Rupert Murdoch’s flagship business newspaper has attacked Donald Trump for his “self-destructive” hate campaign against the chairman of the Federal Reserve.
Opening with the scornful line “There he goes again,” the Wall Street Journal editorial board took aim at Trump’s renewed threat to fire Jerome Powell, 73, whom Trump himself appointed in 2017 before Joe Biden reappointed him.
During a Fox Business interview on Wednesday, Trump had declared he would “have to fire him” if Powell did not step aside when his term as chairman expires on May 15. “I’ve wanted to fire him, but I hate to be controversial,” the 79-year-old president added.
