Trump Dances on the Weekly Standard's Grave: 'Pathetic and Dishonest'

[DonViejo]

President Donald Trump unleashed on The Weekly Standard in a tweet Saturday morning, a day after the conservative magazine announced it would be closing down.

The Weekly Standard, founded in 1995 by Bill Kristol, has been deeply critical of the president and his brand of conservatism. Kristol — a leading voice of the Never Trump movement — currently serves as the mag’s editor at large, while Stephen Hayes is its editor in chief.

The owner of The Weekly Standard, Clarity Media Group, announced on Friday the magazine would be shuttering after 23 years. In an op-ed, founding editor John Podhoretz accused the magazine’s current owners of murdering the Weekly Standard. He wrote that they would not allow for its sale, and suggested they intended to harvest the magazine’s subscriber base for its other publication, The Washington Examiner — which has embraced Trump to a greater extent than TWS.
