Wall Street Journal slams trump on tariffs

08 March 2025, 18:13

Mike Mitchell

That bastion of liberal reporting....Says somebody ought to sue him.

“He’s treating the North American economy as a personal plaything, as markets gyrate with each presidential whim,” the board wrote. “It’s doubtful Mr. Trump even has the power to impose these tariffs, and we hope his afflatus gets a legal challenge.”

who will dare to challenge him on your soil?

LHeym500

Well, every U.S. citizen on this forum who has highlighted and made the arguments against the Trump Administration’s actions are challenging him. Every court case is challenging him. Every time a vote is cast on the floor or in a committee in Congress is challenging him.

Come elections candidates will run on these issues. That is how we challenge folks in a feee, civilized, nation state that honors the rule of law.

Trump is being challenged. It is a process. The process matters more than the result.

Every time an American says X is not right and Why, Trump is being challenged.

I have long said on here President Trump does not have the authority under S. Ct., precedent to unilaterally apply tariffs.

a self proclaimed liberal moves from a then strongly blue state, to a strongly red state, lives there 44 years, then moves to an even MORE red state, and still calls himself a liberal?

I call it a coward hiding amongst men

The FT is no different -

Still, it is clear that the president has squandered what was a decent economic inheritance. Not long ago price pressures were fading, the US Federal Reserve was on the cusp of a steady rate-cutting cycle into a resilient economy, and the S&P 500 was gliding upwards. This is no longer true.

"freedom of everything"

Hummm

I suppose it depends on how you define "freedom".

FYI, you're not free nor sovereign, never have been, and based on your posts, never will be.

It's your fantasy.

How is it possible for someone supposedly freedom loving to vote for and support a fascist/autocrat wannabee?

One explanation is your fantasy has been manipulated. Thus, that vulnerability makes you neither free nor sovereign.

Let’s see…

Free to read any book you want?
Free to use any words you want?
Free to define yourself regarding gender?
Free to make decisions regarding your own reproductive processes?
Free to refuse Civil Forfeiture?

Have a Muslim say Salah on one side of the street and a Christian pray in public on the other, and see which one gets his head stomped on first.

Yeah. You’re spelling Freedumb wrong.

You’re free to take a knee before a football game and watch your career go down the toilet, but that’s about as free as you’re going to get.
You’re free to henceforth call the aircraft that dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima the “Enola Straight”.

but steve rodgers is all you wrote about for sure but on my opinion that does not mean becoming american lol ... especially in those days more than one that gave their blood or lives for their country are certainly not happy to say the least ...

Not really.

I did a little research on the key word "posthumously" to find out why Steve Rodgers died so young.

Then I linked it to Trump's/Musk's waste management, and how our regulatory agencies serve us, and how Musk exploits, self-serves and corrupts.
