President Donald Trump issued a rambling statement on his Truth Social page on Thursday, where he attacked the conservative Wall Street Journal's editorial board.
The statement was issued at a time when the editorial board had written several negative opinion pieces about Trump's tariff policies. The editorial board has even given Trump the moniker of "Tariff Man" for his love of the policy, despite its downsides.
"The reason that The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board is always negative on 'TRUMP,' and the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars we’re bringing into our Country through Tariffs, numbers that the U.S.A. has never seen before, is because they are China centric or, at a minimum, Globalists, and they would rather see China and the World, for reasons unknown, 'WIN, BABY, WIN,' the post reads in part.
"If the United States were not able to charge Tariffs to other Countries, it would be Economically (sic) defenseless and, of no further force or effect," it continued. "The only thing that can destroy our Country are Crooked, Radical Left Judges, of which there are many!"
