Trump Jr Calls Out The Wall Street Journal
Former President Donald Trump’s eldest son is taking direct aim at The Wall Street Journal after the tragic ambush on National Guard troops near the White House reignited nationwide concerns over immigration and public safety.
Trump Jr.: Media “RINOs” Putting Refugees Before Americans
In a strongly worded post on X, Donald Trump Jr. accused the Journal’s editorial board of prioritizing Afghan refugees over the security of American citizens.
“Give me a break,” he wrote, criticizing what he described as a RINO-driven agenda that pushes for mass resettlement “from people who do not share our values.”
He argued that the immigration crisis is not just the fault of Democrats, but also of “globalist Republicans” who continue to downplay the risks associated with large-scale migrant programs.
WSJ Editorial Defends Afghan Resettlement Program
The Wall Street Journal recently published an editorial titled “The Ambush on the National Guard.”
The board insisted that the alleged actions of one Afghan migrant should not cast blame on all individuals brought to the U.S. under government assistance programs. They warned that broader restrictions could damage America’s credibility with future allies.
Conservatives, however, say this argument ignores the dangerous results of Biden-era immigration policies.
Attack Near White House Raises Serious Security Concerns
The debate escalated after prosecutors charged Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national who entered the United States under President Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome, with carrying out the deadly ambush.
Authorities say Lakanwal killed National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom and critically wounded Andrew Wolfe in an attack now being investigated for potential terrorism ties.
This incident has strengthened conservative warnings about the consequences of rushed vetting, mass resettlement, and relaxed immigration rules under the previous administration.
Washington Insiders Accused of Downplaying Threats
Trump Jr., along with policy adviser Stephen Miller, say the Washington establishment — including some right-leaning media — continues to soften or ignore the real threats tied to unvetted resettlement programs.
Federal officials say Lakanwal previously worked with a CIA-backed Afghan unit and later secured asylum during Trump’s current term. Now the administration has halted immigration processing for Afghan nationals and ordered a full review of all Afghans admitted during President Biden’s tenure.
That review includes asylum approvals, green card decisions, and security screenings for individuals from high-risk countries.
President Trump Promises Stronger, Permanent Security Measures
In response to the attack and growing public concern, President Donald Trump has renewed his call for a “permanent pause” on immigration from unstable or hostile regions — a move aimed at reversing many of the resettlement expansions enacted under President Biden.
Trump argues that America must prioritize national security, strong borders, and the protection of American communities, especially in light of attacks occurring just steps from the nation’s capital.
