Summary

The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board criticized Trump’s economic understanding after he linked interest rate cuts to tariffs on Truth Social.

The board called his analysis “intellectual confusion” and explained that inflation concerns make rate cuts unlikely.

While defending Trump from blame for rising prices, the Journal warned that mishandling inflation could damage his presidency.

The article also noted Trump’s past comments about influencing the Federal Reserve, urging him to avoid pressuring Chair Jerome Powell, as inflation could quickly erode his high approval ratings.

      The only immigrants people should be trying to oust right now are Musk Murdoch and Melania. The world would be a better place for it.
