“The most striking fact of his speech was how backward looking it was,” the editorial board said. “Every incumbent needs to remind voters of his record, Mr. Trump more than most because the media are so hostile.”

Yet, Trump is asking for four more years, the Journal questioned.

“Yet, Mr. Trump is asking for four more years, and his preoccupation with vindicating 2016 won’t resonate much beyond his core supporters,” the editorial said. Yet, according to analysts, that’s what they’re hoping to do for 2020, expand the Trump base.

“One paradox is that his main policy successes have come from pursuing a conventional conservative agenda,” the op-ed continued. “The failures have been on the issues like trade and immigration that are the most identified with Trumpian disruption.”

1. He already got tax cuts

WSJ is done with him.

2. Disengenuous

1) They know that everything Trump does is about him. Trump sees himself as the victim, everything he does is to get even with his detractors or throw red meat to the freak base.

2) The media is hostile? The King Freak himself has attacked the press with the goal to control them, and cow them into doing his bidding. WSJ can't be ignorant of that, so much for standing up for your profession.

3. A smart candidate would say ...

The planet cannot survive any more Trump/Republican rule, and point out why.
And then say that over and over and over.

Because, DU gets it, right?
But the non-DU type folks...they need to hear it ..often.
