Fox’s Jesse Watters did his best to downplay the coming economic damage from Trump’s “liberation day” tariffs and helped Trump push his insane lies on where the numbers came from.
As we discussed here, Republicans are finally getting a little wobbly on this, even though it’s much too little too late. But the lying liars over on Fox are still all in with pretending this madness is going to lead to the greatest economy ever!
Here’s Watters pretending that tariffs did no damage to the economy during Trump’s first term on his show this Wednesday:
WATTERS: Trump’s been talking about winning trade wars since the 90s. He raised tariffs in his first term, and we had the highest wage growth in 50 years, a manufacturing renaissance, and a hot stock market, oh, and no inflation.
And this term, he’s going even bigger.
Which was followed by showing portions of Trump’s insane presser where he was holding up signs on his supposed “reciprocal tariffs,” which, were not reciprocal.
Watters then proceeded to pretend Trump’s numbers were real and “explain” what “free trade” was to his audience.
