Donald Trump, the former president and current GOP front-runner, intensified his feud with Rupert Murdoch and his media empire on Monday.
Trump made his latest comments in response to The Wall Street Journal's reporting over the weekend, which sparked a flurry of social media activity from the ex-president.
A poll commissioned by the Journal shows Trump leading Biden by 26 points on the question of mental acuity. Nevertheless, Trump criticized Murdoch's outlets, particularly Fox News, for promoting other candidates and claiming his popularity has decreased with the GOP.

On Sunday night, Trump challenged Joe Biden, Rupert Murdoch and Murdoch's sons to a mental acuity test. Come Monday morning, he raised the bar, also insisting on a physical competition.
On Truth Social, the former U.S. president boasted, “I will name the place and the test, and it will be a tough one. Nobody will come even close to me!”
The Independent has more on the proposal:
“Now that the Globalists at Fox & the WSJ have failed to push their 3rd tier candidate to success, they do this. Well, I hereby challenge Rupert Murdoch & Sons, Biden, WSJ heads, to acuity tests!” he wrote.
In a separate post, he continued his challenge, as if describing a duel: “I will name the place and the test, and it will be a tough one. Nobody will come even close to me!”
Then the former president added a twist: “We can also throw some physical activity into it. I just won the Senior Club Championship at a big golf club, with many very good players. To do so you need strength, accuracy, touch and, above all, mental toughness.”
He even cited a source: “Ask Bret Baier (Fox), a very good golfer.”
At 80 years, President Biden is the oldest person to have been elected president. Markedly fewer questions and concerns are raised about Trump's mental sharpness, even by his fiercest critics. (RELATED: Liberal Host Says Trump Must Die In Prison To Prevent Another Coup)
