Murdoch Paper Savages Trump for Making His ‘Dumbest’ Plan Even Dumber

The Rupert Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal blasted Donald Trump for reigniting a trade war with Canada just weeks away from the midterms.

The newspaper’s editorial board savaged the 80-year-old president for announcing a sequel to his “dumbest” tariff plans against a close ally and neighbor by imposing 50 percent import levies on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods over the weekend.

In turn, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that the country is being “attacked” by Trump and vowed to match the U.S. tariffs “dollar for dollar.”
