Trump Response to WSJ Editorial: Nobody Cares Much
Former President Donald Trump on Thursday fired back at a Wall Street Journal editorial issued last Tuesday: Nobody cares much. The editorial called out the Republican Party to move on from Trump. In effect, the Wall Street Journal blamed him for the GOP’s recent string of losses.

Nobody Cares Much
In a statement released Thursday, Trump accused the paper’s opinion section of supporting “globalist policies” and fighting for Republicans RINOs (Republican In Name Only). Specifically, he said the WSJ supports policies that subject America to bad trade deals, porous borders, and endless wars. Also, the WSJ supports RINOs, a GOP subset that he said hurt the Republican Party. In addition, Trump said that thankfully, nobody pays attention to the news organization. “They have lost credibility,” he wrote.
WSJ Editorial
Earlier, the WSJ editorial board published a scathing editorial last March 2. They called on the GOP leadership to start moving away from the Trump era. In particular, they claimed that while Trump won his election in 2016, he lost the next one. Then, Trump also played a big role in losing the House and the Senate. Consequently, the GOP lost two traditional red states, Georgia and Arizona.
The paper also blamed the former President for losing Georgia’s runoff race. The Democrats captured two Senate seats there, tipping the Senate balance of power to Democrats. “As long as Republicans focus on the grievances of the Trump past, they won’t be a governing majority,” the editorial board concluded.
Donald Trump’s Reply In Full
Not one to ignore brickbats, Trump fired back at the WSJ. He took the time to respond to WSJ to set the record straight. Here is his full statement:
“The Wall Street Journal 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 that have so badly hurt the Republican Party. That’s where they are and that’s where they will always be. Fortunately, nobody cares much about The Wall Street Journal editorial anymore. They have lost great credibility.”
“To set the record straight, there were two reasons the Senate races were lost in Georgia. First, Republicans did not turn out to vote because they were so angry and disappointed with Georgia Republican leadership and Governor Kemp for failing to stand up to Stacey Abrams and the disastrous Consent Decree that virtually eliminated signature verification requirements across the state (and much worse), and was not approved by the State Legislature as required by the Constitution—having a major impact on the result, a rigged election. Second, 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. 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!”
“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. He would have lost badly without this endorsement.”
WSJ Issues A Response to Trump
Soon after Trump’s statement, the WSJ issued yet another editorial going over Trump’s responses. After rebutting the former President’s statements, they concluded that losing to “Joe Biden of all people” must feel painful. Soon as Trump and the GOP realize and accept their loss, the sooner they can position themselves for the next elections. They also mocked Trump’s dismissal of their paper. “For someone who says we don't matter, he sure spends a lot of time reading and responding to us. Thanks for the attention,” the wrote.

We were long time (15+ years) subscribers to the WSJ ($550 per year!) and canceled during the 2020 election. Obviously Rhino’s did not get the message.
Trump can and will fix the problems, THE DUMCRATS WILL ONLY MAKE THING WORST !!!!
We all care about the WSJ. Just not Rump. No misspelling! Lol… Republicans will not see the White House again until they separate themselves from the Rump, his politicians and their corrupt agenda. No Misspelling!
We do not have a government all we have is an elegal cabal
President Trump is my President now and always. We all were cheated on November 3rd. 2020 and now we have a Government running as fast as they c an to take our Country down. How greedy of the Dems to take all the American people and sell us out to the Communist just for their own fortunes. Our Supreme Court sold us out for their jobs and to try to buy the dems favor so they wouldn’t Pack the Court.
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND GOD BLESS OUR PRESIDENT TRUMP WHO IS STILL FIGHTING FOR AMERICA. Maybe THE MILITARY WILL SAVE OUR NATION. That IS THE ONLY HOPE WE HAVE THAT GOD WILL GRANT THEM THE WISDOM TO TAKE POWER AWAY FROM THE ONES WHO WOULD DESTROY OUR AMERICA. If they don’t, that will destroy all of us but the Military first. China and the dems in power here will not let us raise up and try to protect our freedom.
The WSJ is placating to the subscription filling globalists, who by the way run the Federal Reserve as well.
The 2020 election results that gave the White House, the Senate, and the House democrat victories or majorities or control had nothing to do with turning away from Trump. It was a rigged, fraudulent, stolen…..election that the powers that be don’t want the American public nor the worlds peoples to know. And it’s very sad that those who could make a real difference and have an investigation into all the allegations hasn’t said a word about that. That’s because Biden/Harris and others who have benefitted or even made millions from those “victories” know the truth, like all of Trumps supporters do, like even most of the world knows. The thing is what should that tell all of us about the future of our country and the future for the world, iIts not a pretty sight, but is definitely on the horizon to a New World Order.

