Thursday morning, the _Wall Street_ _Journal_ published [an editorial](http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-gop-on-economics-1447224376) knocking Donald Trump on his trade comments during Tuesday night’s Fox Business debate. The editorial says, --- > “” --- Trump then wrote a series of five tweets lashing out at the _Wall Street Journal_ for its editorial judgment and defending his knowledge of the trade deal. > [](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/664768772683776000) > [](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/664769890604175361) > [](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/664771064988332032) > [](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/664772537327448064) > [](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/664780488436031489) Later, Trump went back to Twitter to rail against a second [editorial](http://www.wsj.com/articles/a-good-debate-but-not-for-trump-1447285923) in the _Wall Street Journal_ published the same day, this one by Republican political operative Karl Rove. It declared Trump the “biggest loser” of Tuesday’s debate. Rove wrote: --- > “” --- Trump responded: > [](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/664820082325893121) > [](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/664821989996150784) Later Thursday, Rove hit back at Trump for his tweet-storm with some “free advice” for the candidate: > [](https://twitter.com/KarlRove/status/664896726117933056) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4109822/donald-trump-karl-rove-trade/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4109822/donald-trump-karl-rove-trade/"},"headline":"Donald Trump Lashes Out At Wall Street Journal Editorials","datePublished":"2015-11-12T13:46:02.000Z","dateModified":"2024-01-24T13:19:47.000Z","description":"He doesn't like criticism","url":"https://time.com/4109822/donald-trump-karl-rove-trade/","keywords":["2016 Election topic","Donald Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9ca9c44f4830e9c2/6988700f0b72e3bd676e6b67/trump.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tessa Berenson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9ca9c44f4830e9c2/6988700f0b72e3bd676e6b67/trump.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Donald Trump's \"Crippled America\" Book Press Conference","caption":"Donald Trump's \"Crippled America\" Book Press Conference","creditText":"Noam Galai—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4109822/donald-trump-karl-rove-trade/","name":"Donald Trump Lashes Out At Wall Street Journal Editorials"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"TIME Raw: Donald Trump Suggests Starbucks Boycott","description":"TIME Raw: Donald Trump Suggests Starbucks Boycott","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/2DwTaWSv/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-11-10T13:09:22.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/2DwTaWSv.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4109822/donald-trump-karl-rove-trade/","duration":"PT19S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4109822/donald-trump-karl-rove-trade/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
