Fox News Drops Bomb on Trump on Live TV - Pondering Politics



Disclaimer: No actual bombs were dropped.

Fox News is reluctantly highlighting concerns about Donald Trump's economic performance ahead of the November midterms. Despite Trump's claims of economic success, public sentiment remains negative, with polls showing most Americans feel worse off financially.

A Wall Street Journal op-ed criticizes Trump’s tariffs, stating they haven’t revived manufacturing and have instead increased costs and uncertainty. Key economic indicators show a decline in manufacturing jobs, factory activity, and construction spending under Trump’s policies.

Even conservative figures like Karl Rove and Fox News hosts are questioning the narrative of economic strength, with some using metaphors like "renovating a house" to justify pain for future gain. A Fox News poll reveals 39% of Americans believe they are worse off financially than a year ago, signaling potential electoral risk for Republicans.
