It's pretty bad when the Republican, conservative Wall Street Journal
cuts trump a new one...

from the 7/18/17 WSJ:

The Journal urged Trump, his family and his associates to release any
pertinent information regarding meetings, communications and business
dealings with Russians or anyone connected to Russia, with the rationale
that the “short-term political damage” is preferable to “death by a
thousand cuts of selective leaks.”

Although Trump is regularly pilloried by more liberal editorial boards,
the Journal’s caustic attack against the Republican commander in chief
is striking. The paper is under the umbrella of News Corporation, Rupert
Murdoch’s media conglomerate, which that operates the Trump-friendly Fox
News.

The editorial board noted that Trump is unlikely to heed its advice.

“Mr. Trump somehow seems to believe that his outsize personality and
social-media following make him larger than the Presidency,” the Journal
cautioned. “He’s wrong. He and his family seem oblivious to the brutal
realities of Washington politics. Those realities will destroy Mr.
Trump, his family and their business reputation unless they change their
strategy toward the Russia probe. They don’t have much more time to do it.”
