Everyone! This is an unnecessary constitutional crisis! We must show them we FAR outnumber them ! By millions ! Don’t let cause confusion because we know exactly what they are trying to do! Let’s start by all getting onto one page! Sign and share !
They only care NOW because it's going to hurt *them* financially. Where were their articles speaking out against his plans the last 3..erm..12 years?? Only now.
But the WSJ supported him before the election. Just goes to show you how stupid very smart people can be (or maybe it’s greedy, then again, maybe those are the same thing).
The 1% won't be hurt by the tariffs. They wanted Trump to renew his Tax act to reduce corporate taxes and make it permanent. We'll all pay for that at the cash register.
A little freaking late to the party!
Maggie Haberman CC can get stuffed as well. She hid inside information that might have taken down trump just to put in her book.
Exactly, stand up to the rsholes or America will become minor on the Global stage.
US citizens are allowing a completely selfish idiotic old criminal destroy the country.
MAMA.....Make America Minor Again.
Always believe the opposite of what liar trump says. Always
Why does the NYT make me more upset than any of them? As an L.A. native, I’m bummed the LA Times is such a gross rag now, but the NYT is a colossal upset.
The WSJ? A Rupert Murdoch publication? The NYTimes just lost its office in the press office building & was replaced by the NYPost so maybe they will have a different slant on it. Maybe one of Murdoch’s pubs will get it right for Trump.
Those is rich. Didn't the WSJ basically trash Harris, arguing she would have been a disaster for the US economy? I don't recall a trade war with allies being a part of her policies.
The WSJ backed #Trump. I guess they're now having buyer's remorse. As a Canadian, I say a pox on them.
Every country in the world should do that for this country. Don't buy anything. Don't trade. Stop using the currency. It's unreliable. I think that it's time that the billionaires and cozying up to a dictator. They need to be put on notice that they don't own the world
I might be completely deluded but I have a sneaky suspicion he’s going to call some victory after a few days, call a press conference saying that he bent Canada and Mexico to his will and the tariffs will disappear and American media will stop talking about it.
You guys are awesome at Meidas but it's time to use your platform to actively push for the resignation of Trump! We must make this the only thing people are talking about. Complaining is not enough. TRUMP MUST RESIGN!
Trump destroys relationships with all allies as Putin moves ahead in Baltic Sea, and Netanyahu wants Trump to bomb Iran nuclear facilities. U.S. financial collapse solidifies BRICS for Putin.
This single sentence's an analogy of various implications regarding (lies, incompetence, baseless blame, self-victimizing, & illiteracy), that bears similarity / relevance to the horseshit we have to endure & survive for these 4 yrs; & an equivalent of ANY "apologies" from (Orange Shitler's) voters
- dumb & doesn’t know what he’s doing, & will unintentionally wreck the country causing riots etc
- not dumb, knows exactly what he’s doing & intentionally wants to wreck the country, causing riots etc so he can impose martial law, imprison opponents & justify suspending elections
Most of their concern is their portfolios so it’s outrage at Democrats closing tax loopholes but now Trump is impacting their bottom line. My bf is in finance and very few thought he would actually go through with tariffs.
I agree. My boyfriend has the mindset of, “he’s so incompetent, he wouldn’t do that.” Also that he wouldn’t screw over his base so obviously. It hasn’t really sunk in for him that we likely will not see another free and fair election.
So, for me, I would state that Trump’s presidency is simultaneously a class war, and simultaneously a consequence of party ideology. In short, the GOP use party and culture war ideology to get people to vote against their best interests. But the GOP’s policies once elected are class warfare.
If you’re trying to crash the economy (dollar) so you and your billionaire friends can enact a massive land grab and divide the US into charter cities that use crypto, wellllllll then maybe a trade war is a really quick way to do so.
Stop thinking of this in terms of a presidency. This is an OCCUPATION. We need to act accordingly. Things are happening VERY quickly. Start preparing if you haven’t.
Why was this not opposed with lawsuits after lawsuit? This is criminal and illegal. It is a tax that's not legal and has not been authorized. He's using this emergency act to do this criminal stuff. We gotta appeal that too.
WSJ also failed to call this one out. "Through Fiscal Year 2022, the United States federal government has spent and obligated $8 trillion dollars on the post-9/11 wars in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and elsewhere."
It’s a three way.
1) Trump gets paid by US oligarchs/companies
2) Trump puts pressure on foreign leaders and companies to do his oligarch favors.
3) Trump lifts tariffs on selected foreign companies.
So what do you call the billionaire owner of a paper who will be hurt by “the dumbest trade war in history,” but has been assisting the President who openly said several times before his election that he was going to start said “dumbest trade war”?
I wonder if tariffs, increase in prices, deporting illegal immigrants, fighting with the whole world and getting in bed with billionaires will sink US into deep recession. Will this be enough for MAGA followers to turn on Trump and his cronies? Not sure I know the answer.
