Lying Leavitt just repeats meaningless talking points.
You can only be angry, condescending and rude for so long. It will not change the fact people are turning on you.
I think Leavitt will implode.
Look at the beginning of the clip with her eyes closed. Looks like she is psyching herself up to lie
If there’s anything that screams “I’m a devout Christian who closely follows and models my life on the explicit teachings of Jesus” it’s definitely wearing a gold and diamond encrusted cross.
Cool, cool, so auto makers are going to accept paying US workers wages rather than current wages in lower cost countries? Without raising their prices? I doubt it.
Weeeel, Argentina isn't back after decades. Or UK post Empire. Or Spain. Etc. there is no natural world order that says USA has to have a very high level of average wealth. So, with enough Trump chaos, might be more of a correction than a blip
My camping gear may come in handy I guess. 100% understand about your cats, I have 2 dogs and have been buying extra food and medications for them in case it’s not available or affordable in the months to come.
Same for camping. I’ve decided not to take vacations this year but I will be car camping on BLM, state and forest lands, unless the 🍊💩 closes it all down.
That’s a good idea. My ginger boy is on a special cat food. I live in a small place so it’s hard to store anything, but I will order a bag of food today, thanks for the reminder👍
would be cool if fox explained that manufacturing at home, on the scale he is attempting to hit, would cost 10x more than purchased abroad even with the tariffs, due to wage gaps
“We have the best market…”
Sure… if you want to sell domestically and if Americans have any money left 😂 the rest of the world doesn’t want to come near any American products any more 🤬🖕🏼🥳

You know how you know this is bullshit, apart from the fact that Baghdad Barbie here is saying it? If the US was so great at manufacturing you wouldn't need tariffs to encourage manufacturing!
America doesn't have manfacurting jobs because the CEOs of America sold them to overseas countries for dirt cheap and kept the profits for themselves. Americans got used to the outsourcing, and now you're hard pressed to get the average American to fill one of those positions. 1st world problems...
Please convince Trump to do this. I want to see the political fallout from a president promising the American people that his economic policies WILL cause them economic pain.
I remember onesie the election, the Wall Street and CEOs kept coming on CNBC to assure people that Trump wasn’t going to actually enact all the insane things he said on the campaign trail. Now they are scared straight too. FAFO
Is it a cross or a T for trump? Lost bigly when she was running for office. Guess her husband couldn’t buy her a win so he paid trump to give her a job. Kind of a tacky dresser. No style le Pasaki and Karine.
This. And mostly because of instability. What they are proposing involves significant investment. Who is paying for that? The billionaires who fight against min wage? Gimme a break...
Oh please save us the pain of that Oval Office address! Donald Trump will just blame it all on Joe Biden and then ramble on for an hour and a half about the 2020 election being stolen, his plans for invading Greenland and annexing Canada and those damn faucets with no water coming out of them!
Let's say she's right and Pfizer in Ireland return to the US to avoid 25% tariffs. How long would it take them to build 4 new plants and employ 5,000 uni-educated employees? 3, 4, 5 years? And to leave the EU market? To save 25%? Their capital outlay would be in the billions. It's a nonsense.
It's not a tough decision for Pfizer. It's an easy decision and the only losers, yet again, are the US people who will pay yet more for their prescriptions but Trump doesn't give a fuck about you.
This is surely a joke because no one hires based on ability, intelligence, or even education.
Even there are no atheists in science anymore, or rather, they are a rarity.
What an 'effing joke, really, "short-term economic pain". These people are seriously delusional with their abject faith in the orange snake oil salesman.
Trump's address (full Transcript): "Biden's Fault and its Biden's Fault and its Biden's Fault and its Biden's Fault and its Biden's Fault and its Biden's Fault and its Biden's Fault and its Biden's Fault and its Biden's Fault and its Biden's Fault and its Biden's Fault"
Joke:
Donald Trump passes a female staffer and is mesmerized by her golden cross ✝️ and says THAT is a stunning piece of jewelry! But, there's one thing I don't understand.

