Fox News Turns on Trump After He Tanks the Market, Wiping Out $6.4 Trillion

“I wish I could take back my vote that year.” — A Michigan voter confessed during a focus group organized by Axios. And she wasn’t alone. A wave of betrayal is sweeping across the country — from the very people who once put their faith in Donald Trump.

Broken Promises in Michigan

Once a Trump stronghold, Michigan is now a symbol of disillusionment. The promises of economic revival and lower living costs have faded. Reality hits harder: jobs disappearing, prices soaring, and social support gutted.

And if there’s one person who embodies this collective disappointment, it’s Elon Musk — the man Trump handed an unofficial role in his administration. “He came in with a hammer and smashed everything — with Trump’s blessing.”

“I Thought He’d Make Life Easier”

Another voice chimed in, bitterly: “I thought he’d make things cheaper. Now he’s just terrorizing the world with tariffs, and everything’s more expensive than ever.”

Tariffs — Trump’s economic weapon of choice — have turned into a nightmare for the American public. Imported cars are now expected to cost $4,000 to $10,000 more, triggered by a single tweet. GM’s stock dropped 5% mid-speech. The Dow plunged over 540 points. And that was just the beginning.

Not Just America — The World Strikes Back

Even Canada — America’s closest ally — has had enough. In front of the Ambassador Bridge, a symbol of U.S.-Canada trade, Canadian officials declared an end to economic and military cooperation with the U.S. “This is a direct attack on Canadian workers,” one official said angrily.

Europe didn’t stay silent either. The President of the European Commission called Trump’s decision “a stupid punch to the face of global supply chains.” Ontario Premier Doug Ford issued a stark warning: “We’re not lying down. The U.S. will feel the consequences.”

Auto Industry in Free Fall — The People Pay the Price

In this new tariff era, no car is truly “Made in the USA.” Crucial parts come from Canada and Mexico. When Trump slaps tariffs on them, the entire auto industry wobbles.

According to the Anderson Economic Group, production costs for EVs could rise by $3,500 to $12,000 per vehicle. For everyday Americans, already battered by inflation and job cuts, the price tag is unbearable.

Even Fox News Is Out of Excuses

Wall Street is in panic mode. Economists from Larry Summers to Paul Krugman are sounding the alarm: Trump is steering America toward a new recession. Fox News — once his most loyal media ally — is no longer staying quiet.

They’re questioning. They’re criticizing. They’re warning. The same voices that once defended every Trump move are now turning. Not out of ideology, but because the truth is too stark: “America First” is turning into “America Alone and Falling.”

Recession Looms — Reform or Ruin

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich wants to take America back to an era when tariffs were the primary source of revenue. But today’s economists warn: globalization doesn’t mix with walls. Tariffs only raise production costs, reduce consumer spending, and break global supply chains.

Even Trump loyalists like Rand Paul are sounding the alarm: “Tariffs won’t just kill the economy — they’ll kill his re-election chances too.”

From Beef to Penguins

And perhaps the most absurd consequence? Trump’s tariffs now reportedly cover… penguins and uninhabited Arctic islands. It sounds like satire, but it’s real. A perfect snapshot of a chaotic, knee-jerk policy spiral.

$6.4 trillion has evaporated from the market in just weeks. But that number pales in comparison to what’s truly being lost: trust.

Trust is abandoning Trump. It’s crumbling alongside the Dow. And when even Fox News — his last media fortress — turns away, only one question remains:

Can America recover from the fall it brought upon itself?
