4. More evidence that Fox is the GOP's mouthpiece

The GOP establishment hates Trump for agitating their unruly racist base on immigration and other issues that they know that they need to stay away from if they are to have any chance of winning the general election. This is forcing other Republican candidates to follow Trump's lead to some extent to keep from alienating Trump's supporters whose votes they will need to win the nomination if Trump is eliminated from the field.

I think that at least some Fox staff are trying their best to help the Republican establishment to eliminate the "Trump problem". So far they haven't been successful in denting Trump's popularity with the worse elements of the Republican Party, but I think that this is what is causing the friction between Fox and the Trump camp.

However, I strongly suspect that Fox and Trump will patch things up again because they need each other. Trump needs Fox to continue to reach his supporters and as long as Trump remains viable and the most interesting candidate in the race, Fox needs Trump to keep up their ratings.
