As I have now stated for the past 8 years, the biggest negative about Trump is his incompetence.
Today, the Wall Street Journal is stating the incompetence in a public and national way
Donald Trump hit Canada and Mexico with a 25% tariff on imports, and China with 10%, on Saturday in a move that launched a new era of trade wars between the US and three of its largest trading partners. The tariffs against Canada tax oil and energy products at 10%. The editorial board of
the Wall Street Journal called it “the dumbest trade war in history”.
Those are BIG words coming from a company that represents big business and is considered to be Conservative.
The WSJ is
a division of Dow Jones, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. The paper's primary focus is business and economy but also covers other areas of news. The WSJ has several media platforms, including a daily print paper (except Sunday), web access, tablet and smartphone app editions. Its generally conservative positions on economic, political, and scientific topics have been influential.
When such a comment is stated by a company that has generally supported Trump, it carries a lot of weight.
For your information, today the Dow Jones is due to open 600 points lower due to the tariffs. That is money talking.
