The Wall Street Journal criticized President Trump's tariffs, blaming them for August's weak jobs report. Manufacturing shed 12,000 jobs, and overall job growth has significantly slowed since the tariffs were implemented. The Journal highlights the contrast between the current average of 27,000 new jobs monthly versus 167,000 under Biden. Trump blames the Federal Reserve and dismissed the poor numbers, but the Journal suggests Supreme Court intervention to overturn the tariffs as beneficial for the economy.
