanied by a scathing title and caption.
“Trumpty Dumpty,” proclaims the headline, a paragraph expanding: “Don (who failed to build a wall) has had a big fall: Will the GOP men ever be able to pick up the pieces?”
The day before, the newspaper had featured Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, re-elected in November, with this headline: “DeFUTURE.”
Strong support for Donald Trump’s strongest potential opponent, so far, in the race for the 2024 Republican nomination.
