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?

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.

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

 

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

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.

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.
