The Wall Street Journal hating Trump is not being taken lightly by Your Survival Guy. If the editors thought Making America Great Again was going to be painless, they should think again. And I’m not talking about the Epstein files.

When you look at the WSJ headlines railing against the latest jobs report as if it’s Trump’s fault (it’s not) and the ink wasted on Citadel CEO Ken Griffin’s crusade against Trump’s reforms of the Federal Reserve, what you see is the establishment Right controlling the newspaper.

Let’s see, when you change the economy by reducing the size of government and also place tariffs on imports to put America First, there will be blood. This isn’t a softball game featuring a lineup of Biden, Harris, Newsom, and the rest of the gang. This is a fight to get the country back in the hands of the Main Street Americans who have always made it great.

When Your Survival Guy reads the comments from WSJ readers, it’s shocking—not that shocking anymore—how they rant against Trump. You’re in the front row seat of a fight between those who don’t have the strength to see change through with some patience and the silent majority who do. This takes time. Get a clue, WSJ.

Action Line: Big rewards come from undergoing some pain and making sacrifices. Turning America around after decades of mismanagement was never going to be easy. It’s a long-term strategy.
