Wall Street Journal compares Trump to 'a drunk' clinging to 'an empty gin bottle'

in scathing editorial. Mar 21, 2017


'The words of President Donald Trump and his White House staff are, in no small way, a matter of national security and credibility, and those things have entered a danger zone, a Wall Street Journal editorial argued on Tuesday.

The conservative-leaning editorial board pointed to Trump's debunked claim that domestic and international entities had colluded with the Obama administration to spy on Trump's campaign during the 2016 presidential election.'>>>

The editorial board concluded: "If he doesn't show more respect for the truth, most Americans may conclude he's a fake president."

Of course, if the WSJ had continued to be so scathing, there might be fewer rich people thinking they still come out ahead by supporting him.
