Wall Street Journal Editorial Slams Donald Trump:  “The Buck Stops Everywhere Else!”

Dear Commons Community,

The Wall Street Journal this morning has a blistering editorial on Donald Trump over his tweeting, his undermining of staff and appointees, and his criticism of the mayor of London over this weekend’s terror attack on London Bridge.   The title, The Buck Stops Everywhere Else, portrays Trump as the ultimate incompetent who blames everyone else but himself for his and his administration’s shortcomings. The editorial concludes:

“If this pattern continues, Mr. Trump may find himself running an Administration with no one but his family and the Breitbart staff. People of talent and integrity won’t work for a boss who undermines them in public without thinking about the consequences. And whatever happened to the buck stops here? … Mark it all down as further evidence that the most effective opponent of the Trump Presidency is Donald J. Trump.”

The editorial is also notworthy considering that the Wall Street Journal is owned and controlled by Rupert Murdoch, one of Trump’s friends and biggest supporters. It’s not the first time the WSJ has questioned Trump’s competence, check out Loose Lips Sink Presidencies and Tower of Babel.

Tony
