On Thursday, former President Donald Trump nuked the editorial board of The Wall Street Journal, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and others in an aggressive public statement.
Trump appeared angry over a Tuesday WSJ editorial that criticized the former president’s “grievances” and mocked CPAC enthusiasts who seemed to support Trump’s personal gripes over a substantive GOP agenda.
The 45th President’s response came in the classic Trump fashion those same supporters have come to love.

WSJ Editorial Board Blasts Trump
The WSJ editorial noted of Trump’s CPAC appearance, “Mr. Trump said Sunday that he won’t form a third party because it would divide the center-right coalition and elect Democrats.”
“But he also laid out his political enemies list and is clearly bent on revenge against anyone who voted to impeach or convict him or disagrees with his election claims,” it read.
WSJ continued, “These intraparty fights will sap GOP energy and resources when their priority now should be retaking congress in 2022.”
“Mr. Trump’s base of support means he will play an important role in the GOP, but as the Biden months roll on and the policy consequences of the 2020 defeat become stark, perhaps the party’s grassroots will begin to look past the Trump era to a new generation of potential standard bearers,” it continued.
“As long as Republicans focus on grievances of Trump’s past, they won’t be a governing majority,” the editorial noted.

Trump returned fire in the no-holds-barred style that rocketed him to the head of the Republican Party.
In his statement, Trump replied that the WSJ “editorial page continues, knowingly, to fight for globalist policies such as bad trade deals, open borders, and endless wars that favor other countries and sell out our great American workers, and they fight for RINOS [Republicans in name only] that have so badly hurt the Republican Party.”
Trump added that “nobody cares much about The Wall Street Journal editorial anymore. They have lost great credibility.”
Trump also slammed Mitch McConnell, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, and Stacey Abrams.
Trump said the two Georgia Senate races that handed control of that body to the Democrats were partly due to Sen. McConnell.
“Senator Mitch McConnell’s refusal to go above $600 per person on the stimulus check payments when the two Democrat opponents were touting $2,000 per person in ad after ad,” Trump said.
“This latter point was used against our Senators and the $2,000 will be approved anyway by the Democrats who bought the Georgia election—and McConnell let them do it!” Trump added, referring to Georgia Senate Democratic candidates’ campaign strategy.
“Even more stupidly, the National Republican Senatorial Committee spent millions of dollars on ineffective TV ads starring Mitch McConnell, the most unpopular politician in the country, who only won in Kentucky because President Trump endorsed him,” Trump also said.
“He would have lost badly without this endorsement,” Trump insisted.

The WSJ editors shot back late Thursday with a response called “Donald Trump’s Georgia Rewrite,” withe subhead, “The former President is unhappy with us for recognizing reality.”
The most shocking thing to happen next would be if Trump doesn’t respond.

Each month I get an invitation from WSJ to come back and renew my subscription at basement bargain rates. No thank you, WSJ! Over the years WSJ's embrace of liberal progressive ideology has hampered their ability to deliver the news without bias and prejudice.

The GOP and DNC will find out in 2022 and 2024 just what true patriots think. On one hand the WSJ is correct, but not in the way they think. You see, it's not an "enemies" list as they put it, it's a list of people who exposed that they believe you can just twist the law and Constitution as you wish to suit your purposes. 2016 showed the establishment/swamp the Americans are tired of politicians, 2020 showed the American people the swamp will cheat their asses off to elect whomever they deem worthy of an office, 2022 and 2024 will show the swamp what happens when they prove to not care one whit for their oath or constituency.
They follow the $$$$ not the Truth. This is the problem we have. Truth no longer matters. The agenda is the motes operandi. People need to read,,, or,,, ReRead the Communist Manifesto and be Awoken!!! not "woke" or whatever the heck that crap is….. Most people between 13 and 50 are terribly ignorant of History and Facts…. AND Voting should be limited to: Those who have worked a minimum of 5 yrs at the same job about 20% above minimum wage; Or have served in action in the military, actually Defending the Constitution or others; Or have started a business On Their Own $$ not Grants; OR are over 25 and have paid for and paid off something over a few months wages, beside Fast food! Also. Families should have one vote per household!!! Thinks about those for a minute. it shows some vested interest in The Value of Labor; Personal responsibility and Citizenship; not asking the Feds to do what You Should be doing and much more!
The Left and their leftist media cronies would love that Trump disappears, for the good of real Americans, The working class, this will not happen. Nice try by the out of step Wall Street Journal!

Why don't businesses and other entities stick with what they are best at and not try to be political guru's. Nobody cares what they think politically. They are only fanning the flame of discontent and disunity and racism.
I thought Trump would be a terrible President in 2016. l voted for him in 2020 because he actually did what he said he would do to improve national security and the economy. I felt like he was in the same league as JFK and Reagan. Biden makes Trump look like an anointed savior. I miss the fact Trump would say whatever was on his mind, even though it was misstated and/or crass. Obviously, Beijing Biden, if he has a mind, is controlled by his evil twin, Sniffin' Joe.

Let me help- translate the left's "speak": if they say "up" then it's really "down, if they say "in" then it must be "out", when they scream "good" it's really very "bad". Whatever they say, it's really the opposite.

WSJ I guess more than one thousand sworn affidavits of election irregularities by actual witnesses makes fraud only a rumor, even though individuals in various states have already been charged with voting fraud and violations of voting laws? WSJ now a subsidiary of Pravda? Apparently.
Is it possible the idiots supporting the illegal POS placed in our White House with CHEATING, do not realize he is totally destroying America?

