Rupert Murdoch Gets Last Laugh After Trump Called Him Out in Oval Office
Murdoch The '''Master''' Sat Grim Faced But Had Already Humiliated Him in Oval Office With Dumbest Trade War Headline AP 4 FEB 2025 Trump backed off on the tariffs less than a week after announcing them. He agreed to delay the taxes by at least a month because Canada and Mexico told Trump they would clamp down on their borders. On Monday, soon after the two mens meeting, the Journal suggested Trumps declaration of victory, which followed quickly, was overblown. If the North American leaders need to cheer about a minor deal so they all claim victory, thats better for everyone, the editorial read. The need is especially important for Mr. Trump given how much he has boasted that his tariffs are a fool-proof diplomatic weapon against friend or foe. Mr. Trump cant afford to look like the guy who lost. None of this means the tariffs are some genius power play, as the Trump media chorus is boasting, it added. The 25% border tax could return in a month if Mr. Trump is in the wrong mood, or if he is sulky and doesnt like something the foreign leaders have said or done. Ahead of Murdochs visit to the White House on Monday, the Journal had published an editorial skewering Trumps tariffs as '''The Dumbest Trade War in History''' When a reporter pressed Trump on the editorial, with Murdoch seated just feet away, the president couldnt help but take a shot at the paper. Im going to have to talk to him, he said. Ive been right over The Wall Street Journal many times. I dont agree with him. You are going to see. Every one of those single countries is dying to make a deal. The Journals editorial board has in the past month criticized Trump for the blanket-pardoning the Jan. 6 rioters and for eliminating the security details of his first-term advisers. That was just dumb. |