MAGA is a cult. Rules of logical/normal thinking do not apply. MAGAS live in a wonderful alternative universe where you can just deny any inconvenient truths . It is always the media not telling the truth etc ,if they don't like the facts.
Nothing will change their mind.
Yes, I think it will. I think Fox et al will have to turn on the orange stain before they will turn on him because they do not possess independent thought.
Again: why are they doing this NOW!!! I am so upset about these last months. How the press would question Kamala’s competences and ignore trump’s ranting 🤬. I am done with @wsj.com and Time magazine magazine for ever!
A rose by any other name. He thinks he can squeeze more money out of USA working class because it's a "tariff" and not a "tax". And hey, why not destroy your allies' economies while you are destroying your own. Also tariffs serve as a distraction while gutting FBI/DOJ and dismantling USA democracy.
I really resent trump's thinking all of us are as stupid as he and his cult & that we're not capable of knowing a tariff is just another tax on consumers.
Sadly, he is not dumb. He is destructive and arrogant. His goal is to "never have to vote again", meaning another Trump will be in position when he die. He himself will never experience the world as it will become.
This is a dream come true for Russia, seeing the alliance crumble. Europe is next.
It does take a certain lack of intelligence to create such an ignorant policy. Unless you just want to bring a ton of money in to the government you’re about to lord over. And the people that voted for you are too stupid to know what you’re doing.
Americans need to stock up on non-perishable groceries and gas and then stop shopping. The good news about being a consumer economy is that we can live without more stuff for a good long while. Welcome to no-spend 2025. #TrumpTax
Who would possibly think this is a good idea for a PR stunt? Trump will claim victory in few days, but the damage will be done to our economy, relations with our neighbors and to Trump. Everyone loses.
Data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Drug Enforcement Agency shows that the vast majority of fentanyl comes into the US through legal ports of entry.
The people bringing the most fentanyl into the country are native-born Americans—NOT Chinese, Canadian or Mexican.
U.S. “Customs and Border Protection figures show that officials seized 9,930 kilograms of fentanyl at American borders between October 2023 and September 2024. Only 20 kilograms of that amount came from Canada.”
I will try my hardest to not purchase anything made in America (unless they are anti-Orange), as long as that anti-American "dicktator" is in our White House.
Maybe WSJ is learning that their fealty to him will not be reciprocated
He will spit on them and kick them to the curve like everybody else
He has no loyalty
Americans really need to get over this party crap. I know of people who vote just because it’s the party they have always voted for not because of what the person stands for or what they’ve done or what they plan to do. It’s pure simple stupidity on the part of Americans.
It makes sense since it comes from the dumbest President in History.
How could you even trust the economic knowledge of someone who bankrupted everything he touched?
How long until Dumpty signs an EO saying newspapers can't speak ill of him? Feels like it's only a matter of time and feels like the GOP would be fine with it.
WSJ are disingenuous assholes. Trump ran on this & they supported him anyway. Broadly imposed tariff policies always fuel inflation & materially damage the economy - because they always do. Tariffs are sales taxes that Americans pay for & will be used to pay for huge billionaire tax cuts.
He may be totally incompetent yet his cruel and thoughtless actions have real world consequences. Personally know a pregnant mom that was fired along with her entire department losing health care as well as job.
The Rupert Murdoch family or whoever is running the misinformation machine over at Fox needs to be reporting what they print cause maga is not reading anything but X……
They are part of the reason he is in office. It's a bit late for them to have an opinion of any value, no one of moral character will trust them ever again.

This is a lunatic misapplying a trade mechanism to appear strong to the uninformed who elected him, and will pay the price for his ego.
#Trumpflation
Doubtful the LA or NY Times or Washington Post will be as candid in their respective (no longer respected) commentary.
Bloodbath next week. You don't want to lose everything gained under the stable Biden term.
It will scare the fuck out of maga holding the bag.
And we will all suffer the consequences.
Except them.
With their millions and billions .

Oh, that's right. I forgot. Trump literally told everyone he was going to do this.
Thanks for nothing, WSJ.

*if we even still have elections.
Damn thought correction.
Nothing will change their mind.
The dumbest and most dangerous FOTUS ( felon of the US) in history
They are selling short, knowing these tariffs will tank the market
They are now positioned to make $billions
Understood??
This is a dream come true for Russia, seeing the alliance crumble. Europe is next.
Also WSJ: No, not like that!
Fuck Rupert Murdoch. He has what he wants. He doesn’t get to complain.
Putin wins.
He told the Davos meeting that “they” could pay the tariffs.
Was inaccurate info to be consistent for his base or is he THAT dumb?
His family were involved with the very beginning of the opus dei(sp?)
