Or that his supporters care about?

Even Wiley Coyote is smarter than you, bud.

WSJ is very much open borders (cheap labor) so this is a merger of news and editorial.

Once again someone took aim at Trump and winds up shooting itself in the foot.

There’s no question that the “news” pages have morphed into a New York Times/Washington Post type partisan rag over the past two decades, but the editorial page remains conservative. You don’t have to be a Never-Trumper to believe that tariffs are bad (a position consistently taken by the editorial page).

Personally, I believe that the editorial page is mistaken in viewing tariffs as an economic policy (I agree that tariffs are bad economics). Rather, I believe that Trump views tariffs as a negotiating tool. Perhaps using this tool will flirt with bad economics–but Trump is a far more competent negotiator that the Obama (“don’t call my bluff”–which made no sense whatsoever in a negotiation) or Biden (“don’t”–how’d that work out?).

One definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. Perhaps we should give Trump the benefit of the doubt that his different approach may yield different results than the stunningly incompetent Biden obtained.

Lots of “let’s get this expletive deleted”? Could be costly.

A tad more unpleasant digging turns up his hand in the Stormy Daniels debacle as well: https://x.com/DaveColePhoto/status/1117916492106846208

I don’t think that will be hard in this case at all: they don’t have the original, any proof and Trump and his team denied it seven ways from Sunday, and so on. And your article points out the actual malice.

Plus, we know Thomas is aching to turn over Sullivan, and maybe this will be the case that get get a quorum to overturn it. Since the suit is filed the Woke Street Journal is about to get to the FO stage.

Palazzolo, J. Someone will be along to tell us about him, and his priors which are about as unsavory as needs be.

Yep, turns out his previous reporting experience was working for a magazine owned by the wife of none other than Glenn Simpson of….(wait for it!)….Fusion GPS!
