In two days the Dow has nosedived more than 1,500 points. That is the nation&#8217;s investors registering their stark disapproval of Trump&#8217;s assault on the domestic economy. They know that he is creating an unnecessary burden on American businesses and consumers. And he isn&#8217;t helping the 401K plans of workers and retirees either. But he is promising to run the country like he does his businesses. Which is more of a threat than a promise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=65337\" target=\"_blank\">OH-NO! Trump WH Aide Brags They are Running the Country Like Trump and Musk Run Their Businesses<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Fox News, Maria Bartiromo (a business correspondent before switching to Senior Trump-fluffer) did a segment on Trump&#8217;s tariffs wherein a reporter interviewed the owner of a car dealership in Pennsylvania. He may not have been the guy that Fox News meant to interview. He described his experience with a customer who was prepared a buy a Dodge Ram truck before the Trump tariffs kicked in. But now the $80,000 truck would cost $100,000 and the dealer said that <em>&#8220;He&#8217;s not gonna buy the truck. It&#8217;s gonna sit on my lot and&#8230;nobody is gonna buy the truck because it just had a $20,000 price increase.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Whereupon, Bartiromo tried to rescue the segment by unleashing a wildly flawed rant about the inequities of of international auto markets. She raged&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Let me ask you this: How many Dodge Rams do you see driving around Europe? How many Dodge Rams do you see driving around India? I mean, not many. I bet. Why? Because they don&#8217;t buy our cars. And that&#8217;s what President Trump is trying to change. Maybe Dodge should start building them here and selling them here.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:4llrhdclvdlmmynkwsmg5tdc\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3ljl645lztg2q\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreiagwuwx6zbij2ln6xjb4vbejwcizs5xxxon7rgji5e4wdrepp34hi\">\n<p lang=\"en\">Fox Business interviewed the owner of a Pennsylvania auto dealership who says of Trump&#39;s tariffs, &#34;nobody is gonna buy the truck, because it just had $20,000 price increase &#8230; this is pretty radical.&#34;The show then cut back to Maria Bartiromo, who threw a tantrum.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:4llrhdclvdlmmynkwsmg5tdc?ref_src=embed\">Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:4llrhdclvdlmmynkwsmg5tdc\/post\/3ljl645lztg2q?ref_src=embed\">2025-03-04T19:09:48.116Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.bsky.app\/static\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s set aside the absurdity of how she framed her question, by asking if her viewers have seen any Dodge Rams trucks driving around Europe. As if her viewers are in Europe cataloguing cars by manufacturer. More to the point, she was typically wrong about every bit of data that she uttered. First of all, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorfinanceonline.com\/news\/dodge-ram-registrations-surge-in-europe-prompting-calls-for-regulatory-action\/\" target=\"_blank\">according to Motor Finance Online,<\/a><\/strong> the streets of Europe are teeming with trucks from Dodge&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The European Environment Agency data reveals that nearly 5,000 Dodge RAMs were imported into Europe in 2023, marking a 20% increase from 2022. This brings the total number of Dodge RAMs on European roads to at least 20,000.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Furthermore, contrary to Bartiromo&#8217;s ill-informed assertion, Dodge Rams are indeed sold here in America in large numbers. Nearly 90,000 in the third quarter of 2024 alone. And as for where they are made, most are manufactured in two plants located in Warren, and Sterling Heights, Michigan.<\/p>\n<p>It never ceases to amaze how monumentally wrong these MAGA media propagandists are. It has to be intentional, because no one could really be that relentlessly stupid, could they? And as noted above, business is actually Bartiromo&#8217;s beat.<\/p>\n<p>But in Trump World, everyone must have signed onto the agreement to always exalt Trump and anything he says, no matter how obviously untrue or utterly preposterous. And by that measure, Bartiromo, Fox News, and the rest of the MAGA media are doing an incredible job. Or more accurately, an un-credible job.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=65220\" target=\"_blank\">PINO TRUMP: A President-In-Name-Only Who Spends More Time on TV and Golfing than Presidenting<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=64904\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Pledges to Forgo 100\u2019s of Billions in Revenue By Letting Wealthy Tax Cheaters Off the Hook<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=64085v\" target=\"_blank\">FOX News Anchor Admits Trump Tax (Tariffs) Will Raise Prices and Inflation for U.S. Consumers<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/newscorpse.bsky.social\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For many months Donald Trump has been touting his plans to impose tariffs on products from some of America&#8217;s closest allies and biggest trading partners, Canada, Mexico, and Europe.
