A Wall Street Journal columnist placed his bets on a future Trump impeachment after the president's chaotic tariff rollout sent markets spiraling last week. Holman W. Jenkins Jr., a columnist and editorial board member at The Journal, wrote in a blistering opinion piece Friday that President Donald Trump appears to be asking for impeachment with his "ill-founded trade war." "A future Trump impeachment seemed all but guaranteed by last Wednesday morning," Jenkins said, referring to the day that Trump hit pause on his devastating tariffs following a historic stock market crash. "It seems only slightly less likely now. It may even be desirable to restore America's standing with creditors and trade partners."

Even if you think Trump is right about this spectacular exercise in economic self harm, if you're a Republican politician, odds are strong that you disagreed with what he's claiming 10 years " and in some cases 10 hours " ago. Maybe you've been studying the flimsy protectionist literature of the last decade and been convinced. But you probably are just outsourcing your judgment to partisan or personality cult --------. And if you're not speaking out against this garbage you're passively supporting it. Congrats. You own this crap. " Jonah Goldberg (@JonahDispatch) April 2, 2025
The Republican Congress could end this nonsense tomorrow by simply yanking back *their* tariff power that previous congresses stupidly handed over to the president. But they won't. It is their choice as much as Trump's to make this happen." David French (@DavidAFrench) April 3, 2025
Politically engineered messaging masquerading as the voice of the common man didn't have the saturation or the penetration it has today.
