Increase labor supply:
Leads to lower labor costs (cuts Americans' incomes)

Donald Trump has a new media adversary: The Wall Street Journal editorial board.
On Wednesday evening, the Journal published a piece titled "The GOP on Economics," critiquing the candidates' policies and remarks during Tuesday night's debate, which the publication co-sponsored with Fox Business. In particular, the article mentioned that Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul had corrected Trump when he appeared to imply that China is a part of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal.
In its editorial, the board wrote: "Mr. Trump said on these pages Tuesday that he would label China a currency manipulator on his first day as President, triggering tariffs on thousands of Chinese goods.

"Today's @WSJ Editorial is WRONG again. I know that China is not in the new T.P.P. trade deal but would come in latter through a back door," Trump tweeted Thursday morning in a string of messages before his interview on "Fox and Friends."
"I know it intimately, although it is 6,000 pages," Trump told Fox News in a telephone interview. "All they had to do was call me, but it was so clear what I said at the debate, that they'll come back through the back," he added, referring again to China.
"You would think that a paper like The Wall Street Journal would call for a clarification," Trump said. "But they don't do that. They just write. That's why they're not a respected paper too much anymore."

Here is goes...ping.
Today, the WSJ Editorial Board denied Econ 101.
They said increased supply (of illegal labor) does not lead to reduced prices (wages for labor).
The WSJ are anti-American anti-economic crony capitalist pigs on steroids.
“You would think that a paper like The Wall Street Journal would call for a clarification,” Trump said. “But they don’t do that. They just write. That’s why they’re not a respected paper too much anymore.”
Yup, he nailed it. I’m encouraged every time one of the Republican candidates calls out the MSM to remind the public how dishonest and agenda driven they are.
China has been coming through the back door for 30 years, so why would one not suppose it would be the case with TPP? Rand was technically correct for this point in time, but Donald sees the future. And China IS a currency manipulator.

Equals fair and balanced journalism since they have shown a disdain for MrTrump from the git go? I don’t think so...

We’ve had massive illegal immigration (labor supply increase) coincident with massive reduction in average American wages (about 10%).
The facts are sitting right in front of us.
Extremely cheap competitors for carpentry work reduce the wages of current American carpenters. In every industry, including H1B visas for millions of Indian programmers to displace American college graduates.
Truth--as well as he can recognize it--is his guide, and let the chips fall where they may. That's leadership, and that's what America needs.
The WSJ is the propaganda arm of the Chamber of Amnesty. They have been GOPe forever and can’t believe their death grip on the nomination process is being threatened this time around. Trump can be comforted by the fact that this pompous club did not support Reagan in ‘76 either.
Trump is upsetting their apple cart.
WSJ is in all-out attack mode (this ‘editorial’ and Tokyo Rove’s Op-Ed) against Trump.
Give ‘em h@##, Trump!

Looks more like Jeb’s boys picked a fight with the Donald. Of course the source is the ever truthful Polutico!
Our ‘precious’ media, GOPe, and talking heads are not used to this treatment, after all they are the ‘protected’ hero's from the establishment and how dare someone come along and make them a ‘mockery’ of the scum they are....
Trump pi$$es off all the right people.
I am pleased.
They must now attack in the face of a counter-attack.
You do not win battles by running away, although you can flank to win if you don’t win face-to-face.
There you go!!
This is what Trump has been trying to explain for, well, years, now.
WSJ no likey this message.
got your back Donald!
You think the Obamabot media would get wise and learn....but...they never do!!! Every time the NY Times or Wall Street Journal pens an untrue negative about Donald Trump....”The Donald” gains another million or so supporters!!! These folks...like the Obamabot media, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News Channel, etc.....just don’t get it. They and their political cronies have little, or no, influence or impact on the vast majority of the American people!!! They never learn.....their fifteen minutes of fame is passing them by!!!
