From FOX News:
"Laura: Only Trump has had the ‘guts’ to end the ‘great foreign rip-off’ of America
Fox News host Laura Ingraham dispels ‘myth-perceptions’ around President Donald Trump’s economic agenda on ‘The Ingraham Angle."
From FOX News
And from FOX News anchor Harris Faulkner:
“Look, when this nation used to go to war, people in this country would support the war effort with their materials at home and making things for weaponry and all of that. We gotta do 100 percent buy-in over this bumpy period."

Perhaps Harris Faulkner can explain what war is America at right now. But I wouldn't even bet a cup of coffee on that... especially with prices going up as fast as they are, thanks to President Trump's trade war. Wait, I got it: the war that Faulkner is thinking of, is the President's trade war, that he started, that he didn't have to start.
From The New Democrat talking about Laura Ingraham:
And if you are someone who just doesn't love political history, but Hollywood political history films... there's a great line from Hal Holbrook (who played Deepthroat in All The President' Men in 1976) where he's talking to Bob Woodward (played by Robert Redford) about the Watergate burglars and the people in The White House whose job was to cover up the Watergate and the Plummers mess created by President Richard Nixon and his loyalists:
"The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand".
The fact is The White House only speaks to 1 audience, which is their MAGA base. They feel as long as they have those small town, blue-collar, folks who think America is has been going to hell since the 1960s because of multiculturalism and everything else from that period... they'll be fine. They just have to stay in there and keep doing all the fighting and attacking the so-called elitists. And anyone who isn't rural, Anglo-Saxon male, they'll just label those folks as DEI when they stand up to this White House.
So when you are only speaking to 1 audience and morality and honesty if anything are just obstructors to your ultimate goal which is to take over and run America, you can literally lie your asses off in public, even purger yourselves in front of Congress. Because who's going to stop them...
From The New Democrat
"Secretary Scott Bessent's line: "Many of the employees are fantastic. It's this consultant group. They're like a boa constrictor. They're like a python," he said. "They've constricted themselves around our government, and the costs are unbelievable. They're being passed on to the American taxpayer."
Reminds me of this expression: "The expression "you can never trust a snake" is a common idiom used to describe someone who is deceitful, untrustworthy, and potentially dangerous, often implying they are scheming or manipulative. It's rooted in the image of a snake, a creature often associated with stealth and danger."
I'm just wondering of the Secretary is speaking from personal experience here. And perhaps cluing in Laura Ingraham's viewers about his own trustworthiness.
Which would explain Fox News host Laura Ingraham less than enthusiastic expression and response to Secretary Bessent when the Secretary compared Federal workers to snakes...
From The New Democrat
Just when I thought Laura Ingraham was finally seeing the light (so to speak) about President Trump's trade policies and other bad decisions that they're making that don't just have bad political consequences for the country, but for the Republican Party as well, (which is really what DJT should be thinking about, because that would a problem for him) I guess someone from the "deep state" got to her and told her to shut the hell up when it comes to doing anything but treating The Donald like he's nothing but God himself.
I take some of that back: Laura Ingraham does see the light on Donald Trump when it comes to Russia's war on Ukraine, Signal Gate, and now his trade war. It's a question of whether she has the character and his honest enough to make those views public or, not. Whether she is willing to even leak out on her own show what she thinks about these things. which is what she was doing on Signal Gate last week and her interview with Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent 2 weeks ago, where she seemed to take issue with the Secretary referring to government employees as reptiles.
The main difference between a virtuous and a bungler, is the virtuous doesn't have to worry about what will happen to them when they screw up. They don't have to not just come up with a story, or worry about if they've already used that story before, because they're liars. The virtuous can just say:
"I screwed up. I didn't have enough information before I decided to do this, that, and the other thing". And the people around them will probably take their word on that because they trust that person.
The bungler doesn't have that luxury. I mean when they get caught, it's generally redhanded, like dropping their ID on their way out of the store, or smiling to the camera because they want to be famous, etc. And they get caught at the very least doing something dishonest, that they could get sued for, or just arrested for. And they have to think real fast about how to get way with what they and everyone else knows that they just did. And make sure they didn't use some old story that they haven't already used before.
The Trump Administration, whether you are talking about DOGE, Signal Gate, and now the escalation of the President's trade war, are playing the role of the bunglers. With their propaganda operation going out-of-their-way every day and night, trying to make up excuses explaining that it's either not the President's fault for doing exactly what he did, or, will all work out in the end because The Master has some grand vision.
What Trump News doesn't understand is Donald Trump has no more political vision than the average bat, or bird thats always crashing into buildings and homes.. He just makes precarious decisions on the fly like the drunk who thinks they're sober enough to drive themselves home, because they're always like that. And I'm not talking about planes here. Plane crashes in the Trump Administration, is a different issue. And Trump News embarrasses themselves every day and night... because it pays well for them.
