Trump Fires Back at ‘Ever Dwindling,’ Murdoch-Owned WSJ

The Wall Street Journal, rag of the conservative elite, published a scorching editorial against celebrity plutocrat Donald Trump Monday morning, warning the GOP field to stop countenancing his nonsense.

Trump, who has never, ever let an insult go by, responded by trashing the paper:

The ever dwindling @WSJ which is worth about 1/10 of what it was purchased for, is always hitting me politically. Who cares!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 20, 2015

This is, of course, about more than the WSJ. The paper is run by Rupert Murdoch, who also has been highly critical of Trump’s nascent campaign, going back to his comments on immigration. Murdoch also owns Fox news, which went into full defense mode over Trump’s immigration comments, but has shown signs of backing off following his statements about POWs. If Trump loses his Fox support, it could further isolate him from the GOP mainstream, eventually costing him in the polls.
