President Donald Trump howled at the Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board on Thursday after they published an editorial calling his declared victory in the war on Iran "premature."
On Wednesday, the editorial board warned Trump that it was "too early" to declare victory in the conflict, considering that the Strait of Hormuz remains closed and Iran continues to attack U.S. allies in the region. Trump responded in a fiery Truth Social post, saying the editors will "eat their words."
"The Wall Street Journal, one of the worst and most inaccurate 'Editorial Boards' in the World, stated that I 'declared premature victory in Iran.' Actually, it is a Victory, and there’s nothing 'premature' about it!" Trump wrote. "Because of me, IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON and, very quickly, you’ll see Oil start flowing, with or without the help of Iran and, to me, it makes no difference, either way."
"The Wall Street Journal will, as usual, live to eat their words," he added. "They are always quick to criticize, but never to admit when they’re wrong, which is most of the time!"