The Republican Party is Toast. I no longer consider myself a Republican and will NOT in anyway vote without him. The integrity of our Country is LOST. We need a new Party. McConnell and Pence had there chance and bent to the Democrats and the election was stolen. I’m from Indiana and Pence is hidden himself deep in the State. So you Republicans separate yourselves from us. We will prevail with or without you.
WSJ doesn’t mean anything to me
Trump is destroying my party. I am now considered an independent.
F wsj 🖕🏼
WSJ is a failure and now has joined the fake news crowd. Like the Democrats, they want to eat the pie and leave real Americans to lick the bowl. I for one am sick of them and all of the liberal socialst front groups.
Who cares about WSJ, they are dividing our country. We the people are in charge and want Trump to continue to be our President. Do what is right. All he needs to do is tell the public and news all the great things he has done for our country.
“You are more than you appear to be, The Best is yet to come”
When your enemy is telling you how to run your party, should you listen?
If tRump Cared about the UNITED STATES Like Nancy says he does he would have kept us in good standings with the UN and others like fighting for the ozone this Nancy lady is full of crap get off his lap and stop drinking his juice lady
To those yelling how great Biden is doing..you can pay my bills for fuel..by my food because farmers will not be allowed to grow or raise much..Biden wants to pay other countries to ship their goods here..while your at it you support the million + illegals pouring in. Your sheep..do your research cause honey your all just buying a bridge..oh and dont 4get to ask Biden to pop out every 100 days to say something even if its incoherent.
WSJ continues to attack President Trump and he is no longer in office. Just like the wretched Democrats, they can’t let go of trying to destroy him; the hate has no depth. Their reply sounds like a petty child. The WSJ is part of the big problem in our country – biased reporting and disinformation.
THE WSJ SHOULD STICK TO MARKET REPORTING & LEAVE THE POLITICS TO THE NEW YORK TIMES, WASHINGTON POST AND CNN TO NAME A FEW. HAVING LIVED UNDER, NOW, 14 PRESIDENT’S AND A TAXPAYER OF 50 YEARS, I CAN UNEQUIVOCABLY SAY, PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THE ONLY PRESIDENT TO GRACE THE WHITE HOUSE SINCE WWII, THAT HAS PUT THIS COUNTRY FIRST AND HE ACCOMPLISHED IT WHILE BE PERSECUTED EVERY DAY FOR 4 YEARS.
SUPERIOR STENGTH IS WHAT WE NEED, CAUSE LORD KNOWS THE ELEPHANTS IN WASHINGTON DON’T HAVE THE BACKBONE TO WORK FOR US!
once upon a time the wsj was a unbiased reporter of news ect. now it is full of libtard liberal hacks with one agenda.(distroy Trump and America loving people) and usher in a anti Amercan bunch of idiots who have no idea what this country means to the world.
The WSJ is slowly making themselves a thing of the past. When a majority do not want to hear your left-wing ,biased views, one would think you would print reliable, true and unbiased newsif only to save your biased a****.
Hey CT, President Trump tried to sort out the Republican party but they’re frauds amd all part of thr swamp, I guess you’re ok with that. Hey Frank Garza you are delusional, the UN is a political joke, that unfortunately drais the US taxes, without other countries paying their fair share, and then they turn their back on us. They should be thrown out and we should withdraw.and the ozone, that’s so funny I can’t even respond to it. You do realize every four years the left screams about the environment as they fly solo in planes around the world and taking private cars everywhere
They’ve said ee only have 10 years left, since the 60’s!
Rag news newspaper, has no merits!
@CT.. President Trump is more your party, lol..you been on this site bashing Trump. Come up from your mom’s basement and get a job….! An independent, you a progressive lefty through and through!!!!
WSJ is like CNN and like FOX…….a fading star.
Did WSJ ever denounce the Democrat election fraud? I’ll bet not.
WSJ? We’re Stupid Jerks ???
We have long had two political parties in the US: the evil party and the stupid party. It’s little surprise that, after four years of Trump’s America First policy, the evil party is crying for the return of the stupid party.

