Air Force One, Trump's emotions suddenly spiraled out of control. When faced with interviews from journalists, after a string of incoherent remarks, he surprisingly brought the topic back to China.

Trump recently ended his vacation at Mar-a-Lago and returned to Washington aboard Air Force One. During the flight, he accepted questions from the media.

【When it was The Wall Street Journal reporter's turn to ask a question, Trump suddenly "snapped" and lost emotional control.】

When it was The Wall Street Journal reporter's turn to ask a question, Trump suddenly "snapped" and lost emotional control, refusing to answer questions and harshly attacking The Wall Street Journal as a "terrible newspaper," accusing it of being an agent for China.

He said: "You people have been too hard on me. The Wall Street Journal has completely fallen apart... We don't want to waste time with you."

This reporter just wanted to ask about the US-Russia leader talks, but Trump immediately lost control and directly brought up China.

Whether The Wall Street Journal is a "terrible newspaper" is not evaluated here, but it is definitely not "China's agent." This is all nonsense from Trump when he was emotionally失控.

【The Wall Street Journal is a newspaper under media tycoon Murdoch.】

It's very simple: The Wall Street Journal is a newspaper under media tycoon Murdoch, and the famous pro-Republican media - Fox News Channel - is also owned by Murdoch. But Trump never criticized Fox, and even his Defense Secretary Higgenbotham was a former host of Fox Television.

It must be pointed out that among the mainstream media in the United States today, The Wall Street Journal, which holds a conservative stance, is one of the most fair and impartial in reporting on Trump.

On one hand, unlike The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN and other left-leaning media, which are so sharp against Trump. After Trump won the election in 2017, The Washington Post set "Democracy Dies in Darkness" as its new slogan; The New York Times even implied that Trump was the "Hitler of the New Era."

On the other hand, unlike Fox News, Breitbart News and other traditional right-wing media, which constantly praise Trump excessively and strive to whitewash him. Although the Republican Party has been largely Magaized, The Wall Street Journal has always avoided falling into the Magaization trap.

【Although the Republican Party has been largely Magaized, The Wall Street Journal has always avoided falling into the Magaization trap.】

Indeed, The Wall Street Journal has exposed many negative news about Trump, but neither in quantity nor intensity can they compare with the mainstream left-leaning media, and they usually adopt a "only report, no comment" attitude.

When Trump started his second term, The Wall Street Journal also said some good words for Trump. It wasn't until the announcement of "reciprocal tariffs" that the negative reports on Trump increased sharply, criticizing Trump's tariff policies.

In fact, during Trump's first term, his attitude towards The Wall Street Journal was quite good. After Trump won the election, the editor-in-chief of the paper even got the opportunity for Trump's first interview.

Now Trump's attitude has undergone a 180-degree change and he even lost emotional control. The reason may be his dissatisfaction with The Wall Street Journal's reporting on tariff issues. He boasted that his tariff policy had "achieved a series of victories," and blamed the 0.3% GDP shrinkage in the first quarter entirely on Biden, but media outlets like The Wall Street Journal naturally sang counterpoints.

【Trump was dissatisfied with The Wall Street Journal's reporting on tariff issues.】

The Wall Street Journal is a conservative-leaning media outlet, but it also has influence from Wall Street behind it, and many important sources come from Wall Street. In this tariff war, Wall Street suffered heavy losses, the U.S. bond market plummeted, and the dollar weakened abnormally. Therefore, The Wall Street Journal naturally speaks for these people.

This is normal, and to be honest, most of The Wall Street Journal's tariff reports only state facts, unlike the left-leaning media that constantly make sharp comments. Previously, an Associated Press journalist was expelled from the White House for refusing to call the Gulf of Mexico the "American Bay"; now a similar plot has happened again with The Wall Street Journal.

Under immense pressure, Trump can no longer bear any opposing voices, even if it's just stating facts.

Musk should be well aware of this. In this wave of "reciprocal tariffs," Musk suffered huge losses, and he personally opposed this policy strongly.

【Under immense pressure, Trump can no longer bear any opposing voices.】

But he dared not criticize Trump publicly, only silently forwarding videos on social media explaining the benefits of international trade using a pencil by an American economist, and pointing the finger at President Advisor Peter Navarro, who designed the tariff policy.

It was reported that Musk privately advised Trump to abandon the tariffs, but it didn't work.

The result now is that Musk will soon end his work in the "Department of Government Efficiency" at the end of May. Not long ago, when answering the question of whether he regretted supporting Trump in an interview, he "accidentally" expressed regret, then quickly corrected himself saying he didn't regret it, and told the interviewer "cut this part and don't broadcast it."

"Spring tide water warms ducks know first." In theory, Musk can stay in the "Department of Government Efficiency" until July (all terms are calculated based on working days, excluding holidays). But he is pulling out now, partly because Tesla is giving him too much pressure; on the other hand, he probably also sees Trump's inevitable failure and timely distances himself.

If 82-year-old Biden's label is "senile dementia," then Trump, who will be 79 next month, is labeled as "emotionally unstable." As time passes, Trump's failures increase, and he becomes increasingly fragile and stubborn. It can be foreseen that facing cruel reality, Trump will have more "moments of losing control" in the future.
