WSJ Editorial Board’s Work to Undermine Donald Trump Has Persisted for a DecadeBradley Jaye 27 Mar 2025
The Wall Street Journal editorial board is continuing its attempts to undermine President Donald Trump and his administration, often through thinly-veiled “advice” and “suggestions” to the president to obscure their contempt for his America First agenda.
The paper’s decade-long crusade against Trump reveals a view of geopolitics through the clouded lens of a bygone era, when the Journal possessed more influence and its globalist worldview was shared by the elites who dominated Republican Party politics.
In fighting imagined threats from foes long receded from the global stage, the paper also has advocated for the Republican Party to embrace its former smaller, more manageable coalition that disintegrated even before Trump revitalized the party.
The Journal’s longstanding editorial position in support of open borders and maximalist free trade policies has made it the vanguard of opposition to Trump’s populist economic and immigration policies that prioritize Main Street over Wall Street. And the paper’s hawkish neoconservative foreign policy stances are at odds with Trump’s noninterventionist America First beliefs.
The paper’s open hostility to Trump began less than a month after he announced his candidacy in the summer of 2015, when the Journal’s editorial board urged conservative media to condemn Trump, comparing conservative’s treatment of the headline-grabbing mogul to 20th century liberals’ embrace of communism.
