Overview

• Donald Trump publicly recommended Keith Poole, Editor-in-Chief of the New York Post, to take over leadership of the Wall Street Journal, calling the paper 'highly inaccurate' and 'China-centric.'
• Trump’s criticism follows Wall Street Journal editorials warning that his tariff policies could harm global confidence and jeopardize his presidency.
• The New York Post, while generally pro-Trump, has also criticized his tariffs, arguing they damage small businesses and his voter base.
• Both publications are owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp but differ significantly in style and audience, with the Post favoring tabloid-style coverage and the Journal focusing on business and investigative reporting.
• The Wall Street Journal, under current editor Emma Tucker, has maintained its critical stance on Trump's economic policies despite his escalating attacks.
