from Revolver News:
Rupert Murdoch, the Fox News “Daddy” and mastermind behind the New York Post, is having a full-blown meltdown over two of Trump’s cabinet picks: Tulsi Gabbard and Matt Gaetz. So much so that he deployed his media henchmen to write a hit piece designed to guilt President Trump into pulling these two America First powerhouses off the list.
This time, the Post tried a new strategy—they figured flattery might get them somewhere with Trump. The article starts off on the right note, praising Trump’s historic victory (after all, the paper did endorse him) and applauding many of his nominees.

[President Trump] rightly sees his thumping victory in both the Electoral College and popular vote as a mandate — make that a plea — from the people to reverse the disastrous four years of the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration.
His choice of Tom Homan as border czar shows he’s serious about stopping the dangerous, out-of-control migrant crisis.
He’ll have a steady hand at the tiller with chief of staff Susie Wiles, and smart operators in Marco Rubio as secretary of state and Doug Burgum as energy czar.
Rumor has it that Marc Rowan, CEO of Apollo Global Management, is a possibility for Treasury, but others in the mix sound good, too — at least they won’t pursue the free-money, high-inflation, no-growth policies of the Biden years.
And three cheers for the Department of Government Efficiency.
And right on cue, Team Murdoch takes a predictably establishment turn. The Post doesn’t want President Trump to “rock the boat,” so they trot out a list of tired “what ifs” that have always been used to scare Republicans into submission. For decades, this tactic has worked to stop the GOP from pushing back, even as they’ve been battered and bruised by endless Democrat beatdowns.
This is the old-school way of thinking, the same outdated mindset that establishment politicians are programmed to follow in today’s twisted world of US politics.
The Post piece goes on:
Trump shouldn’t be so insistent that recess appointments be used to install his choices.
The recess loophole was introduced at a time before airplanes and telephones, a necessity for making sure the government didn’t grind to a halt because the Senate was scattered across our fledgling nation.
It was not meant to bypass the constitutional balance of powers — nor prevent the Senate from saving a president from himself.
A mass recess appointment won’t save much time, and creates a dangerous precedent.
What will happen when an incoming Democratic president wants to install Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as secretary of the treasury?
It’s bad enough we had Alejandro Mayorkas as Biden’s gormless Homeland Security secretary. What happens when all guardrails are removed?
We can predict what President Trump’s answer might be: Someone else’s problem.
Exactly.
It’s not our problem. Our problem is today, and President Trump has a clear mandate from the American people—they want the boat rocked in a big way.
Now, this next section is the part of the article where we witness the real Murdoch meltdown. Murdoch and his team of agreeable RINOs are so terrified of exposing the Uniparty and taking down the Deep State that they’ve resorted to begging President Trump to reconsider two of his most powerful nominees: Gabbard and Gaetz.
