WSJ says Trump 'cheerleaders' ought to be 'embarrassed' after his latest 'retreat'

The Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board took a shot at President Donald Trump's biggest "cheerleaders" after he quietly walked back a punishing furniture tariff in a thinly veiled bid to prevent Americans from seeing costs soar.

Trump threw a curveball on New Year's Eve, when his administration quietly walked back steep levies on furniture, kitchen cabinets, and vanities, delaying the planned 30% to 50% tariffs for a full year while keeping a still-painful 25% border tax in place.
