Donald Trump on Sunday raged against the Wall Street Journal, this time for a report about deliberations with his Cabinet members.
Trump has been recently dogged by the WSJ's blockbuster report on a purported birthday letter sent from Trump to disgraced financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Trump has denied writing it.
He weighed in on a different story over the weekend.
"The Wall Street Journal ran a typically untruthful story today by saying that Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, explained to me that firing Jerome 'Too Late' Powell, the Worst Federal Reserve Chairman in History, would be bad for the Market," Trump wrote. "Nobody had to explain that to me."
Trump continued:
"I know better than anybody what’s good for the Market, and what’s good for the U.S.A. If it weren’t for me, the Market wouldn’t be at Record Highs right now, it probably would have CRASHED!"
He concluded, "So, get your information CORRECT. People don’t explain to me, I explain to them!"
