Trump Supporters

I think WSJ, even if they lean center-right, is like all other legacy media. And like the rest, fail or refuse to understand the traditional Trump supporters. His supporters are pro-free markets but anti-globalism; pro-strong military but anti-war; pro-legal immigration and vehemently anti-immigration. You can go on and on. And Trump gets that and that’s why he was voted into power, not the media. His mandate is to satisfy his constituents and not the media. The media could keep making fun of him and only provide opinions or do what they are expected to do at the first place, which is analyze and report news objectively as it happened.
