In my view, some of the most important resistance to Trump 2.0 comes from the WSJ editorial writers, who criticize Trump 2.0 much more frequently than Trump 1.0. In fact, I resubscribed to the WSJ in 2016 because I wanted to see how the editorial pages, which are typically staunch supporters of Republican administrations, were going to handle Trump 1.0.

Today they reported the salient facts that Trump announced his opposition to the new bridge connecting Detroit and Canada after the commerce secretary, Herald Ludnick, met with the owner of a competing bridge who will benefit from the new bridge never coming into operation. What surprised me was not that the WSJ would come out against this crony capitalism.

The final line in the editorial “Trump’s Crony Canadian Bridgegate” made me laugh out loud. They write:

If Democrats retake the House this fall, the Trump Administration will spend its final two years working in the shade, because it’ll be hard to see the sun through flying subpoenas.
