Fox News Channel’s Peter Doocy thought he could pull a fast one on President Trump.
Doocy wasn’t expecting Trump to be prepared.
And Peter Doocy tried to trick Donald Trump with one brutal maneuver.
As American Media Watchdog reports:
Leftists are terrorizing Tesla dealerships across the country.
Deranged leftwing extremists are burning Tesla’s and stealing vehicles in an act of revenge against Elon Musk for his work with the Department of Government Efficiency.
President Trump wanted to send a message to these thugs that they won’t bully him or Musk into submission – so Trump bought a Tesla on the White House lawn right in front of the press.
And as per his usual, President Trump took questions from the press.
But for some reason, Peter Doocy took the leftwing framing and asked the President what message was being sent to the American people to see him standing side-by-side with the richest man in the world while the stock market was in the middle of a correction.
“What is your message, President Trump, buying a new car,” Doocy began, adding that “while there are some folks who will see this clip at home and they are struggling with their retirement accounts down at the moment? Uncertainty about work ahead?”
President Trump rejected Doocy’s flawed premise and said his tariff and trade policies were necessary to correct generational imbalances.
“Well, I think they’re gonna do great,” Trump stated. “I think we’re– our country had to do this. We had to go and do this. They’ve taken away, other countries have taken away our business. They’ve taken away our jobs. I did it, initially, very strongly against — as you know — China and some others in the first term; and it was a very successful term. We had no inflation. We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. And then we had Covid, which we had to straighten out.”
Trump’s team also touted economic news that showed jobs growing in desired manufacturing sectors as well as inflation cooling faster than expected.
“The economic news we’ve been seeing is really wonderful. It’s way above expectations of economists… 10,000 manufacturing jobs, 9,000 auto jobs… The lowest core inflation in four years. You can see that President Trump’s policies are working,” Chief Economic Advisor Kevin Hassett told Fox News.
In fact, inflation reached its lowest level since September 2021.
Gas prices fell to their lowest price since March 2021.
The price of eggs declined 21 percent after President Trump took office.
And mortgage rates fell for six consecutive weeks.
The American people elected President Trump to secure the border and get inflation under control.
President Trump closed the border with executive orders and illegal border crossings immediately plummeted more than 95 percent.
So even if the stock market is going through a correction, the President and his team have the metrics showing they’re still making headway on inflation now that the spigot of money Joe Biden pumped into the economy – in effort to create a fake boom and keep Democrats in power – got turned off.
