Wall Street Journal blasts Trump in scathing editorial over shutdown threats

The Wall Street Journal's editorial board on Monday slammed for his latest threat to shut down the government, asking whether Trump cares if Democrats retake control of the House this year.

In a news story on Monday night, the Journal reported that Trump has privately agreed to put off the fight over the wall until after the election.

Trump's threats have rattled Republicans who believe a shutdown ahead of the election would hurt their party.

In its editorial, the Journal asked whether Trump was again getting advice from former adviser.

The editorial states that it would fit Bannon's profile of stressing "Issues that polarize the electorate to drive voter turnout among the Trump base."

The Journal has frequently aimed heavy scrutiny against Trump.

"Good luck to Republicans running on the Trump tariffs in November," the editorial board wrote.
