Wall Street Journal’s Big Plan To Destroy Trump
(00:00.46)
Yeah, the Wall Street Journal is basically running an operation, an op operation, get Trump every day. Multiple, multiple articles on the front page of the paper. And I’m not talking about, you know, the signal stuff, stories when it comes to the economy going after Trump, again, is another example today. Corporate America’s euphoria over Trump’s golden age is giving way to distress. And again, they’ve been working on this column for a while because some of the information in it, quite frankly, has already been dated. They’ve already actually, you can watch how they had to change it. Well, granted the markets come back a little bit over the past week. mean, it’s plainly obvious what they’re looking to do. Again, they unnamed.
CEOs and sources telling them that they’re, you know, worried about what’s going to happen moving forward. Yesterday, we talked a little bit briefly discussed the Michigan survey, the Consumer Confidence Survey and how it’s a load of bunk. You know, I don’t know if you saw the economic numbers today, but you had durable goods up 3.2 % month over month.
That was in January, then up. OK, January was just the numbers are pretty darn good. Pretty darn good when it comes to durable goods and some of the expenditures and durable goods are items that think of them more like an airplane or boiler cars, things that last an extended period of time. The continued battle that the wall says it’s always on the issue of tariffs now.
D-Day for tariffs. What’s April 4th? Monday? I think I got to check. It’s either Monday or Tuesday, April 2nd. From what we’ve seen already, and it’s not getting a lot of press, nothing in the Wall Street Journal. Looks like India is backing down on, and they have very, very high tariffs on our goods going into that country, are cutting those down.

That’s what we want to see happen. We want to see tariff barriers come down. We want more trade. We don’t want less. Again, we’re going to see what’s going to happen next week. Europe, on the other hand, I don’t know. I don’t know how they’re going to go about reacting to this stories here. Europe arms for the tariff war. again, I mentioned this on the show. I don’t remember where I
read it today, maybe it was the New York Post, actually talking to restaurant owners in New York City, and how this 200 % tariff could destroy their business. Other more established restaurateurs, was Eric Ripper from the Beard Aiden there, the French restaurant in Manhattan, he actually came out and said, yeah, I don’t think that’s gonna happen. I don’t think it’s gonna go through.
There’ll probably be tariffs, but they’re not going to be that high. And we can, we can go ahead and we can deal with that. Yeah, it’s, it’s going to hurt certain business, but again, Europe knows it’s going to hurt them more. How Europe has gone after our companies. It’s always, it’s always lawfare. It’s always lawfare and story today and how the European union could slap Metta.
with a $1 billion fine. Trump vows to retaliate. Good. This has to stop. This is what Europe does. They don’t build anything. They don’t create anything, especially when it comes to technology. They just go after our companies. And Trump is not going to stand for it. And when it comes to this, I don’t give a shit if we got to take a hit for a short period of time.
to stick up for American businesses that are over there. Like I said, you know we’re gonna do? Stick it to them. Shut it off. Okay, no more Instagram, no more Facebook for Europe. See how they like it. You know we’d start doing? We’d start picking off countries left and right that would give a big, you know what, middle finger to Brussels and would rather do business with the United States. Quite frankly, that’s what I would do. If I was Howard Lutnick,
(04:46.286)
I would say, you know what, retire all your BS and all your crap there at the European Union. I just go to individual countries. Go to individual countries. And I don’t care how much it pisses them off. Okay? Who would you rather be your buddy? Would you rather the United States or would you rather the bureaucrats in Brussels?
I would. You’d end up freeing up these countries. Strike free trade deals with certain countries there. Again, you would watch the backlash, the European, it would be fantastic, but that’s what I would do at this point. And maybe that’s what they’re thinking about doing. But that’s all they got.
That’s all you’re gonna go after American tech companies. Okay, well we’ll shut them. We’ll shut them off. What are you gonna do? You don’t have anything there. You don’t build anything. You don’t create anything. Okay, you’re completely reliant upon our stuff, which is fine, but you don’t need to be a, you don’t need to be a penis head about it.
Yeah, you don’t need to be, okay? Again, all right, you’re gonna go after them because they’re violating antitrust rules. Antitrust rules?
Who were they? mean, there’s a lot of, there’s many, different social media companies. know, TikTok, I know Facebook owns Instagram. I wish they spin the thing off. I think that’d be much better. You’ve got X. There’s a bunch of them, there not? Did you guys have one you’re working on? I didn’t think so. I didn’t think so. Anyway, anyway, Operation Get Trump is on.
(06:38.83)
when it comes to the Wall Street Journal. And again, we’re gonna give it to you straight here on the program into some of the things we like and some of the things that we don’t like when it comes to tariffs. This is the stuff that has to stop. But again, be careful, okay? A lot of the business programming out there right now, they’re on, you know, they’re a bit of a seek and destroy mission when it comes to Trump’s policies. Watchdog on wallstreet.com.
