Well it is from the dumbest president in history (for the 2nd time).
Less than two weeks in and a Republican President has editorials from the normally-Republican-friendly Wall Street Journal taking a whack at them.
goes over to see what Cato is up to
Looks like the top three stories are all also attacking Trump.

Here Comes the Legal Campaign Against “Woke” Employers
For a guy aiming to make a big deal out of firing lots of government employees, he sure isn’t getting much love from the small-government crowd.
EDIT: Just to add to that, Reason’s top stories are also taking a whack at Trump:
-

I think it’s a great opportunity for Canada to develop more partnership with Europe, Mexico and the rest of the world. USA is an ennemi now, a dangerous one, it’s time to bring this under-educated country to his knees. They need to pay for all the suffering they brought to the world. Sorry USA, we cant not friend anymore, you made your choices.
Sucks to be linked in when I didn’t choose any of this. But I get it. You gotta at this point. Fuck us.
I agree, but we should have diversified our trade in the 90s when we realized Mulroney’s us/can free trade agreement wasn’t going to last forever, and when it was becoming obvious that China was rising fast as a manufacturing powerhouse.
IMO, we should have forged a tightly integrated trade agreement with the EU and spearheaded the Trans Pacific Partnership way sooner.
We’re in the pickle of current events because we were largely complacent at the table of a global market that marched ahead without us in the ways we wanted.
The problem is that it’s very difficult to move from a trading partner you share a land border with to ones that you have to cross the world’s largest oceans to get to. Not just difficult, but largely undesirable. While national security might argue for diverse trading partners, short of applying extraordinary incentives business is going to go where its easy and profitable to go, and that’s the US.
Since the nineties Canada has signed and ratified 15 free trade agreements. But none of that matters when we have one of the world’s largest and wealthiest markets right next to us. Not unless we’re willing to take extraordinary measures to change that dynamic.
Yes, of course. Those things are also all true.
Didn’t they just fire a few staff members critical of Trump?
Edit: Apparently they didn’t endorse anyone.
The WSJ is pretty conservative. They probably endorsed Trump too, regardless of the fact that he stated, outright, he was going to do another dumbass trade war.
I’m hoping we soon hear several new trade announcements coming from NATO partners that will help us collectively reduce our reliance on authoritative governments of all stripes.
