The Wall Street Journal‘s editorial board has shot down multiple boasts President Donald Trump made about his tariffs in the paper just days earlier.
The Rupert Murdoch–owned newspaper had allowed the 79-year-old president free rein in its opinion section to hit back at “countless so-called experts, including those featured frequently in The Wall Street Journal,” who warned his sweeping global tariffs would be an economic disaster.
“Given the results of the past year, and the spectacular economic numbers coming out every single day, perhaps it is time for the tariff skeptics at the Journal to consider putting on one of my favorite red hats—the one that reads, ‘TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING!’” he wrote in a Jan. 30 op-ed.
