Wall Street Journal Dunks On Trump In Stinging New Editorial

 

The Wall Street Journal said President Donald Trump is “finally listening to reality” as he caves on his tariff agenda and backs off his threats to try to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

“The MAGA media echo chamber that praised Mr. Trump’s tariffs as strategic genius looks foolish,” the newspaper’s editorial board wrote on Wednesday evening.

“With even U.S. allies facing Mr. Trump’s tariff assault, Beijing’s threat has resonated in a way that it never previously did,” the newspaper said. “U.S. diplomatic sway is ebbing.”

Well, maybe on the day that was written he seemed to be "finally listening to reality". But with him, who knows what lunacy  the next day will furnish?

Wall Street journal before election.....right wing propaganda 

 

Wall Street journal after trump elected...Great source for news links.

Maybe like Lenny in the 1992 version 'Of Mice and Men' movie, the WSJ editorial board post-election said to themselves:

I... I done a bad thing. I done a--a really bad thing.

Not exactly. The news section was always excellent. Maybe even the best in the country. But yes the editorial department was daft. In fact so daft that the news section once sent them an open letter pleading with them to please fact-check before they publish their editorials.

the sentiment on here was much different. In fact I recall often people would slag anything coming from them. Constant... it's faux Murdoch rag  etc etc.

I'll volunteer to go on Elons rocket to Mars.

 

Please pick me. 

When the criticism starts coming from the Editorial Board of the WSJ, then you know Rupert Murdoch is getting tired of Trump.

 

Last to turn will be the New York Post, as it is the most MAGA of Murdoch's press. But turn it eventually will.

 

Murdoch and the other billionaires are only in it for the tax cuts. But for tax cuts to be meaningful, there has to be income and asset values have to remain steady. As it becomes clear that Trump is destroying their fortunes, they'll dump him. If Trump keeps up this tariff madness, it won't take long.

My investment advice holds... I was right several weeks ago and I will be proven right going forward.

 

Never go to cash baby.

Lunacy is right.  His logic, or lack of, depends on what phase  the moon is in.

Oh, I don't know.  They sold the good news about Biden's mental acuity and Kamala's oratory genius.

 

The question is, who's buying (and paying)?  Because it certainly isn't the readers and listeners who are leaving the MSM in droves.

I didn't see "orange man bad" in the editorial. Maybe you forgot to put on your reading glasses? Just a guess.

‘It Sucks!!!’ Trump Bitterly Rages Against Fox News and Calls for Heads to Roll at The Wall Street Journal in Truth Social Tirade
 

President Donald Trump raged against both Fox News and The Wall Street Journal on Thursday, targeting two of the most influential conservative media outlets in the country, both of which are owned by billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch.

 

“Rupert Murdoch has told me for years that he is going to get rid of his FoxNews, Trump Hating, Fake Pollster, but he has never done so,” wrote Trump in a Truth Social tirade. “This ‘pollster’ has gotten me, and MAGA, wrong for years. Also, and while he’s at it, he should start making changes at the China Loving Wall Street Journal. It sucks!!!”

sorta like Trump claiming that he will be nice to the Chinese and they will be nice to Trump - then the Boeing planes were refused by the Chinese.  Trump talking like his peopel are already talking with the Chinese.  But I see the Chinese are saying that there have not been any talks whatsoever on the tariffs yet.  Good thing Malaysia wants to buy those refused Boeing planes.  Also see VN wants to buy 50 Boeing planes so some good I guess for Boeing

Is AN a toxic forum? 

I think so.

Mostly wishful thinking on the part of the Wall Street Journal, at least insofar as it pertains to Trump and China.  Trump will not fold on China, although I think on both sides there will be some compromise.  That's how it has to happen.  A total trade embargo is not sustainable, either for China or the USA.  If something can't happen, it won't.

That's been my philosophy for the last 2 1/2 years.  Every time I get extra cash, it's immediately invested.  And it stays that way, regardless.  

 

People trying to time the market will likely lose.  And when you miss out on big up days, you tend to do much worse than if you just stayed invested in the first place.  Just look at the past week or so.  People thought the world was about to end. Many sold stocks to "be on the safe side."  And now, they're sitting there hoping they can get back in at some point.  Maybe they can, or maybe not.  And let's not forget the tax complications. 

 

Everyone knows where the dollar is headed. The Fed has no real choice, regardless of their public pronouncements.
