The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board tears apart Trump's tariffs in a blistering editorial:

Trump just continues to TAKE more power as the days go by.



The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board tears apart Trump’s tariffs in a blistering editorial:

“The President is right that his tariffs are at work—in destroying U.S. jobs and raising prices. The U.S. has lost some 75,000 manufacturing jobs since January 2025, including 25,900 in motor vehicle and parts production...

there’s no question his tariffs are raising costs for U.S. manufacturers.…Mr. Trump and his advisers claim that foreigners pay his border taxes, but the evidence shows that U.S. companies, workers and consumers are picking up most of the tab.

The Anderson Economic Group estimates that auto tariffs on Canada and Mexico alone added about $1,600 to the cost of each car made in the U.S. last year. While auto makers absorbed some of the Trump tariff costs, they also passed on a large share to customers…Call it the Trump tax.”

That you reap what you have sown.

I mean... support a ignorant dipshit who screwed everyone around him his entire life (even teenage girls... with violence and threats of violence) while cashing-in millions (now billions) and expect to make life better for the people of the world?!?

Really?

They thought Trump would answer to them. Are they finally seeing that Trump is completely unmanageable, reacting only to the deranged urges of his damaged psyche?
