Fox News Mogul Rupert Murdoch Calls Trump 'Deranged' and 'Bat Hit Crazy' in Searing Editorial

The Rupert Murdoch-owned New York Post wrote a scathing editorial on Friday about Donald Trump, with a cover headline that calls the former president "deranged" and "bat hit crazy."

The editorial centers on Trump's past behavior and reaction to the current real possibility of indictment in the criminal case he's facing in New York related to hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels, with Trump warning of "death and destruction" should that happen.

"He hasn't changed in the slightest. There is no shame," the editorial board wrote. "After riling up rioters, cheering for a coup, and agreeing that his vice president needed to be hanged, he's back to making violent threats against fellow Americans. This is not a felony case, and Bragg trying to turn it into one is pure politics. But rather than seek his vindication in the courtroom, or even just make an impassioned speech, Trump wants to inspire a mob."
