Trump Absolutely Loses It On Wall Street Journal After Being Called A ‘sucker’
President Donald Trump lashed out after a Wall Street Journal columnist called him a “sucker.” Elliot Kaufman, a Wall Street Journal editorial board member, wrote an opinion piece titled “The Iranians Take Trump for a Sucker,” arguing Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz again after Trump announced it was reopened. Trump responded Tuesday on Truth Social in all caps: “THE WALL STREET JOURNAL HAS LOST ITS WAY!” He called Kaufman an “IDIOT” and a “MORON,” and said Iran had taken advantage of every president “except me.” Trump also claimed Iran’s Navy is “at the bottom of the sea,” its nuclear labs were “obliterated” in a June 2025 attack, and the Strait of Hormuz is “totally controlled by the U.S.”
