Summary
The Wall Street Journalās editorial board criticized Trumpās economic understanding after he linked interest rate cuts to tariffs on Truth Social.
The board called his analysis āintellectual confusionā and explained that inflation concerns make rate cuts unlikely.
While defending Trump from blame for rising prices, the Journal warned that mishandling inflation could damage his presidency.
The article also noted Trumpās past comments about influencing the Federal Reserve, urging him to avoid pressuring Chair Jerome Powell, as inflation could quickly erode his high approval ratings.
You know itās bad when Rupert Murdochās corrupt ass chimes in.
Murdoch is covering both sides. His NY Post is still a favorite of MAGoos in the tri-state area. Itās been praising Trump for his bold choices.
There is probably more nuance to it. The Post ensures the base stays loyal, this is to guide moneyed interests to try to persuade Trump to not do everything he is saying.
Murdock owns a lot of media doesnt he? So just like trump, people talking and being engaged in the circus makes him money.
You guys following what they do, feeling something about it, commenting, its all building their wealth.
The ad-based economy is about eyeballs and attention from the ordinary joes like yourself.
