Wall Street Journal Mocks Trump Supporters For Calling Tariffs 'Genius Power Play'
www.huffpost.com
The Rupert Murdoch-owned newspaper's editorial board has been critical of many of Trump’s moves in the early days of his second presidential term.

Summary

The Wall Street Journal mocked Trump’s tariff policy, calling his pause on Canadian and Mexican import taxes a retreat rather than a “genius power play.”

It criticized Trump for claiming victory despite making only minor trade deals.

Trump agreed to a 30-day delay after Mexico and Canada offered border security concessions.

The Journal previously called his trade war “the dumbest in history.”

    I’ve never seen anyone take the angle of Trump’s tariff policy being anti-capitalist and I don’t understand why. He’s disrupting free trade which is a foundational aspect of a global capitalist economy, why isn’t his party mad about that?

    Also this article was fucking terrible
