Fox News contributor Leslie Marshall blasted President Donald Trump for a “screw up” after he walked back his so-called reciprocal tariffs for 90 days.
During the Sunday Fox News Media Buzz program, host Howard Kurtz pointed out that White House Secretary Karoline Leavitt blamed reporters for not understanding Trump’s “Art of the Deal” in response to the decision to postpone tariffs.
“I would say that, you know, there are many people in this country, even some that voted for the president, they’re not going to drink the Kool-Aid, Howard, and they’re not going to be brainwashed by this,” Marshall replied. “We have economists. We have very staunch Republican Trump-supporting financial wizards out there that said this was bad.”
“This was not a deal. This was not artful. This was a big screw up.”
The Fox News contributor noted that stock market gains prompted by the tariff pause were lost within 24 hours.