PRAY FPR THIS COUNTRY ‘GOD ‘ IS OUR ONLY ANSWER 11111
Trump was undoubtedly the best President in my lifetime (80 years) and accomplished more in four years than any other President in history! I don’t know why the average citizen/voter cannot see the success. The man in the White house now is a total loser. How long will he be allowed to remain? His running mate is even worse…
The WSU (Wall Street URINAL)that use to be a strong network of information and now it is gust another spin-off with all of the other left wing WORD MERCHANTS where they all get their info from the closest dumpster, the DNC. The lib’s know that when the mask moron Biden opens his pie hole his five minutes of Gab will fade quickly and then he can go back to the closest basement. President Trump did not lose the office and at least over 100M LEGAL VOTERS know it and that Trump will be back as soon as we can get some real judges to call the 2020 election a piece of leftist POS full of fraud, lies, and deception. If he runs in 28 you can bet that the real voters will make sure that no luggage or cardboard boxes with vote ballots get into the voting booths.
WSJ is a daily advertisement for the Democratic Party. Wouldn’t surprise me if they receive compensation from the DNC for the liberal vomit they print. I didn’t vote for a personality president. America was drowning under Democrat policies. Trump laid out his policy promises and he kept them. What a novel idea. The reason he is so despised, especially by the swamp in DC is Because he is a business man, not a politician, thereby paving the way for his record-breaking and history making economic and foreign policy success, none of which would have happened were he a politician. And now? Even the Republican Party, with a few exceptions, have abandoned fighting for Trump’s policies to play politics and save their own asses just to stay in the GAME. Because to nearly every single member of Congress, it seems that’s all it is. A game. At the expense of WE THE PEOPLE.
Trump shows he loves our country. Honesty is no longer a virtue. GET OVER HIS SPEAKING AND LOOK AT HIS RESULTS. nO ONE OUT THEIR WITH HIS VIRTUES. GROW UP! NO ONE IS PERFECT. LOOK TO HIS HEART. EVERYONE ELSE IS LOOKING TO FILL HIS NWEEDS NOT THE COUNTRY’S.
Trump is right 100% and WSJ is no way any better the the Enquirer there just another liberal rag. They know Trump won the election and that’s why they never investigated the fraud committed by the left. I wouldn’t use there paper to line my hamster cage if I had one.

Did not see the original editorial, but I must say that the Speaker of the House shows how wrong the direction of government is when she continues to wrap prison fence and armed military around the people’s house. The grand old party is never going back to the sheep that once populated it. There will will be a revolution that her prison fencing will not protect her from if the bullying and taunting Liberian agenda continues. We now know what good can be done no matter the evil thrown in the way. There is far more than 80 million watching them destroy this country. China, Russia, and Europe know what’s coming they have all seen it happen before. They are waiting to see when exceptional Americans will finally say enough. They do not understand the system will bend but it will not break. We did not come this far to turn around and go home with our tail between our legs. We are the flag our fathers died for and we will not take a knee for anyone, least of all those members hiding behind the razor wire. There is only one man who understands that and we will stand beside not in back of that man. If you know your Bible stories the impossible is possible with faith and all the twisted election law will not beat it.
NO ONE CARES WHAT TRUMP THINKS (if he does)
Freudian …..Standard Breakers,,,,, her viewpoint is slanted to the left.
