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.

    If Rupert Murdoch wants it to stop, all he has to do is stop letting his media machine be state Republican media?

    Eat my fucking septic tank, Rupert, you old disgusting dried up twat. You did this.

    1. No he doesn’t know about money—he’s a moron.

    2. He doesn’t care about damage to the presidency or the country, only personal damage to himself.

    3. He doesn’t care about approval ratings. Either he’s just going to make himself president again, or he’s termed out. Either way, approval ratings can get fucked in his eyes.

    4. Thus, this whole article is an exercise in futility and dumbfuckery.

      It’s not written for Trump, it’s written for all the monied interests to wake up and realize that if he steams full ahead with all of his plans they could lose a lot of money.

        “Man who worked so hard to get Trump elected complains that Trump is too stupid”

        Way to go, Murdoch.

      Murdoch is covering both sides. His NY Post is still a favorite of MAGoos in the tri-state area. It’s been praising Trump for his bold choices.

        There is probably more nuance to it. The Post ensures the base stays loyal, this is to guide moneyed interests to try to persuade Trump to not do everything he is saying.

      Murdock owns a lot of media doesnt he? So just like trump, people talking and being engaged in the circus makes him money.

      You guys following what they do, feeling something about it, commenting, its all building their wealth.

      The ad-based economy is about eyeballs and attention from the ordinary joes like yourself.

      Murdoch or Trump? Murdoch has been systematically destroying the developed world for several decades. Trump only jumped in at the last mile.

        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.

        Murdoch has been hanging out with Trump in the whote house these past three weeks. Any outrage by him is fabrication.

    When you and your “buddies” business model is to make money off the destruction of our institutions, and off people’s pain, then everything is going according to plan.
