The Affordability Crisis is Over According to Fox News – After Talking to Some CEOs"},"content":{"rendered":"

The American economy is presently in what is called a “K-shaped economy,”<\/em> wherein the rich are getting richer and the middle-class and poor are struggling to keep their heads above water. It’s a rather common situation during Republican administrations that favor the wealthy and corporations.<\/p>\n

Under Donald Trump this economic disparity has gotten worse. But the only thing that you will ever hear from him and his MAGA cult cohorts is that things are fantastic because the stock market is rising. Never mind that most Americans have no market holdings to benefit from any of that. The delusions that plague Trump prevent him from seeing the economic realities. Or even the realities of his abysmal approval ratings…<\/p>\n

On Sunday morning Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda (aka Fox News) went to work to shore up Trump’s standing on the economy that he has wrecked. The “Curvy Couch”<\/em> potatoes of Fox and Friends welcomed their network colleague – and Fox’s Senior Trump-Fluffer – Maria Bartiromo to the program to fire up the gaslighting. Bartiromo engaged in the following exchange with the weekend co-hosts…<\/p>\n

Griff Jenkins:<\/strong> So Maria, let me pick up on this past jobs report quickly and get your assessment on the fact that, you know, Trump is constantly talking about record markets you mentioned there, rising wages, and what we also see, fewer layoffs. But this week already we’re gonna be hearing Democrats about how horrible the economy is.
\nBartiromo:<\/strong> That’s just propaganda. I mean, look, things are going well. And I think we all feel it. Look at where we are right now. You’ve got job creation. You’ve got economic growth. You’ve got $18 trillion of new investments. The president’s main priority has been to put America first […] But when you actually look at what’s going on, things feel pretty good. I’ve spoken with a number of CEOs who tell me that business is up, strongly. And it has to do partly with the “Big Beautiful Bill.”
\nRachel Campos-Duffy:<\/strong> I hear you, and that’s all great news, and that’s what Americans need to hear. But what do you think is leading to the disconnect in maybe some voters and Americans not feeling that way? So why is that do you think?
\nBartiromo:<\/strong> I think it’s messaging. I really do. I mean the Republicans need to do a better job of telling their story and communicating what the “Big Beautiful Bill” has done for earnings.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

GREAT NEWS!
Maria Bartiromo of Fox News has "spoken with a number of CEOs" who tell her "business is up." While they're slashing jobs.<\/p>\n

When asked why "Americans aren't feeling that way," she says it's "messaging." Republicans just need to lie better about how great things are. https:\/\/t.co\/tkq8gglO2F<\/a><\/p>\n
