Roger Ailes on Trump’s relationship with Fox boss Murdoch: ‘I just worry about who’s jerking whose chain”

There is a Fox News-lover in the White House, and the network’s former head wondered “who’s jerking whose chain,” according to a new book.

Roger Ailes, the late television executive who departed his conservative media creation amid sexual harassment allegations, is seen recounting President Trump’s affinity for his former boss Rupert Murdoch in a copy of Michael Wolff’s “Fire and Fury” obtained by the Daily News.

“Trump would jump through hoops for Rupert. Like for Putin. Sucks up and s--ts down,” Ailes reportedly told then White House strategist Steve Bannon.

“I just worry about who’s jerking whose chain.”

Bannon had allegedly planned to undercut the influence of Murdoch on Trump pushing him towards the traditional conservative establishment.

Wolff, who previously wrote a biography about Murdoch, said that Ailes, who died in May of this year, was resentful of his ouster from Fox and agreed to call Trump as part of Bannon’s plan to diminish the Australian businessman.

Bannon also reportedly reminded Trump repeatedly that Murdoch, who became an American citizen in 1985, was not born in the U.S. and had “no feel for the American people.”

The media mogul was also angling against Bannon, according to an August report from the New York Times that said he repeatedly called for Trump to fire him.

Murdoch, for his part in Wolff’s saga, allegedly said that Trump was a “f---ing idiot” after a conversation where Trump said that Barack Obama had over-regulated tech companies.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Wednesday said that Wolff’s book was “filled with false and misleading accounts from individuals who have no access of influence with the White House.”

Trump also released a statement and claimed that when Bannon was fired from the White House “he not only lost his job, he lost his mind.”