Leavitt is not helping to dispel the notion that Americans are seen as both arrogant and ignorant.
In fact, she is the epitome of this arrogance and ignorance as she expressed righteous indignation towards a reporter who was actually correct.
Gaslighting is a trait of a psychopathic personality. Normally people become uncomfortable when they lie, she relishes it. It’s no wonder I find her press releases so chilling. The whole administration has personality disorders.
Let me guess. John Roberts (or JD as he was known in Canada) has not once spoken in support of Canada's sovereignty and pushed back against Trump's threats against the country he was born in. #cdnpol #tariffs
That is why they are tearing down the DoE and eliminating NIH grants that fund universities; college will only be accessible to the wealthy. At the same time, the red pill podcasters are selling Gen Z on a life full of riches without a college degree. Trapping our youth into a lack of choice.
I like how she says Trump is going to bring back manufacturing jobs to America while at the same time tanking the US auto industry, which, checks notes, is US manufacturing!
Correction: It's going to be bad for a long while & it's definitely not worth it.
There's no way that tearing down & dismantling our country will make us wealthy & powerful again. The process will not work. The numbers don't add up. But, they assume the cult will believe whatever is fed to them.
He was promising jobs in 2 years and that was him lying about his optimism. He needs to go ahead tell people they need to be unemployed for 2 years for his sake
Why is it going to be “worth it”? Who are you referring to? The rich and disgustingly rich who will get even more rich off of the hard working Americans who have been faithful MAGAs and now financially and morally damaged? I would expect these soulless assholes to tell ALL citizens thank you. FTS
I don't know what she said next but let me speculate "What we need" is to lower labor & regulatory costs to those similar to other cheaper countries. Destroy unions; eliminate EPA regulations; gut middle class jobs and create a depression so US workers will work for nothing to survive.......
I can imagine her response: "There's no need for an explanation. The American people voted for that, they gave a resounding mandate to president Trump to inflict pain on them".
We have the most expensive workers in the world. Most of us who have white collar jobs don't want to be forced to go back to working in factories. It is trade that has allowed us to be productive and grow to having the largest GDP in the world.
Its fox news so they always are going to lie and not report the full effect of something so negative. So by them even saying short term means it'll be longer.
A basement level of economic knowledge is being displayed here.
Why would the US replace it's high value-add jobs for low ones like resource refining and low-level manufacturing? With (previously) record low unemployment, who would work these menial jobs?
"Jacqui, the president is far too busy playing golf and pretending to drive his new car to bother with the little people. I thought Fox News would understand that."
Manufacturing is never coming back because Amerian workers want benefits and $30 an hour and manufacturers can pay someone in a third world country $1 a day with no benefits. The only way "American made" returns is if products double or triple in price, and people won't pay that. It's all a lie.
I mean if they break the country hard enough with tariffs and crashing the economy and everyone goes broke ppl would start taking those jobs for that level of pay? Maybe that’s where they are going with this?
Japan also has a society where you try to respect the people around you and the CEO's take pay cuts when the company under performs. I don't see that happening in Western countries anytime soon.

AND ALSO: I WILL BE PUSHED OUT A WINDOW IF I DON'T SERVE UP THE US ON A PLATTER TO VLAD!!
TRUMP DOESN’T KNOW WHAT THE HECK HE’S DOING.
And still no reason behind their imposition.
That woman is a monstrosity.

US population: 347 million
The United States is a super economy because it participates in the world economy.
Let's see how it all works as the US decides to feed only upon itself.
Shameful
#elbowsup
Administration sans expertise is going to come up against reality at some point.
immoveable object vs. unstoppable force

Staffer: What's that Mr. President?
Trump: Why isn't the ✝️ CAPITALIZED?!
They wear it to distract from their actions and words.

If the wind is blowing from the east tariffs are on for Mexico..
If Saturn is aligned with Venus tariffs are on for Canada..
These reporters are stupid! 😂
This puts more people in the bread line.

They really do.
Who can’t read past grade six.
Or simply both.

That's a no??
2. "A little while" is decades.
3. If 99% of Americans are made poor, and USA alienated all allies, you cannot be a manufacturing superpower. Because there's nobody to buy your crap.
#Trump #tariffs #fascism #cdnpoli
And when did Baby Billy join Fox?
What's trumps plan to make every American work for pennies?
Yarvin's "New Deal, but in reverse" is explicitly a plan to turn the United States into a third world economy.
Musk is following the shock therapy economics of Milton Friedman to a T.
The end game is a Kleptocratic state believing submission of the people to the market masters is the only path to freedom (for the wealthy).
Like Pinochet's Chile or Putin's Russia.

But, this, (Orange Shitler's) Corruption-Diseased Dystopian Nazi-aspirated Empire of (ACTUAL) lies / propaganda / indoctrination-attempts, rising exhibition of Imperialist-oppression, tyranny, WILL be (short-lived).