President Trump is not the type to NOT respond to criticism – a trait that his supporters view as a positive.
Continuing in that positive mode, he has to focus on the process of assembling
a Conservative unwavering fighting force that are proven Conservatives –
not like the ones who accepted major rolls in his Cabinet and then turned and branded him toxic.
There has already and there will continue to be more damage occurring to our Country in the next two years.
This is not the time to half step….we need a tidal wave win.
WSj a fail place for left-wing liberal. Most of their edition are women who INTELLIGENT is on their knees! Trump is right! Still someone pay off the federal judge and Supreme Court judge! All of them shall be DISBARRED FROM HOLDING OFFICE! Can't follow the laws then why place your hand on the BIBLE?

The media can say whatever they want, Trumps supporters do not diminish a bit. 2024 is a shoo-in for him if we don't allow what happened in Nov 2020. Right now, I don't see any Dems who can beat DJT in a fair and honest election. Pelosi has got to go in 2022!!!

c'mon. Who is the WSJ? They have some great reporters, like Kimberly Strassel, but they are packed with Russophobes stuck in the Cold War era. Why do they so oppose Russia? US oil interests, US mineral interests, US arms interests. Industrialists each and every one of them. And whom does the WSJ represent?

If the election was honest and legal , President Trump would be in the White House. He legally won the election. The Judges know that too, that’s why they dismissed all the cases brought to them, without even looking at them!

WSG is simply a democrat tool and has lost its credibility due to “woke” writers as they take Dem money. Typical Dem trait- ask people to give up their souls for money. Total disgrace!!

What all of these people that accuse PRESIDENT TRUMP of negative things of any kind have nor realized that he has been right on every single issue that they insanely criticized him on. Don't you think that they would realize that and grow up? They also accuse him of lying which is based on their agenda which has nothing to do with the truth. The Democrat Party is incapable of telling the truth and their way of covering up the last election is the biggest and worst lie that I have every heard of and I cannot believe that they have actually gotten away with it thus far. Anybody that says or feels that the election was actually clean and fair has either been paid off, threatened, or is basically ignorant or just doesn't understand basic math. President Trump was way ahead when the polls closed at midnight on election day with six states "undecided". Given the number of uncounted votes left versus how far PRESIDENT TRUMP was ahead, Trump was poised to win at least four of them for sure. Now in light of that, do you honestly think that Biden miraculously won all six of the states by the next morning? Impossible! The way they did it is to create at least 500,000 counterfeit ballots, printed in China, which they had available, which they then forged with made up names, and then ILLEGALLY and covertly got them accepted into the seven counting centers where they were illegally counted by criminal Democrat poll workers who made sure all Republicans had left for the night.
His unerring dedication to the American people and his abrupt communication skills is what keeps Trump above the political morass. In 2016 he made a bunch of promises and even though all the swamp at Washington fought like heck, he made good on all of them. I will vote not only for him but anyone he endorses for office.
I might suggest that the Wall Street reflect on the grow of their readership over the past 15 years. At one time, the WSJ, which is owned by the Rupert family of Fox News notoriety, was a reputable source of business news. Over the past 15 years the WSJ has become a political rag and during the past 8 years the WSJ has become politically biased in favor of investors and politicians whose agendas have subverted the American industrial infrastructure in favor of their foal smelling wallets.

Our military forces in combat zones were held to higher standards than was the individual who shot an unarmed protestor in the Capitol Building. Vietnam veterans suffering health issues from exposure to agent orange have had more difficulty proving the casual relationship than Nancy Pelosi has had in proving the death of a capitol officer who suffered an imaginary head injury as a result of a blow to the head with an imaginary fire extinguisher. And the mass news (propaganda) media? Crickets on all three issues.

Some one should point out to the WSJ that out of the 27 toss up elections in the House of Representatives the GOP took every one. Instead of Biden having coat tails and sweeping in loads of Democrats, they barely managed to hang on to their majority in the House and only managed a tie in the Senate plus they lost a couple of states. So much for the intraparty fights sapping the Republicans. Remember the original #Resistance were the #NeverTrumpers made up of RINOs.

"Three-Way Sex With Couples Has Made Me a Better Person" – D.J. Trump
At a recent Mar-a-Lago Club reception, Trump told his dinner guests that "Intimacy between two people is like ping-pong, but with three people, it’s like volleying a ball with no net, and no blueprint. That openness has changed my life." Melania also quipped, "I like to bring my own paddle." Reported by The U.S. Sun, Mar 7 2021, 8:01 ET

JARED KUSHNER AND DONALD TRUMP ARE ON A BREAK
Both insist they were the one to dump the other.
As Trump plotted his Conservative Political Action Conference appearance last week, and a broader, more robust plan to return to politics as an omnipresent disruptor, one person was conspicuously absent from the confab. Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, was notably not on the list of advisers assisting the former president. Kushner, who previously served as chief adviser-cum-micromanager with far-reaching responsibilities and had virtual carte blanche, has tapped out, say several people who worked closely with Kushner at the White House or are familiar with his thinking.
It’s not clear, however, who is instigating this—at least for now—breakup. Some who have been in contact with Kushner place it at the feet of being done with his father-in-law’s antics. Sources closer to Trump say he’s angry with his son-in-law over the election loss…. Two Trump staffers said Kushner’s relationship with Trump, son-in-law or no, has been fractured since Trump’s reelection loss. Trump, they say, has at times in the last several weeks expressed to those close to him that he faults Kushner for losing.
Family Values! MAGA!
