Discussion: Wall Street Journal Escalates Feud With Trump: ‘The Truth Hurts’

Discussion for article #247588

"As for Trump’s remark that the newspaper’s editorials don’t matter because “nobody cares” what the Wall Street Journal writes anymore, the board thanked him for being “such a loyal reader.”

I love it when editorial writers come up with such novel ways to say “Fuck you.” (Even if it is the WSJ)

Even the WSJ is now trolling Trump.

This is shaping up to be an entertaining few months.

A “sure” loser? Or a “sore” loser?

Either works perfectly.

And this isn’t bad either, it made me happy:

“The truth hurts,” the editorial read, “though Mr. Trump would rather walk down Fifth Avenue shooting the messenger.”

Boom! Not much use most days for the WSJ editorial page but I’m lovin’ this.

“Wall Street Journal Escalates Feud With Trump.”

Trump response:

“Nice democracy you got here. Be a shame if anything happened to it. OH MY GOSH [points to ceiling] is that a loose wire up there? This country’s a fire trap! Whole place could go up in flames [snaps fingers] just like that….”

Looks like parts of the media are finally starting to tell everyone the truth about tRump’s clothing, and tRump, in his usual fashion, refuses to listen. His fingeres ARE short!

Maybe, but the truth hasn’t been tried on the Trumpistas yet.

I’ve done some bad things in my life, Nicolai… Things I’m not proud of. I promised someone I love very much that I would never go back to being that person… But for you, I’ll make an exception.

The Wall Street Journal editorial board declined Donald Trump’s demand for an apology after it cast doubt on his chances of winning the Republican presidential nomination, instead writing another editorial late Thursday calling him “a sure loser in November.”

that’s about right…

“Actually his rise has been cleared by the large and fractured GOP field,” the WSJ editorial board fired back. “Of the 20.35 million GOP primary votes cast so far, he has received 7.54 million, or a mere 37%. Despite the media desire to call him unstoppable, Mr. Trump is the weakest Republican front-runner since Gerald Ford in 1976.”

Actually the media just considers him an interesting metaphor as it relates to 2016. Isn’t Gerald Ford that dude who used to steal from that Chevy Chase dude?

The editorial board pointed out that though Trump may have diehard followers, his unfavorables are also remarkably high: “The Real Clear Politics polling average shows twice as many adults have negative views (61%) than positive views (32.5%) of Mr. Trump.”

“and this should make for an interesting Sunday chat with Jake Tapper.”
