Trump slams WSJ amid Epstein lawsuit, claiming it's 'China centric'

President Trump on Thursday slammed The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board for routinely criticizing his trade policy with “China-centric” rhetoric.

“The reason that The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board is always negative on ‘TRUMP,’ and the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars we’re bringing into our Country through Tariffs, numbers that the U.S.A. has never seen before, is because they are China centric or, at a minimum, Globalists, and they would rather see China and the World, for reasons unknown, ‘WIN, BABY, WIN,’” the president wrote in a Truth Social post. 

“If the United States were not able to charge Tariffs to other Countries, it would be Economically defenseless and, of no further force or effect,” he added.

In recent months, the Journal’s editorial board has published a series of op-eds critiquing the president’s fluctuating trade rates while alleging measures that violate federal law.

“He’s treating the North American economy as a personal plaything, as markets gyrate with each presidential whim,” the board wrote in March. 

“It’s doubtful Mr. Trump even has the power to impose these tariffs, and we hope his afflatus gets a legal challenge.” 

Months later, the outlet published an article detailing a birthday letter allegedly signed by the president and sent to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 

Trump denied the correspondence and responded with a lawsuit naming Rupert Murdoch, the Journal and NewsCorp, accusing the paper of relying on “sources that don’t even exist.”

As the legal battle plays out in court, the president has continued to reject disapproval from the conservative outlet.

“The only thing that can destroy our Country are Crooked, Radical Left Judges, of which there are many!” Trump wrote on Thursday.
