Summary
The Wall Street Journal slammed Trump’s new 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada as “the dumbest” move, warning they harm allies, not adversaries.
The editorial suggested retaliation could pressure Trump to reverse course. The stock market reacted negatively, showing concerns about Trump’s economic policies in a second term.
The Journal also recently criticized Trump’s stance on Ukraine, U.S. withdrawal from Europe, and his sovereign wealth fund plans, highlighting broader worries about his policy direction.
That is the entire point of them, you see. Hurt them, consolidate them under loyal oligarchs, become “too big to fail”, control everything.
