Why did Fox News suddenly attack Ronald Reagan’s trade record?
You know, state regime media, known as Fox, is in a total collapse when it goes and attacks Ronald Reagan as being really bad on trade because a Reagan-appointed judge ruled against Donald Trump on a three-judge panel, joined by a Trump-appointed judge and a Biden-appointed judge. All three judges said that Donald Trump's tariff policy was. patently unlawful. You know that ruling is now stayed by a federal court of appeals, but the way Fox was spending the whole day attacking that was they would bring on Howard Lutnick and they spent the day with their guests attacking Reagan. Reagan bad on trade. Reagan not good. Watch this. Play this clip.
Was he surprised about this three judge panel because it was a Reagan judge, it wasn't a it was a Trump judge, uh, and then it was an Obama judge, so it was a unanimous ruling uh on this court. W is he surprised by that?
Well, I think, you know, he was not happy with the panel because the what you call the Trump judge is just one of these blue slip judges, meaning it was a Democrat judge. It was their seat and he just approved their seat, which is the deal for those kind of things. And and you know, while we would love Ronald Reagan, you know, on trade, he just was not a strong trade guy. So um, you know, I think the the president saw the panel. He's been through this kind of stuff before. I think he's confident on appeal. He's confident at the Supreme Court. And I think he knows he's gonna win because he's gotta protect the American people.
People go after Ronald Reagan. It's wild. But it wasn't just unique to Howard Lutnick, the Sham Wow salesman right there. For those who know Sham Wow, you know what I'm talking about right there. Peter Navarro was on Fox, and Peter Navarro talked about the rogue judges, the rogue Reagan judge, the rogue Trump judge. And uh the host was like The the rogue Reagan Yeah, Reagan wasn't good on trade. Reagan was bad on he was a free trader. Here, play this clip.
And with respect to the the legal arguments themselves, these are rogue judges uh that are basically I think. Trump was appointed by Donald Trump. That's a rogue job. There was one appointed by Donald Trump who was a career bureaucrat over a USGR. But more importantly, the person who wrote the decision, Rastani, was appointed by Reagan, free trader. She's the one who took the lead trying to stop the Section 232 tariffs and got overruled in the appeals court. So there's a lot of stuff going on.
Watching these Republicans go full MAGA and contort themselves into whatever the heck Donald Trump is doing, which is fascism melded with central planning combined with tachistocracy idiocracy, is just a sight to behold. Bring on the scam artists, bring on the con artists, bring on Mr. Shamwau, Howard Lutnick, Donald Trump's uh commerce secretary. And here Howard Lutnick says, it's all good. We're bringing in $10 trillion to build factories. 10 trillion. He just made they just make up numbers. Trillion, 10 trillion.
What was the three‑judge panel’s ruling on Trump’s tariff policy?
And then they do the thing with their hands to make it seem like extra persuasive. 10 trillion, everybody. Here play this clip.
I think he knows he's gonna win because he's gotta protect the American people. He's gotta protect the American workers. He's got ten trillion dollars coming to build factories in America and he's gonna stand for the American people. And he's got lots of other authorities, but I think this one's gonna work and it's going to hold. You just have to get real judges.
10 trillion, what the hell are you talking about? And then Howard Lutnick continues down this line of being a con artist and a scammer. And he's goes, there's 10 trillion in factories being built. And he goes, probably we're growing the economy 50% faster than otherwise. So 10 trillion, the economy's growing by 50%. None of this is true. They're just literally making up fakes. numbers that are large numbers. Here play this clip.
The economic growth that Donald Trump is driving here, right? He's got $10 trillion with the factories being built. That's huge economic growth. It'll probably grow the economy 50% faster than would have otherwise grown.
